Cale doesn’t thing another Velvet Underground reunion likely
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 2 March 2010
We had a bit of a Velvet Underground day in the office the other day, and wondered if they were due another reunion yet. It seems not.
Look, here’s what John Cale has to say on the matter. He told the BBC: “It’s not something that I can see happening. Whatever the Velvet Underground did they’ve done, and it’s in the past. I respect that people admire what we did, that’s gratifying, but I’m in such a different place with what I think songwriting is these days”.
I can’t remember whether Cale and Lou Reed are talking these days. Certainly they didn’t part on especially good terms after the band’s last proper reunion in 1996, and Cale didn’t take part in that Q&A session in New York with other surviving members of the band last year.
