is it any wonder there’s squalor in the sun

This was my favorite song for years and rightly so. When I used to DJ in the dirty basement of a bar, playing hits for my friends, this was my most requested song, before we’d sneak off to fix in the bathroom.

(Roky Erickson also covers this and it is AMAZING.)

While I was looking around, I also came across this other gem of a live VU set and the way Nico’s voice reverberates and her stare and stance is all very very cool (for lack of a better description, I could really watch her live for hours). I would have posted it also but the dude disabled that for some reason. Anyway, watch that too and track down the other songs from this set.
