The Velvet Underground got their name from a book by William Burroughs. His
writings also spawned the term Heavy Metal, and Steely Dan. He has
also recorded poetry on albums with Laurie Anderson and John Giorno.
His stuff is not for little kids, it's pretty upsetting and disgusting.
Just right for rock and roll.
