The new Velvet Underground documentary

I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes with half the screen filled with Lou Reed staring into the camera. I thought that went on way too long.

Garbage….The Velvet Underground Doc…could have at least tried to keep the viewers attention for even 5 min

I fell asleep a few times but turned it off when they got to San Francisco not sure if it was 1st or 2nd time cause I fell asleep more than once…gave it an honest effort…hope that was worth something for my effort anyhow…would have loved it to have been presented in a more interesting way

Just finished watching it…so sad… although I knew about his early years in Toronto’s Yorkville

Speaking of The Mynah Birds they played in Yorkville at a club with the same name who had believe it or not a NAKED CHEF that’s also the same place Mr. Submarine started before they opened their own sandwich shop also in Yorkville in 1968

While the world around it has changed dramatically, The Rainbow Bar and Grill has remianed as one of the last bastions of true Rock n' Roll on Hollywood's famed Sunset Strip. Legendary musicians recount their stories from the iconic venue.
