Poor woman. She's most likely touring in support of her literally brilliant "The Drama of Exile" album here -- an album on which she wrote EVERY song (save for 2 amazing covers) and all she gets is being peppered with questions about things from decades ago, non stop.

Poor Nico, died so young. She wanted to be clean and had been living a healthy lifestyle months before she had a stroke while riding a bike that led to her death. Such an irony.

I love Nico's contribution to music. You do not have to necessarily belt it out like Aretha(who I also love) to be an effective singer (and by effective I mean the ability to make the listener feel emotion).

Nico was an amazing singer. She may not have had a wide vocal range but her voice was very commanding and unique and full of emotion. That matters more to me than being technically brilliant (that's not to say I don't love singers like Aretha btw).

Nico Beautiful,mysterious. eerie unearthly,lost,esoteric. The sort of woman that would send me in to a feverish passion which would be like a terrifying dream or a glorious nighmare . even after years of drug abuse she is still a hauntingly beautiful. woman.

This can only happen to the deepest most sensitive, artistic and intelligent beings; painfully fragile to the effects of the insensitivity of others. That's where the 'scary' look comes from- it takes years and masses of sensitivity and personality to come close to understanding. Most, never will- in a way they're lucky. Drugs are the symptom not the cause, in her case. Poor girl- I wish she'd lived long enough to have a better chance at happiness. I hope she's in peace now

One of a kind she was, rest in peace dear Nico

She's humouring the interviewer big time. The Velvets weren't kicked out of The Cafe Bizarre 'cause people couldn't dance to them, but rather 'cause they were too loud & cacophonous. It was a Folk club. Moe Tucker could only play tambourine! Nico's having a laugh.

I keep looking at her. She's so beautiful and I feel so sad watching her...a very tragic person.

No, she's not saying that. She's saying, "stop looking at me like an object and listen to my music."

The guy is asking some really inane questions, he must be kicking himself now.

When she says "my only regret is being born a woman instead of a man", I don't see this like sarcasm. In fact, for me, it's very serious. Every woman in the world already have think the same thing once in life, because born a woman in a world like this is a very sad thing sometimes. Nico knew this sad-side very well.

Not sure, but I think this interview was recorded in the Warehouse Club in 1982, when I was also in a band. When you're on stage, it can be disorientating...so you pick out three people to sing to...1 to the left; 1 in the centre; 1 on the right. I was the guy on the left.

Isn't this 82 at the Preston Warehouse gig UK?

I'm just watching this as part of my research prior to watching Nico, 1988. Did anyone else notice how he first asks if she's harassed by questions about the Velvet Underground and, regardless of her response, continues to "go on about it".

Listen carefully to the background. "Back of Love" by Echo and the Bunnymen.

That's why everyone starts smoking these days! But you have to admitt, as bad as it is, some people give off a strange charisma by how they do it. Unfortunately, when you're watching your friend smoke it's not as interesting as say, watching your idol - if you're not famous or admired there's no point!

That is a phenomenon with which I’m very familiar. One day you wake up and realize that you’re not the sexy Byronic junkie-you have Keith Richards’ ugliest vices, without any of his genius or stature. Likewise with Bowie-you’re not the Thin White Duke, you’re just a coke head who gets as high, but you do so much less with the inspiration and energy.
