The Velvet Forum

How poetic was that thread title?! Shoulda been on Growing Up In Public or The Raven, right?

Here is a scan of Lou and UNCUT magazine editor Allan Jones. (Sorry if it's fuzzy - I blew it up from a 1.5" x 1.5" pic) "He'd just played a brilliant show, as he kept reminding anyone who'd listen. "Am I not the King of Flash?" he kept repeating. It would have been impolite to disagree."

Thanks for the rags, Gav!

mjg... this thread is fabulous. I fear I have little to contribute, but just wanted to let you know your efforts are appreciated.

Bleach, those are both great! I swear, you have found some unique stuff over the years. Here is one of 'em. A letter from Barbara Falk:






Funny, I was just reading about this point in time in Bockris's biog on Lou. At this point, Lou was going nuts about not having money, and the Katz brothers (Dennis & Steve) were always the targets of his speed-fueled paranoia.

This is the kind of thread I love!
Here's my contribution hoping it'll bring out more.
