In 1968 I [Mickey Kaus] got the Velvet Underground to play at a mandatory student assembly at my high school in Beverly Hills, California.
quote:
In order to get the assembly approved by the school authorities I had to write up a little page-long pitch, which if I remember right described their songs as the “expression of apocalyptic nihilism.” It must be hilarious now. I should try to find it. For some reason, they approved the assembly, after the Velvets’ manager Stephen Sesnick assured the Girls’ Vice Principal that there were no drug references in any of their songs.
quote:
Why did they do it? My impression was that Sesnick wanted to connect with “the kids.”... Years later, I’m told, Lou Reed denied this event ever happened.
