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.
