Songs For Drella is an album by Lou Reed andJohn Cale which is framed in regret for the way Andy Warhol was treated by the members of Velvet Underground et al and a breakdown some of Andy's key life events. The album acts as a eulogy and biography and comes across as quirky but chilled out, sometimes melancholy, sometimes eneergetic and hyper in tone. I am not particularly obsessed with Andy Warhol though the album has taught me a few things about who he was and it has opened my eyes to who he was as a person. I dip into the album every now and then and like an onion I uncover new layers with every listen (I don't listen to onions though like onions this album can make me cry). For me it has become a treasure to know and in my private liking of it, something I'm lucky it exists.
