Few groups are more legendary than The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, John Cale, Mou Tucker, Sterling Morrison and Nico. This avant-garde band, who proposed an early age music completely different from the prevailing hippie (a mixture of naïve, rock and a foreshadow of the "noise rock") was adopted by Andy Warhol, even filmed some of his songs, as Sunday Morning a classic within a classic LP, the famous "banana" by the cover artist of Pittsburgh.
The vicissitudes of the group were several in the aesthetic, political (Tucker today belongs to the Tea Party), and the world of drugs (the most and the least ended rather badly), as were Andy Warhol, who had the misfortune of being shot by Valerie Solanas two days before Robert Kennedy was murdered, on June 6, 1968. Sure his megalomania was affected by finishing as a footnote: there are things that hurt more than the shooting. Many years later, the death of the artist, Lou Reed and John Cale have devoted an album, Songs for Drella (pictured above) . Nico But we hear singing with his wicked voice so soft the famous theme of Lou.
