UNDERSTANDS ME WHEN I'M FALLING DOWN

Name me a musical archeological dig that was ever more fruitful than the Velvet Underground's VU.

A dozen years after their implosion it was both an illustration of their enduring brilliance and a demonstration of how thoroughly Lou Reed could lose the essential plot.

For evidence, look no further than the VU version of She's My Best Friend and the solo version that showed up on Sally Can't Dance.

One will make you weep, and the other will make you cry...
