How did the late Hy Weiss get a songwriting credit on the Velvet Underground song "Foggy Notion"? Although the song is very Lou Reed-sounding, it is the only song in the entire Velvets' catalog that doesn't credit Lou Reed as sole songwriter or co-songwriter. [more inside]

I've been trying to find a particular version of Lou Reed's "Take a Walk on the Wild Side". I believe it was from a movie and may have been sung by a drunk person doing karaoke. [more inside]

A friend of mine had on his wall a picture of Lou Reed, Salman Rushdie and John McEnroe - which I think he got out of Vanity Fair magazine. I've dug through archives (and googled etc.) but am at a loss. Has anyone seen this pic? p.s. is this an appropriate Askmefi question?

Where can I find a copy of Lou Reed's video for "No Money Down?" It's the one where halfway through the video, Lou turns out to be a robot and starts tearing himself apart. Freaked me out as a kid, and I'd love to see it again, in whatever format might be available. [more inside]

Based on this post in The Blue, I'm looking for CD recommendations on the late 70's New York CBGB's sound. I'm familiar with Lou Reed, The New York Dolls, The Velvet Underground, Television and (pre-disco) Blondie. Oh, and I'm a huge Talking Heads fan. Any suggestions?
