Rock and roll is still a music of young people. Many older rock fans are pretending to be adolescent when they are in reality becoming decrepit.

I feel that Cale is important, but the two albums Yule made with Reed's VU are absolutely gorgeous affairs. His voice was striking. However he always seems to be forgotten - he was not part of the 90's European reunion, and I think he was also left out of The Rock Hall of Fame ceremony. Glad he was there, even if only addressed twice. I am thrilled to see Yule get some recognition.

And anyone who goes to reunion concerts deserves whatever they get. I am not sure I would call the VU “punk rock.” And anyone who goes to reunion concerts deserves whatever they get.
