Сотню раз за сегодня послушала песню Velvet Underground "Candy Says".

This song is dedicated to Candy Darling, a famous Warhol-superstar. She was born as James Lawrence Slattery, but as her mother said: "I knew then... that I couldn't stop Jimmy. Candy was just too beautiful and talented." Candy was growning up in a violent alcoholic's family in Massapequa Park, Long Island, spending her time watching US television and old Hollywood movies, from which she learned to impersonate her favorite actresses, such as Joan Bennett and Kim Novak.



And this part is about her too:

Candy came from out on the island
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin
But she never lost her head, even while she was giving head.
She said hey baby, take a walk on the wildside.

Эта песня посвящена Кэнди Дарлин, знаменитой протеже Энди Уорхола. Она родилась Джеймсом Стюартом Слэттери, но, как говорила ее мать: "Я занла тогда, что невозможно остановить Джимми. Кэнди была просто очень красивой и очень талантливой". Кэнди росла в семье склонного к насилию алкоголика на Лонгайленде, проводя время за просмотром телека и старых голливудских картин. Так она научилась подражать любимым актрисам, вроде Джоан Беннет и Ким Новак.
