When they show the Transformer album they seem to imply that the woman/drag queen on the back is Lou Reed... well, it's not. Both the guy & the woman on Transformer's back cover is Ernie Thormalen (not sure I spell it right) who was Reed's friend/bodyguard at the time... I'm amazed they got it wrong. Transformer's one of the first albums I ever bought, round 1976, I was 12... Lou Reed is great, Andy Warhol was a genius & the people in the song some of the coolest people ever
@SalParadise1947 Oh...your so jaded aren't you? It's pointless to disagree with the fact that Andy and The Velvet Underground influenced Art and Music......they didn't get the credit that the Beatles and Rolling Stones got but to deny their influence is to have either A) Mental retardation or B) A personal dissatisfaction with the truth. You may dislike this kind of Art but it was an invention with no base....which is huge.
Thanx so much for uploading this..Man, was Joe beautiful....original Brad Pritt!
