Heart Full of Soul

"Sick at heart and lonely
Deep in dark despair
Thinking one thought only
"Where is she, tell me where?"

Not strictly living except in the heart of we Australians who

Double Challenge Entry ~ Influential Music/Living Poetry

The Velvet Underground’s founder and chief songwriter, Lou Reed, was an English major in college who took creative writing classes (he would later even use one of the short stories he wrote in college as the basis for an experimental Velvet’s song called “The Gift”); its name was appropriated from the cover of an obscure novel (about kinky sex); its first album featured one song dedicated to a contemporary poet and another based on a nineteenth-century novel by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch; and Sterling Morrison, its lead guitarist and another English major, would go on to earn a Ph.D. in literature from the University of Texas after the band’s demise. Indeed, as Morrison once said, “we were quite intelligent. I’m sure we were the most highly scholarshipped band in history.” from http://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet ... of-poetry/
