Lou Reed & John Cale - I Believe

I'm a huge Lou fan, but I thought that with such a topic, he would've done something better than "Jeez that bitch should've just died herself"
I mean, a genius like Lou wrote this? I don't really believe it

Andy's death must've been one of the worst things that happened to the crowd and I'm not even capable of understanding their loss, but making a song all about wishing death upon someone else isn't... right, for lack of a better word. Even if it is Valerie Solanas.

I actually really like the playfulness of the piano vs. the fucked up subject matter of the lyrics

You could do worse than work out violence through art. This is great!

Oh, sorry about the misunderstanding. I thought you were some Valerie Solanas supporter or something.

Oh, really?

yeah, actually.. the lyrics are stupid and boring. i have always thought he was a wise man, but wishing solanas death just because she shot his mate...
and besides the lyrics ,the music's just insufferable too..

I do not support violence but I think the craft is a reflection of emotion. Thanks for you input

I'd hardly call Warhol his "mate". Warhol enforced a singer Nico on them they didn't want, and they fired Warhol after a year... Reed's still objective about Solanis being a nut and wishing her dead

Valerie Solanas was a piece of shit who gave feminism a horrible name. Good riddance.
