	roger_wilco's right. This song IS about all that went down with Warhol and his cronies. Mostly about transexuals, might I add.

	it's very dark, sleazy, and just slightly glam. Oh yes. In spite of what others may say, Lou invented glam

	This song somehow managed to recieve airplay as DJ's weren't hip enough to realise what 'giving head' meant. Ah, well. Anyway, great song with an interesting subject matter.

No Picture nick Professional	#6 by nick Sutliff at Sep 7, 2007 at 5:10 AM EST
	the last verse is great. probably because my name is jackie, and im a huge james dean fan. i just thought it was ironic that both of us were in the same verse! :)
