Former members of the Velvet Underground met at the New York Public Library on Dec. 8 for a question and answer session. In the 60's VU experienced little commercial success and usually had to play for meals. During the Q&A the group talks about some of their first gigs at high schools and art galleries. Lou Reed talks about Maureen Tucker's essential primitive drumming style and their "guard dog" Andy Warhol who made sure that the music never steered away from what it was naturally.
