This is one of the best interviews I've seen of Lou Reed. Very warm and funny and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!!

[@tryharder75]

Agree! And I've been scouring :) The interviewer commands respect, they must already know each other I've never seen Lou so respectful without Laurie sitting next to him

[@jorgencarlsson3944]

Interviewer:"Are you jewish?"
Lou: "I never answer personal questions"
................................................
"but I am" LOL hahaha

[@Overlorddz]

She's a Jew herself. I belief she is one of the handful of Jewish children who survived the Amsterdam holocaust by being smuggled out of the station.

[@timide4645]

Vital cultural artifact, this! 😮❤😊

[@user-yz9kz6vt9y]

I would think that the name of the band, "The Velvet Underground" came from Poe's short story "The Mask of the Red Death."

[@JamesMrInch-gs1dm]

I believe it taken from Michael Leighs 1963 book of the same name I have never read it but I think it about sado masochism.

[@davegentry-pu9xm]

2:50 "But I'm sure you could tell me." I think that went over her head and everybody else in the audience. LMAO! 😂

Mercury in aquarius, cannot help from letting out important details and clues as to whether it's sarcastic or literal , profane = Think for yourself!

[@canyonmasterson6655]

they always find the worst people to interview him

[@ultra100able]

I cannot watch 1 min of American tv , but this interview flys by .

[@jackmiller3257]

Modern interviewing sucks, Dick Cavett is a great old school American interviews from 70s I’d recommend highly if you like this laid back style.

[@rexfreeman4981]

Good interview, shame about the song. Sounded like a rocky horror outtake.
