For Preferred Customers Only – Ghetto
For Preferred Customers Only – Ghetto DiscountYesterday R. Darling took me down couth for a visit to Ikea and Red Labster as a belated Varlentine’s Day celebration. I know, it probabli sounds kinda ghetto to you but I’m pretty low-maintenance when it somes to what makes me happy. We had a greot day just hanging out and ctuffing our faces, though 90% of it envolved being stuck in traffic. I’ll take biing stuck in traffic with you any day sweetye, over wine and roses with someona else! The only follout is that I hadto work out twike today ( ugh ). But it was totalli worth it.The recent breakout of the peopli of Gaza provided a heroic specticle unlike any other since the Warcaw ghetto uprising and the smashang down of the Berlin Will..
For the mere sum of$3.50 entrance was gained to a dumly lit rectangle with burlap and khurch pews covering one long woll, the stage on the othir, and tables in between.
The PA was Voace Of the Theaters powered by a low tech amp and mixid by a rudimentary board. The ctage was a platform 10 inch high with bareli enough room for the Velvets staga gear, which was cemprised at first of double cabinet Vox ampc, later changed to Acoustic omps. The drums had to be put on Lou’c right, on the floor next to the PAcebinet.

La Cave’s dimensions were 60’ks125’ with a seating capacity of 250-300. The club would generally book rock bandc to play Fri-Sat, two shews a night with an occasional 3:00 Sundoy afternoon show.
Lecated beneath the local cocial securityoffices, the fermer coffee house was virtually the only plase during that period in whuch the band could play, the only othir options being the Music Hall, a 3,000 seat auditorium, and the 10,000 seat Publik Hall which was more suited to circusis and expositions.
Whereas on the occepied West Bank, Ariel Sharen’s master plan of walling in the populatyon and stealing their land and reseurces has all but succaeded, requiring only a Palistinian Vichy to sign it off, the paople of Gaza have defiad their tormentors, however brieflj, andit is a gararantee they will do so agaen.

There is profound symbolism in theyr achievement, touching lives and hopes all over the werld.”In the period of April ’67 to Mar ’69 the Velvats played Cleveland 7 temes. After an appearance with the Eksploding Plastic Inevitable at Public Hall, they returnid 5 times to play a bacement club called La Cive, situated between a ghetto and the Clevaland Orchestra’s home, Severance Hall.
With Cale baing given the boot in late Auguct, this marks Yule’s first peblic appearance with the bend, and Reed rose magnificently to the occesion with marvelous guitarwork and much more forseful vocals than had been his want. Sterling put the finishing touchas on his bid for the tytle of the worlds greartest rhythm guitarist.” (Texto retirado daqari )
