RIP Holly Woodlawn

Any fan of Lou Reed knows the name "Holly" and instantly thinks of hitchhiking, anyways the he who shaved his legs and became a she, has died.

Odd coincidence, I finally finished Dirty Blvd. last night. Andy Warhol had this to say in the chapter of the book I just happen to have been reading but paused during my reading about Lou:

Regardless, I am struck by Holly's obituary. Pronouns are weird, but when Holly was boy, her father abandoned his mom. Gender identity seems to have a correlation to the lack of a father growing up. Is there research on the matter, I don't know. It's like lefthandedness no one truly understands it.

silly me

What kind of car does the Devil drive? Kia. They sell Souls.
I know nothing about Betsey Johnson, but I now know she designed the outfits for the Warhol's house band. Obviously, I know little about John Cale. I just know he was not fond of Lou Reed for long stretches of time. I didn't know that Lou Reed was such a jerk. Probably why he struggled to acheive recognition... I mean Cher said to Sonny VU was likely to replace suicide.
J got me the Lou Reed biography Dirty Blvd from the library. She had them order it for me. I so love her. Not sure if she truly gets me sometimes, but she probably knows me better than I do half the time. Book is slow moving and truncated where it should be juicy. So much I didn't know about Lou, but I'll probably stop reading once I get to the 70s.
I'm a slow reader. I savor stuff, and I like to read multiple things at the same time. I was reading a biography on WSB for much of September. I never finished it, but left off at a good place... after Naked Lunch. I have three other books I have been re-reading. I've read all three at least twice, but I find myself finding new perspectives after each reading.
Hmmm... I guess that I'm working on a book idea, and I'm reading biographies to develop my characters or something to that effect. I really don't understand drugs and homosexuals, yet they seem to dominate the world I wanted to write.
