READING 002

HIGH ON REBELLION, 
Inside the underground at Max's Kansas City
by Yvonne Sewall- Ruskin
Foreword by Lou Reed. 


"It's really gone now. The laser light that shone from the back room with all its red tables. The chick peas. The bad steak and horrible salad. Warhol, the superstars, the rock groups-to-be and not-to-be. The poets (and almost every-one was thought to be), the painters- in the front of the bar- and, toward the end, the upstairs where entertainment of a more formal nature resided- complete with a booker. The Velvet Underground played its last gasp up there." - Lou Reed
