Their albums survive as caustic classics, among the most influential records ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot only did author Chris Roberts interview the late Lou Reed three times, he was also once told, \"Move - you are sitting on my coat\" by the unmistakable voice of Nico, backstage at a gig. Here he recounts and celebrates the fascinating, multi-faceted story of perhaps the most mysterious and unique rock band ever to exist.
