@genericusername337 I don't think Lou & Andy left on good terms...so for Lou to be defending Andy in such a way, well, I think it speaks to how much Lou did valued him.

@genericusername337 He rhymed "vial" with "vile." And she didn't kill Andy, she did worse. She killed the Factory. I wish I could've killed her myself.

well i like and agree

'From inside, her Idiot Madness spoke' I think this is pretty good lyricism, though I hate the part 'I believe that being sick is no excuse'...
As a song of feelings of deep personal resentment, retribution for the nadir the ineffable tragedy of Solanis and SCUM... you can hate the song, but it makes an impact... )O(

Hilariously inappropriate guitar solo.

@Hister333 no I'm aware he can be a jerk, I've seen his interviews, and I know he loves his apathetic junkie vibe, but making a song like this is some kind of closure...

@genericusername337 You have a lot to learn about Lou Reed.



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

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.
