Lou Reed on Evolution in 1969

'I don't believe people came from apes...I mean, I won't use the old riff about why hasn't some chimp turned into a man? You know, at the local zoo or something. But evolution is just silly, it's just one way of trying to explain unexplainables to children. I mean people keep trying to say you're evolved, but it's just that there's one level showing through one week and another level the next, you know?...'
Lou Reed (Interviewed by Ramblin' Jim Martin - Open City # 78)
Reprinted in Clinton Heylin's 'All Yesterdays' Parties' (p 110)

Quietus Mix 70: Lying Face Down On The Kitchen Floor Thinking About God

At first I thought I was going to pass out but eventually I didn’t. I was, however very light headed and disorientated and my head was bleeding. I became convinced I was dying and wondered if there was any salvation to be had from praying. I also wondered if there was any mileage in converting to another religion quickly before going through the fizzing portal. I thought I was going down a tunnel but I was merely looking into my sherry glass which was on the floor near my head. I wondered if God thought I was an idiot
