    I thought Velvet Underground were one of the most influential bands that stalked the earth , they were so ahead of their time , to think they started in 1967 whilst others where singing fluffy pop songs , Loaded for me is probably the best album I've ever heard .


    And hey the Welshman John Cale was a the forefront of this astonishing sound ,born in Garnant in the Amman Valley.

    Go on for those who have not heard it delights give it a go :

    He certainly had an odd upbringing , undergoing electric shock treatment to cure him of his alleged homosexuality

    And a life of booze and drugs

    Reed may have married a transgender woman who he then dumped because she wanted her bits done to complete transition.

    The book is ‘Notes from the Underground’ from a bloke Souness.

    Deplatforming words they are if we are going by today’s standards and cannot accept them for the context of their times.

    The accusation relates to him calling Bob Dylan ”a kyke” and Donna Summer “a ******”.

    As for “...and the coloured girls go...” I’m assuming ‘China Girl’ by Bowie and ‘Brown Sugar’ by the Stones has now upset someone, somewhere?

    Ironically, Blue Mink's 'Melting Pot' song that lauds a multi-cultural future where all races and colours are fused together was banned last year from the Gold (radio station) playlist as it includes references to yellow "Chinkies”, “Red Indian boy”, “curly Latin kinkies” and “coffee-coloured people”.

    By the way, Herbie Flowers played bass on both 'Melting Pot' and 'A Walk On The Wild Side'

    I'm a big fan of Reed's music, and have read a few biographies. Sadly, none of them paint a very good picture. It seems he was quite an unpleasant person.
