John Cale aged well that dude is like 80 or 90 now and he stills looks ok

[@TheMLMGold]

He's 81

[@killingmodern]

90 lmao

[@TheMLMGold]

Awesome, his spoken word goes really well over the background music of What Goes On at the beginning.

[@ForARide]

Very insightful interview, thx for.uploading.

[@leahflower9924]

I love Nico

[@DfactorPop]

Is this from the Todd Haynes rockdoc? I still have not seen that, that's why I'm askin'...

[@TLSongsss]

No it isn’t. This is from a documentary called Lou Reed Rock And Roll Heart. Except this video just has various clips mashed together.

Who are the two on the left in the thumbnail

[@kjcs_1896]

Gerard Malanga and Mary Worunov (might have spelt the last name wrong), some of Warhol's superstars. In the Exploding Plastic Inevitable shows with Andy, these two would dance along to the Velvets.

@@kjcs_1896 oh wow I should've known Gerard at least lol

[@kjcs_1896]

@@barstow_ Yeah, they were a fixture of those shows. In fact, I think the audience focused more on them than the band itself.

Disliked ‘authority’

[@cafeAmericano]

Nico was a goddess. Lou got butthurt about her being in the band because he didn't like anyone who was on his level and above to challenge him. She was a good focal point. He was a pockmarked bitter little bastard. The only person who recognized her abilities was John Cale who produced several albums with her afterward. It's really disheartening to see how nonchalant they were about her.
