Ukukhumbula igig ye-1994 apho uLou Reed wavula khona malunga noAndy Warhol, iVelvet Underground kunye nokunye.

Njengombhali weendaba zomculo, ndibe nethamsanqa ngokwaneleyo udliwano-ndlebe noLou Reed amaxesha ambalwa. Kodwa eyona nto ikhumbulekayo yayiyigigi ka-1994 apho wavula khona malunga noAndy Warhol, iVelvet Underground kunye nokunye. Yayingamava amangalisayo ukumva ethetha ngokuphandle kangaka ngomsebenzi nobomi bakhe.

U-Lou Reed, owayeza kuba neminyaka engama-77 ebhiyozela namhlanje, wayengumculi ophikisanayo kunye nokujongana. Umsebenzi wakhe obalaseleyo wawusoloko udityaniswa kukungakulungeli ukulalanisa kwaye, kuReed, yayiluphawu lokuqaqamba kwakhe nombono. Omnye umntu owayengenakuze ame endleleni yaloo mbono, ngokuqinisekileyo, yayinguAndy Warhol. Ngexesha le-gig ye-1994, u-Lou Reed wavula malunga negcisa le-pop elisebenza njengohlobo lomvelisi we-pseudo kwiirekhodi zeVelvet Underground.

Ikhutshwe kwi-2017, i-albhamu ithatha umsebenzi onqabileyo nguLou Reed kunye noKris Kristofferson. Njengoko Amatye agiqekayo ibonisa, abaculi badibana kwiklabhu yaseNew York i-Bottom Line ngoFebruwari 1994 kwaye baxoxa ngokubhalwa kweengoma kunye nembali yabo kunye nomsasazi werediyo uVin Scelsa-incoko yayiza kugubungela izihloko ezininzi.

UReed uvula malunga nabanye amaqabane akhe eVelvet Underground kunye nomhlobo wakhe, uWarhol, kunye namanyathelo abanzi awathathayo ngexesha lenkqubo yokubhala. UReed wayedume ngokungaze ame ngxi kwiprojekthi, wayedla ngokushiya iingoma kunye neechorasi zingagqitywanga ngelixa ekhwela ngomsindo kuloliwe olandelayo wengcinga. Yayiyindlela yokubhala eyayimenza ahluke kwabanye oogxa bakhe. Yayiyinto awayiphuhlisayo ngelixa esebenza njengombhali wangaphakathi wePickwick Record ngaphambi kokujoyina iVelvet Underground. UReed wakhumbula: Besiya kubhala nantoni na eyayidumile ngelo xesha, njengamacwecwe okufa okanye iialbham zokusefa. Besingavele sibhale iingoma ezili-10, ezili-12 zokusefa kwaye sizirekhode malunga neyure okanye ezimbini kwaye sithi singamaNuts eSurf okanye iBeach Bums okanye enye into kwaye baya kuyithengisa eWoolworth kumgqomo we-99-cent.

Ethetha ngebhendi yakhe ye-iconic, iVelvet Underground, wanika inkcazo encinci ehlekisayo. Badlalwe yindibaniselwano ethile yabantu, kodwa… bebenokudlalwa ngabanye. Wenza, nangona kunjalo, uboleka ngakumbi i-gravitas kwi-mercurial Andy Warhol owayehlala ehlala kwiseshoni yokurekhoda yebhendi.

UReed wongeze: Ngaxa lithile injineli yayinokuthi, malunga nento esiyenzileyo, ‘Mnu. Warhol, ngaba kulungile?’ Yaye wayedla ngokuthi, ‘Owu, intle loo nto.’ Yaye ngenxa yoko, saba nenkululeko epheleleyo, kuba akukho mntu wayenokutshintsha nantoni na kuba uAndy esithi inkulu.

U-Kris Kristofferson unikezele ngezakhono zokubhala iingoma eziphuhlisiwe zikaReed: Wafunda indlela yokubhala eyona migca ingalibalekiyo ekubhaleni iingoma, wathi, eqaqambisa umgca 'kuStrawman,' ingoma ephuma kwi-Reed's 1989 LP New York. Yeyona nto ndiza kuya engcwabeni ngayo ndinolo mfanekiso engqondweni yam: ‘Ngaba ukho umntu osafuna omnye umpolitiki obanjwe nebhulukhwe yakhe phantsi nemali incamathele kumngxuma wakhe?’ Yinto angazange ayifunde eTin Pan Alley.

Kwikonsathi ka-1994, uReed naye wacula ingoma ethi 'Sweet Jane,' 'Romeo Had Juliet,' 'Legendary Hearts' kunye neqweqwe lengoma kaSmokey Robinson ethi 'Tracks of My Tears,' ngelixa uKristofferson ethatha 'Mna noBobby McGee,' 'ngeCawa kusasa. Ukuhla,' 'Ndincede Ndiyenze Ebusuku' kunye neqweqwe eliqaqambileyo likaLeonard Cohen elithi 'Bird on a Wire,' phakathi kwabanye.

Bona umfanekiso, ngezantsi.
