    John was an angry drunk. Once, Lou had seen him pick up a shot glass and smash a girl’s teeth in. Later that night, she had come back to fuck him, her words gluggy with blood and painkillers. And in some corner of his brain, Lou had always connected sex with violence when it came to John Cale.

    "John had a composition once which involved taking everybody out into the woods and having them follow the wind. As of late though we play indoors so we have to be the weather." — Lou Reed

    "I was thinking one time about creating weather by using music...I'd like to have a tape that would create a 75-degree temperatures. Over a period of days you could play a tape that would regulate the heat around you. The kind of heat that it would give off would be in some cases like summer or autumn." — John Cale
