You're right -- what a great guitar intro on the live 'Sweet Jane'. One of the best. And the rest of the song ain't bad either.

LOL -- but "Conservative slant"?? Yeah, the song is probably about either trannys OR drugs -- you can't listen to closely to his words because you'd vomit, but that's a typical Lou Reed song, isn't it?

Since I'm reading responses at random, this might be out of chron (but my guess is you won't care).

I suggest you listen to the ORIGINAL version (get Fully Loaded, which has the uncensored trannie-with-an-under-age-syringe version); have the barf bag ready, and take notes.

Report back, after hospital stay.

Oh, yeah. The guitars on the Animal "Sweet Jane" are--how shall I phrase it?--

Overwrought.

I read a biography of Andy Warhol recently ("Holy Terror", by Bob Colcacello) and learned how all the characters in "Walk on the Wild Side" were real people in the Warhol Factory. Candy (Darling) really did come from out on the (Long) island, etc. I just thought they were characters for the song!
