what does /mu/ think about nico's solo work?
>Nico was described by some friends and colleagues as racist. Her friend Danny Fields, the American journalist who helped her sign to Elektra Records, described her as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Nico, I'm Jewish,' and she was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' She had a definite Nordic Aryan streak, [the belief] that she was physically, spiritually and creatively superior", a view she appears to have continued to maintain throughout her later years. According to Fields, Nico once attacked a mixed-race woman in a restaurant with a smashed wineglass, saying "I hate black people". During a performance in Berlin, the audience rioted after Nico performed the German national anthem "Deutschlandlied", including a verse omitted since 1945 for its nationalist associations.

sounds like my type of gril

yes, it's quite common for /mu/ to like sub-par artists simply because of the edgy opinions they hold
I think it's great.
Lately I'm listening to Desertshore and The End a lot.

>You will never be pegged by Nico while she wears her Nazi uniform
It's just not right.
>[the belief] that she was physically, spiritually and creatively superior

In terms of both consistency and quality, Nico probably had the best solo career out of all Velvet Underground members, though her best works aren't at the same level as the best works of Cale and Reed

Only if Lou Reed's best work has been lost forever (and you were lucky enough to hear it) and by the best works of Cale you mean The Marble Index and Desertshore.

Nico is pretty good

we all have to die, pal.

I think Desertshore is better than anything VU or any of the other members ever did.
