Talk:New Age (The Velvet Underground song)

message: I removed a statetment in the article that stated this song is considered the first use of the term "New Age"   in pop culture.  Without getting into what Velvet Underground meant when they used that term, it's clear they were not the first to use it in modern times.   Refer to New Age for many historical references pre-dating this use.  Parzival418 05:26, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Serious "citation needed" for the Kim Novak reference.  I've been a Velvets fan for a long time, and have never heard this before.  Kim Novak was hardly fat in 1969/1970.  I always thought the "fat blond actress" mentioned would be Shelley Winters, especially with the following reference to Robert Mitchum (think Night of the Hunter.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leamanc (talk • contribs) 14:43, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kim Novak? 

message: I did some research and found out that it was originally Shelly Albin, Lou Reed's girlfriend at the time.  Considering that Shelley Winters has the same name, was a less-than-thin blonde actress, and starred in a movie with Robert Mitchum, I believe that this justifies changing the citation to Shelley Winters.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.141.161 (talk) 07:30, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kim Novak? 

message: The claim that this song is a sarcastic tribute to Shelley Winters has a citation, but the link doesn't work. I did a search and all I see are dubious sources - discussion forums, blogs, etc. No quote from Lou Reed, or anything like that. Just a lot of people who think of themselves as mind readers, and who think a song has to be about one specific person and that's it.
Picasso said, "Art is the lie that tells the truth." It doesn't matter which actress was the initial inspiration for the song, it has a broader application than that.
Also, even if the inspiration for the song was Shelley Winters, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a "sarcastic" tribute. That sounds to me like a 14-year-old boy's interpretation. Shelley Winters got old and fat, therefore if anyone wrote a song about her, they must have meant it as a joke, har har.
Is it so inconceivable that Reed could have empathized with a lonely, imperfect human being and written a song that tells a story about her? Doesn't the guy who wrote "Candy Says" deserve a little more credit than that? --Rosekelleher (talk) 19:32, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Is this song really piano rock? I find it has more elements of Alternative Rock, Progressive Rock, or just Rock in general. Did whoever call it piano rock only do so because of the keyboard intro? Because after that there is almost no piano or keyboard. Just wondering if anyone agrees to change it to Alternative or something. Ka5hmir 20:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Piano rock? 

message: The piano opening is similar to Philip Glass' "Truman Sleeps" from The Truman Show, not sure if a source could be found for that observation.  Maybe it's just the broken chords.

Talk:Alan Hudson

message: It was stated that a spiral of decline began after the sale of key players.
This isn't really accurate. Several players were sold but they were deemed past their peak.
Bobby Tambling was no longer a key player by the time he left Chelsea he did not feature much in the 1970 and 1971 cup victory campaigns. The problem was the later signings Ian Hutchinson, Bill Garner and Chris Garland proved to be inadaquate replacements. In Hutchinson's case as he was injured for a considerable time.
Tommy Baldwin was suffering from liver disease as a result of alcholism.
Charlie Cooke moved down to a lower division with Crystal Palace before returning after the sale of Hudson. He was replaced by Steve Kember, who arrived from the same club, in a more holding role. Kember at £175,000 was the 4th most expensive player in England when he signed for Chelsea in 1971.
Marvin Hinton had lost his first team place before the 1970 cup final but remained a squad player for many years after. Like wise John Dempsey who played in the FA cup and Cup Winner's cup final remained at the club for a considerable time.
When Eddie McCreadie retired, no left back was signed to relace him, Ron Harris moved to left back and Gary Locke proved to be an excellent right back until hit by injury.
Hudson himself was sold for £240,000 and was replaced by David Hay from Celtic for a club record of £225,000.
It was only after this that Chelsea found themselves lacking quality players in key positions and lacking the money to address the problem.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.179.216 (talk) 17:19, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
