Michael Bonner 16 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Some of you might have gathered what was afoot from my none-too-subtle Playlist post last week, but here's the first official look at our next cover: The Velvet Underground.

JAMIE WARDE ALDAM 0 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hi Michael, so impressed with your VU cover issue, especially the inspired idea of commissioning Jonathan Richman to write his piece. Just fabulous, save for one thing. On the inset where he's discussing John Cale's avant approach to tones (Terry Riley and LaMonte Young are pictured here), Jonathan runs out of panel space. A small arrow indicates that it carries on (overleaf perhaps?) but I couldn't find it anywhere... Any chance we can see what else he wrote? I was just beginning to get my head around it! Another small gripe is that maybe you should have published the lyrics to JR's VELVET UNDERGROUND, from I, Jonathan, possibly the most eloquent and perceptive tribute to the essence of the VU. Like most things he writes and sings about, he nails it totally! Thanks so much, I love your mag - Jamie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAMIE WARDE ALDAM 0 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Oops, sorry - I read it again in my reading glasses (I was wearing my driving ones when I read it first) and of course, the piece is complete. Many apologies, Mr Magoo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
