The Velvet Underground: A Memoir of a Time

Lou Reid left the Velvet Underground last year. He hadn't told any of the band members that he was quitting, and they only found out when his parents came to pick him up. Doug Yule hated the final mix of Loaded - which was done by Steve Cessnick who ignored his input. The final Velvet Underground album, Squeeze, is a Doug Yule solo album with Yule playing everything except the drums,. Ian Pace of Deep Purple, and a little bit of saxophone. David Bowie inspired by the idea that a fake rocker could be a real one in Ziggy Stardust.
