Excellent response RJ.....the record clubs.....many of my NJ friends in 75' were getting albums for a $.01....I did not jump on it....oh well. It takes some creative and advanced minds to understand Lou and get him. But sounds you were on top of it.....and had to listen to it alone. thanks

Ayyy utah represent

I love everything about this story.

Oh I don’t doubt it. The VU probably doesn’t make it to the Native Diné communities and you know that the cult of Mormons wouldn’t get it.

He had his intellect that either you clicked with or did not, same with his music! thanks for sharing!

He sold out to Honda scooters though lol I agree about the rest though.

@@natetheannihilnater1886 Artists deserve the extra $$.....that is old school thought. Plus it is great exposure to the public!

@@FlipSideCT Yea, i dont mind that he did it. Was just kinda funny. Was like John Lydon doing the butter commercial.

That surely must have hit home and brought the song closer! Thanks for sharing that!!

Thanks for sharing that. Like you, would never have expected Lou to say that. Good to know.

yup....how else can he make a point!

So glad you enjoyed this Edward. I loved making it! I did not get into the VU until later, but at 14 was a solo Lou fan also. I saw Lou play with U2 at an ARMS festival in New Jersey in might have been 85. I am sure U2 were honored to have Lou open for them, and felt the same as you did. It is funny how some folks just can not figure out or dislike his delivery style. I will be showing soon some of his live albums I picked up in the past year. thanks, steve

U2 included satellite of love in their achtung baby tour ...and bono credited his "look" for the tour to lou reed

that is a real out of the box show to have witnessed for a 1st show. but a great one

Nice to hear that! Glad you can dig this, and I appreciate you letting me know, and so glad to have shared it. I have other docs (more Stones).

thank you very much Memo....some folks get this video others do not. We know it is RnR!!! cheers

always love to hear a Lou story, thanks for sharing and watching. Lou spent time down at Carmine St. nice memory. steve

Yes,.new York album is special

thanks for sharing your stories on your personal Lou experience. cool to hear and enjoyed it. I totally get your points, yes, I did stress this in my thoughts.....as Lou would get side swiped by many. He had to handle it the way he could, and was aware of it all. there are not many Lou fans out there as I would hope for, as he has his edginess, and it does take a bit of a sophisticated mind to get him and approve his delivery. Critics fall into this also. What is a critic? we all have our taste, and there are some that just click with us, and some that don't. Everything is critiqued. I see it in my docs that I make. I have about 3% of haters who just do not see eye to eye with me, and the majority of others do get it. cheers

it is all about the Turn On.....gotta get Lou out there and exposed more. thanks for the watch.....cheers, steve

FlipSideCT I just finished the rest a bit ago. Thank you so much for all you put into this. Just amazing. Best thing I’ve seen on KZfaq in quite some time... Kudos!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Kudos to you for watching/enjoying it. Thank you Hanna. I did not see anything out here or doc that exists in identifying Lou's foundation, it is usually only a 5 minute length synopsis if anything. I have more Lou coming ahead. keep smiling! steve

ahhhh, you are on to Lou now. cool! He was brilliant for sure, and seemed also to get bored easy. You may want to look for my video where I go to the NYC Library to look at some of his personal archive collection.....that to me was a fantastic adventure that I will do again. He is the face of 'Punk'. a pleasure my friend!

thank you!! had a blast making this, and feel there is nothing out there that goes over this. Revolutionary, yes! It takes special folks that can appreciate him!

TY MP.....my goal was accomplished! Wanted folks to see insight from another perspective! cheers

nice to hear, thanks for the support. No Fluff, from a fan for a fan. enjoy my other Lou's and docs

Thank you! a treat for me to hear this!! Love hearing from Lou fans!!

A notch under your belt, nice......for some reason, I never went with my buddies in NYC to see him at that time period. Then again, these guys were competing with the uppers with Lou, and were the guys screaming "LOUUUUUU" at the Bottom Line. Maybe why I chose not to go.

Wonderful to hear.....and goal has been met! There is so many Velvet Docs out there......but less Lou specific that is detailed. Took a lot of time, but a labour of love. thanks for all!

A pleasure Tom, glad you are a Lou fan and thanks for letting me know. cheers, and check out my other docs.

TY TZ!!!!!! I enjoy it myself!!

Of course!! thanks for commenting!! For the Lou fans!!

Thank you for the feedback and observations. It is a challenge to come up with these docs from scratch, and glad you understood my flow, and that is exactly my goal is too keep your interest with something. If you look around my videos, I share the same format with other cool topics. thanks steve

thanks Arthur and for commenting and letting me know, glad you are a Lou fan, as we know share his greatness.

appreciated Andrew for commenting.....very cool to let me know. Love the Lou fans, and we stick together. just a note, if it does anything for you....his 96' album Set the Twilight Reeling is being released this weekend for Record Store day.

thanks so much Heather. very nice comments. I learned a lot also, and it was a pleasure to make and share it for that purpose. best, steve

Great Victor, I appreciate the comment and the folks that do get "Lou", great to see!!

appreciate those comments Nate, cool! TY. I made this for the real Rock n Rollers who get it and love the turn on. So much to know and learn! I am glad it clicked for you. Check out my other docs!!

you are welcome. From a Lou fan for the Lou fan. I would say it was more of a Lou doc then Velvet. There are some great ones out there, which is why I did not think I needed to extend this. thanks for sharing and commenting! check out my other docs.

Way to go Sarah, I am impressed with anyone that recognizes Lou's obvious talents and appreciated what he gave us. He is not for everyone...Thank you for your kind and honest words. It is a passion for me to deliver what I can to others so they can learn more. Please look around my other videos there are other docs.....that I am proud of making. Keep listening to Lou! steve

lol.......achieved my goal then! I learned plenty also which makes it fun to do. I felt the people needed a intro to Lou that would convey his genius and attitude. thank you!! more to come....at least more Lou albums. steve

Glad you enjoyed it Jane.....check out my other docs!!

so glad to hear you enjoyed. It is all about the turn on to have you walk away with something! cheers

Thank you for watching it.....I got my point made then!

thank you for the comments, glad you got something from it. I sure did. cheers steve

Me too, how refreshing it is to have such a work. I'd only say that Victor Bokris wrote a book about William Burroughs and I hated it feeling he is a fan boy interloper however I've yet to read his Lou book so can't denounce him entirely. Thanks again for the upload 📙📖😊

Thanks Russ.....nice letting me know this!! I had a blast making it! I felt not much out there taking us fans thru the Lou's early world. Yes a lot of work and prep.....but it has been all worth it! cheers check out the other docs also. I do have a Library archive video on Lou also.

Thank you Nick. I needed to get info out there that was not obvious. Glad you got something out of it all. Thanks for subscribing. I am sure you will find more vids on my channel you will enjoy!

thank you for sharing your very cool and touching experience and family stories. Very nice to hear that. To see Lou solo and acoustic set, I do not think he did that often so that was a treat. I know he did not allow the NY Dolls open for him when they were supposed to (I think Manchester dont remember, I have it in one of my docs). It is great to see the classic and important music be passed on. Newer bands are referencing their influences so hopefully it keeps getting passed on from folks like your kids and other professionals. cheers

@@FlipSideCT So nice of you to reply! The gig I was at was at Dunstable Civic, 30th Oct 1972. Pretty weird and amazing to say the least, but at the time I simply took it completely for granted, as kids do! However, I’ve never forgotten it, and never lost my admiration for Lou 💙

Hi Rob, it was a project for sure. Enough that I could not even play music while I worked on it, so I could focus on detail. There is a methodical approach on how I do this.....and getting all the info on paper is the first. Hopefully if we see each other I will explain more. So that was the Bells Tour you saw, very cool, and at Paradise wow.....I had my chances. That was real intense the Shooting Up imagery. I put in an Amnesty clip in here for you and I. The book is great as mentioned, I had to gather more info, so I spent plenty of listening to his interviews, so I made sure it was accurate info. He was very much into Electonics.....hence Metal Machine.....Laurie A. turned him on to a lot of it also....and look at those guitars..all different not mainstream. He was all about that Beat Scene (or I can say an early punk stage). glad to have put more info into that RnR head of yours.....Coney Island.....hmmmm.....nice. Lol....I am going to be doing a CIB album review, so your grabbed a good one! Give the Rock N Roll Heart or Legendary Hearts a good listen also....I almost did those reviews. I will have a cool Orpehum Live album to show soon. thanks for all Rob.....best, steve

@kkh369 That is some one of kind prize to have. A bit sad, but iconic and story to pass on for sure, thanks for sharing!

I was at that 79 Paradise show. Cheers...

thanks Christopher, I enjoyed it myself and learned. best steve

That cliche "labour of love"......and a lot of focus peppered in there. I am by no means an expert on the topics......so the learning while I work on it makes it worthwhile...... Then deliver it like we are having a beer together. Thanks for understanding the effort......hey, maybe one day someone will ask me to make a doc and pay me. I could not listen to music while I did this, that was the only bad thing. Then there is the "turn on" that I want folks to gain an appreciation of Lou. Especially that he had so much to offer. I still think his NY breed turns off folks....and that is a barrier I intended to break down. As you know, I embrace your words with much genuine admiration. thank you for all, steve

thanks ZB for letting me know.....I love it myself! check out the others.

GJ thank you very much....and for getting my channel's exposure purpose. It is great to see folks like yourself be in sync with me on the music. I do plan on more, just so much friggin time. cheers Steve

@@FlipSideCT yes these must take a lot of time to make and I appreciate it. So well researched I feel like I am taking a college class! I know a lot about music and I am learning stuff from your videos. Just awesome.

@@curlessmania4708 funny you say that....yea, with multi media. All 'bout the "turn on", to learn something you don't know.

Well, you understand it, that is cool. Not many Lou's around us, we were luck to have him, a one of kind that touch us all. I had the opportunity to go listen and read up to Lou's archives in NYC library. an amazing experience and I put a video out on that also. cheers steve

you are very welcome AmberK....thanks for letting me know, and being a Lou fan. look thru my other videos on the channel and you will find more.

cool Jim, thanks for commenting and being a Lou fan. It is all out there...and many know details. It is a sure a challenge to find something now folks do not know. The key is to tie many facts in together to make a coherent timeline glad you enjoyed!! Check out my vid on when I went to NYC library to see Lou's archives.

Glad you like it! thanks for sharing

thanks Richard. Because a true fan that gets what other fans want to see and hear did it!

Point well made Tim! Thank you very much. I want folks to gain an appreciation of Lou. Especially that he had so much to offer. I still think his NY breed turns off folks....and that is a barrier I intended to break down. I had a few friends that would see him plenty.....and would embarrassingly be high as a kite and scream "LOoooooU! They are heard on a few NYC bootlegs. He did have that tough skin and was aware of it and accepted it, as you said. I am planning to do an album review, and I have some real nice LIVE albums I have been buying to show. thanks for all, steve

I take it that you are talking about your band covering VU. nice

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, Lou was above and beyond.

Hi Stephen.....thank you for the comment glad you enjoyed, thought you may say John Cale fan also from Wales, but probably that also. cheers steve

thanks for letting me know James...hopefully you check out the other docs I have.

Thank you so much Sway Austin.....great input, and your expressing this makes me smile. I am glad you did appreciate this and take notice to my videos. There are a few topics on my "to do" list.......but there is a need for breaks in between.....as when I do these.....I turn off all other distractions, even listening to music, to focus. all the best, steve

thanks for sharing. check out a few of my other Lou vids. April 20 2024 Record Store Day is releasing a special album dedicated to Lou songs by other artists. Keith Richards plays Waiting for the Man.

thanks Steve for your comment and support on this. He was also very filtering on the BS vs who can keep up with the conversation at his pace. Just talk guitars and tech, and you were in for sure.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know.

thanks MH....My Rolling Stones Black and Blue Doc Part one is out there now!

@@FlipSideCT Thank you Steve. Always hungry for more. You really keep it interesting. Your attention to the details and killer narration is something to look forward to.

@@matthewhowell1279 wow....thank you. that means a lot!!

Glad you enjoyed it

yea me too very interesting learning this stuff You have a part two coming the velvets? @@FlipSideCT

@@missmygamergirl445 Glad you enjoyed. I have been doing Stones docs as my priority. There is just so much out there on Velvetts, I do not think there is anything to expose. I made this because there was NO deep dive on Lou and why. I will say this, I experience many "haters" out there Lou vs Cale or Brian Jones vs Mick&Keith. It is a shame.

ok man good doco. @@FlipSideCT

Thank you! Cheers! glad you are a Lou fan!!!

thanks Ryan...welcome and keep it going....you should have seen PT3 posted today. talk soon

glad you gave it a watch Bo. TY.

That would do it for me also! nice! one of the best Live albums ever!

Glad you enjoyed it thanks for letting me know. Check out the others on my channel..

Thank you Ian....I figured it was a bit lengthy. Some folks say they prefer the complete footage, and others say in parts. I still have to finish the book.....this was much research and reviewing only this early time period for me, I was stuck in a loop. It took time to find the right pieces of interview footage that would make the point come clear across. thanks for your comments, steve

@@FlipSideCT Well worth the time you put into researching, Steve, and quite a lot to unravel for such a complex character!

That is great Garen.....I know you have appreciation for this topic and would enjoy it. thank you!!

thank you Nick. we love Lou!!

It had to be so annoying for Lou, but then again, he there were also times he had to unleash on idiocy! thanks!!

Many thanks!

So nice of you thanks MC.!!! sorry so late with this just saw it now.

Very welcome Michele, we appreciate those folks that turned us on, it is a nice family that dig great RnR!

LOL, oh yes, nothing like a nice opening....to grab ya! But you gotta finish it up! cheers steve

Fantastic! really appreciated you letting me know. That goes a long way for me. Check out other docs I done. thanks

Glad you stopped by. Thank you for your comments and glad this was useful for you! If you are truly related, that is cool. She must have had something to magnetize Lou, especially at Columbia in 69. She was with him in real pivotal years. Thank you for the reminder, I just ordered PERFECT DAY. Glad Bettye did write it, and glad she is doing more. I do realize Bettye is a teacher, freelance writer/editor, and theater professional. Now that you mention, I would like to interview Bettye one day! Yes, NICO is an amazing character to research and learn about. One of Warhol's Frankenstein puzzle pieces. I have a book still to read on her also...just too much! Maybe you should put together a doc on her. Then again, there is so much out there now. cheers and thanks again.

When Nico was a small girl, she watched Cologne or Berlin burn, from in the forest where she lived. Her mother and grandmother took her there to get out of the cities.

The movie Nico ‘88.

Thank you Steve....great input to hear....fuel for me!! I want to be sort of less professional and like a lecture...more human side of delivery. I have an album review coming up....and showing a few cool live albums that are fantastic. There is a lot of Velvet out there, but not a lot of Lou details. I am sure his sis was approached. I would love to see more early photos......acutally Lou's first wife has a book...which might be of interest. She and Lou were opposites, she was part of his Transformer period and prior. thanks for all, steve

Thank you WD for commenting and letting me know this.....it excites me to know how many Lou fans are out there, and I got my point across! best, steve

thank you, cool that you enjoyed this. I take a lot of pride in this. A huge challenge. But a labour of love. Hopefully you will dive into the other Docs I have done. IF a STONES fan, check out the PLAYLIST. enjoy!! I do really like The Dead, and enjoy them tremendously.....but in no way I would ever make a doc on them. Leave that to the TRUE DHead.

@@FlipSideCT I will definitely check it out. Keep on doing this if you are able! peace.

@@mikeb.7845 oh yes. thanks again!

exactly Dave....took no shit, knew what he wanted, he needed that arrogance! thank again Dave. Check out my video of the NYC library visit of Lou and his personal archives.

@@FlipSideCT What # show is that Steve? I couldn't find it.

@@DaveGoldShow #168 VINYL FINDS and Lou Reed's Personal Archives. I just watched it again....I wish I added more. I had so much info.

You and me both Victor. Thank you for the kind words and comment. You certainly picked up on my intention of this video, something different and something to walk away with learning about Lou. cheers

Coming from you I really appreciate that Kris.....and thanks for telling me, as I take pride in delivering the best I could, and accurate (found a lot of BS). I feel Lou's NYC bad boy image turns (turned) people off, so I felt this video was needed.....finding the softer side of Lou is most obvious when he met Laurie......she really mellowed him and put him place and both clicked. Lol, that is real funny meeting him, and getting the dagger stare.....I always had my speech prepared if I ever met him.....pure Guitar geek talk only. Wow, and Jonathan.....cool, I believe he is exactly how he comes across in his interviews. Approachable. I love his interview delivery where he talks about going to Boston Art Museum because that is where the Boston University ladies hung out.....with their knee high fringed boots. thanks! steve

well put , thank you! I have some more Lou coming....including Album review and a handful of cool live albums. I will mention of few studio albums to key in on. The VU is a huge difference with Lou solo, so it will be a treat. glad to hear from you! cheers steve

great to hear Chris that you are Lou fan. It is an elite club. Glad you stumbled on this doc. I was not aware of this graphic novel, but glad the history is keeping on spreading! thanks for sharing!!

@chriskaufman2262 and @flipsideCT Thank you very much for that recommendation. I'll need to buy that graphic novel. I feel I must apologise for this lengthy reply, but if you're interested in Lou, and that whole Warhol/Factory scene, I think you'll like what I have to say. and @flipsideCT you might want to read some of this stuff for future vids, especially if you're doing them about Lou and that late 60s-1980 time period in music, art and literature. Maybe I can return the favour? A book you might be interested in is called Forced Entries: The Downtown Diaries 1971-73 by Jim Carroll. It was sort of his "sequel" to The Basketball Diaries, but by this point in his life he works for Andy Warhol in the Factory and hangs around with a lot of Warhol's superstars. He was introduced to Warhol and Ginsberg probably ar9ound the time of The Basketball Diaries (defo read that book, and leave the movie alone... I mean, the movie is ok but it gets a bit too melodramatic rather than staying to the dark humour of the first one like the did with the Trainspotting movie adaption. Many celebrities names are altered in it, such as the details of his relationship with Jenny-Anne and her ex, now openly gay photographer best friend "Roger" (who was Patti Smith and Robert Maplethorpe, the famous photographer). He would hang around in Max's Kansas City where the Velvets had a residency and people from some of Reid's songs appeared in there, like Jackie Curtis. Gerry Malanga, Carroll states, hated drugs. Well, he hated heroin and didn't want anyone with a habit working in The Factory (or maybe it was all of Warhol's workshops and businesses, like the porn theatre), but he kept Carroll on providing that he wore long sleeve shirts. Burroughs and Ginsberg appear in the book too, but their names are not censored. It's a great primary source for the whole sleazy and manipulative nature of Warhol, who used people then tossed them aside, like the crusty sock most teenage boys keep in a secret place in a special drawer... or, actually, it was more disposable than that - more like a used Kleenex. Dylan also appears, as does Dali, TS Elliot, Jerry Garcia and some others. It also shows you the sleazier side to Warhol's film theatres and stuff like that, and how he treated his "Warhol Superstars" after they had lost their x-factor, looks due to drug addiction that he, Warhol, most likely, turned them on to. The book is very funny, especially some of the stories with his "painter friend" who he simply calls DMZ, but is a famous NY painter of his day called Larry Rivers (I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know who he is). Carroll and Reed became friends and I remember seeing a documentary about Lou Reed in the late 90s which features Jim Carroll, who used to run a poetry night in a church in St Marks (I'm nit sure if the church was called St Marks, but I'm sure that's a neighbourhood in Manhattan, but I could be wrong). I've never been able to find this documentary again, despite me religiously looking for a repeat (rerun, to Americans?), but I remember Jim sayin about how they were so poor in those early days. Jim's voice appears on The Velvet Underground Live at Max's when he introduces them a few times for different songs, but you can hear him ordering drinks and looking to score for Tuinals (a barbiturate sleeping pill which, like any barbiturate, is very dangerous) off Brigid Berlin. To me, that just solidifies his standing as a primary source, and, I'd argue, that he's a reliable one, despite being on all those drugs If you like Jim Carroll's diary work, and stories about his descent into her*in addiction then you should definitely check out a guy called Dennis Driscoll. He was a few years younger than Jim but was from the same part of Manhattan, Inwood (though Jim starts off in the Lower East Side at the beginning). His work is mainly spoken word which he certainly has a talent for. It's a little similar in the sense of it being about 2 teens who end up heroin addicts very early on, and them scoring and getting high in late60s/early 70s NYC. You can find his Inwood Stories here on KZfaq and would advise trying out "Denny's OD" or ""Sour Grapes" (which is such an amazing title when you know the story). Each story is brilliant, and I can't recommend it enough (especially because it's so accessible on this platform) Another great book about the Warhol scene in the early 80s, called - and I had to do a bit of research here because I've not read it in years, and it was a library book - called "With William Burroughs: A Report from the Bunker by William S Burroughs and Victor Brokris. It's a fantastic book whereby Brokris sets up a tape recorder and transcribes many dinner conversations with people like Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Warhol, Patti Smith, Susan Sontag, Joe Strummer (maybe, if memory serves me well) and, of course Lou Reid. You can see some video footage on KZfaq from one of these parties. I think Lou's writings about homosexuality was his attempt to write his own homage of Ginsberg. I've seen interviews with him admitting to being gay "sometimes", though I think he just really adored the Beat writers and wanted to be part of that movement and, with so many creative individuals who do so, he ended up starting his own, avant-garde style of experimental/prog rock, with dark subject matter (which is why I love TVU and Nico album and rank it as one of my favourites ever), ostrich tuning etc. Sorry for writing a fuckin' thesis mate, but I have epilepsy and it has the same effect on me as ADHD does - so I always intend to write a two sentence paragraph, maybe 2 paragraphs, and it ends up... well, as you can see for yourself above. Hope you have a great weekend coming up mate, and take care. Let me know if you try out any of the books or Dennis' spoken word (he has Inwood Stories and another album, but I forget the name), though it is available to read on line. Jim also has vids on KZfaq where he reads exerts from the BBDs or Forced Entries... the best one from Forced Entries which I can remember is called "A Peculiar Looking Girl" (which starts off in Max's and with a reference to a VU song).

@@raoulduke344 wow, this is a novel itself. But thank you for your sharing of your information. I appreciate and enjoy it. I do know some of these timeframes. Thanks for the book referrals.

YW, and thank you....glad you are a Lou fan. There is plenty to share with Lou, and we need to keep him going. thanks for sharing.

A pretty nice, quality framed print of that famous shot of the three of them (Iggy, Bowie and Lou Reed) together is hanging in my home. it’s kinda like my own “Big Three” moment from the Yalta Conference, or the frescoed Last Supper painted by Leonardo in the High Renaissance.

@@colinpsykes Awesome 👍

thank you, glad you searched the archives....yea, he found his true love with Laurie. She must be special. I did a video on Lou's archives in the NYC Library.....that was a blast. thanks for your support and comments! cheers steve

Headphones on 😋

a pleasure, and thanks for commenting! enjoy my others!!

Thank you James, I surely learned a few things also. I am still moving forward with more Lou stuff....as he was a one of my fav of since '75. I have about 7 Live albums to show. There was a small and very short term exhibit of Lou's in NYC Performing Arts Public Library I visited this weekend.....the great part is....Laurie Anderson put all of his Archives here for public view. I spent about 4-5 hours digging in just a few boxes, and listening to some personal tapes of his recordings....also along with John and he just noodling around. It was brilliant to hear this. I will talk more in another vid. Great that you will do something on John....it is needed. best, steve

thanks GH.....well appreciated you tuning in and letting me know. ..My Rolling Stones Black and Blue Doc Part one is out there now!

Lou is so misinterpreted and given his real credit. Hard to convince folks about him, so had to make this.

you are welcome and thank you.

you summed it up Tina....glad to have presented to someone knowledgable like you. Exactly what you said is how I want folks to gain that appreciation of Lou. Especially that he had so much to offer. I still think his NY breed turns off folks....and that is a barrier I want to break down. thanks for all, steve

Very cool Steve, really cool in-depth look into the early years of Lou - Man and think this was your best one yet Steve nice job. Were you able to go the Bridgeport Show? I missed it, had to work - anyway see you Sunday if you’re going to the NH show.

Hey Brandon....thank you. glad you dug this one. Yes went to Bridgeport....got only 1 album. seeing the same things over and over. Believe the vendors bought up many albums before it was opened. I am passing on NH. Saving for 1-2 on RSD, then for end of April....WFMU....the big one.

Thank you for the wonderful comment. I am so glad you can appreciate this, and especially Lou and Rock n Roll. That is cool also! cheers Check out my recent Part 1 Punk Documentary, and some others I did.

So sorry Christy, I JUST NOW saw your comment, and do not know how it slipped by me. Thank you so much for your comments it goes a long way for me. Yes I have considered and always wanted to do docs. It is very simple model for me.....to research and show details what others do not show. Glad you got something out of this and are into Lou more. One of a kind.

@@FlipSideCT It's great, I'm still watching. Love the stuff about his college life.

@@ComputerLunch a lot there....when he got there, that changed him forever. Syracuse does recognize him also and does have his artifacts.

@@FlipSideCT Thank you again for your research.

Smile Smile Smile....thank you Steve.....great to hear your input here.....as I mentioned to someone...it is fuel for the fire. All I can say is I learned plenty also......Mo was treated as you can expect as the "little sister" she was well protected. Lou adored Andy.....and despite the fallouts they had, Lou always spoke so highly of Andy's influence and to do what they intended to do in music, and not make any changes. There were so many tangents I could have gone into....to help people get a dose of what they "may not know"...but it would have gone for so long. Yes, that Fluxus is not for all, but so so so interesting how artists were just going out of the box. I know you get all of this, and do appreciate it all...so coming from you, I always dig it! thanks for the shining words....best Steve
