Perhaps you have heard the frequently repeated journalistic cliche about the Velvet Underground: That their first LP sold only 5,000 copies, but that everybody who bought one of those then went out and started a band of their own.
I submit that this is not quite true. To me, it seems far more likely that indeed, 2,500 of them did start their own bands - but the other 2,500 bought typewriters instead of guitars, and started careers as rock critics, because they couldn't understand why this slurred, droning, willfully primitive band of NYC conceptual artists hadn't immediately displaced the Beatles as the greatest of all rock bands, they absolutely had to correct this injustice and, no matter how long it took, had to start drumming the V.U.'s transcendent greatness into the rest of the world until musical history had been rewritten.
I just couldn't resist. I think this guy knocks it outta da park.
What park? Central? Certainly not a ballpark.
