John Cale - If You Were Still Around
A year to the day after Lou
Reed's death, John Cale issued a re-recorded
version of 'If You Were Still Around', a song
originally released on the 1982 LP 'Music For
A New Society'. The accompanying video is a
moving salute to Reed and other fallen
comrades from the Velvet Underground era,
including Andy Warhol, Sterling Morrison and Nico, and finds Cale himself literally raging
against the dying of the light. Stay tuned until the
very end of the clip and watch as he staggers out of shot,
emotionally spent.
