   My son, the musician, is getting into the Velvet Underground, which means I get to hear the Velvet Underground again with him, with a fresh perspective. It's good to get that feeling a second time in life.

     @jamesmarshall what *doesn't* he play? Guitar, drums, bass, and he's started singing, too.

     I love that quote about how “only 100 people bought the original pressing of Velvet Underground's album. And every one of them started a famous band.”

     Maybe your child will start a famous band, too?

     Also, if you don't know it already, Lou Reed's 1989 comeback album, _New York_ encapsulates the broken politics of the 1980s (that brought us to the even more broken ones od today) perfectly musically.
