1) Great band.
2) Contrary to popular belief (as helped by Brian from
Family Guy), the term "velvet underground" does not necessarily mean "vagina." In fact, it
may come to a shock to most
people that it is slang for the subculture of sadomasochism. That's right, the whole time you've been listening to the band you've actually been subconsciously supporting an underground S&M club.
