One rides the rodeo and is popular with the ten gallon girls. The other's wife has married a midget's son.

Which obscure Velvet Underground Bill do you prefer?

If it's Bills we're comparing, NEITHER one! I choose the Bill from "The Gift", the one who seduces Marcia. ("He was like an octopus: Hands all over the place!")

"She needed him, he wasn't there."

"awwww"

both of these songs are weak. I guess I pick the Lonesome one.

"And after a while, I wanted to."

I'd have to say FB, but Shakey's right, both are minor entries.

"Ferryboat Bill" is good, but they shouldn't have had that lame "doo-dn-doo-doo" part in there. The Godz would never have done that.

Lonesome Cowboy Bill is the best Grateful Dead song the VU ever did.

"That schmuck!" said Sheila.

"Ferryboat Bill" is not a minor entry! It's great from start to finish!

"causing little rhythmic arcs of red to pulsate gently in the morning sun"
