Also, I have never read before of the dispute about who found the original book where the band took their name from. It's being widely documented since forever that it was Maclise who bought it down Times Square's subway for next to nothing, so I don't know where the story about Tony Conrad finding it on the street has come from. Another interesting thing about the name and the book is that one night, after Cale had left the band, Reed went to talk to a young girl who was working at the box office before the Velvets were about to play. Before he walked into the venue, she said something to him along the lines of: ''Hey! nice name for your band. My father wrote the book you took it from''. Small world.
