Nico would have been 80 today. These are from my V.U. box set, 'Peel Slowly And See', one of my prized possessions. My take from all of this...don't do heroin! photo credits (not necessarilyin order😏): Lisa Law, Suzane Cooper Archives, Billy Name, Gerard Malanga Archives, Polygram Archives bill/poster: Sterling Morrison Archives photographed by ON LOCATION STUDIOS, INC. Instagram's edit does not do these photographs justice. I highly recommend getting the box set, yourself, and immersing yourself in one of the most influential American bands, ever. *** #80thanniversaryofnicosbirth #ripnico #dontdoheroin #happy80thbirthdaynico #thevelvetundergroundandnico #nico #lastnameunnecessary #surnameunnecessary #noneedforsurname #noneedforlastname #thevelvetunderground #vu #boxset #peelslowlyandsee #prizedpossession 🍌 Edit: ***This fucking app!
