sterling morrison


A tribute to Sterling Morrison over the next couple of days.
Born 28th August 1942, the guitarist for Velvet Underground, when in 1968 they made their second album 'White Light White Heat'.and became the ultimate garage band.
Morrison died on 30th August 1995.
VU member John Cale praised his friend's thirst for knowledge, pride in his children and "the deeply impressive dignity he showed as he struggled" through his illness.
Cale's fondest memories of Morrison, always, will be of the Velvets, he said: "The days when we carried out our assault on teen-age sensibilities."

Now assault your sensibilities with 'White Light White Heat' from the album
