Sterling Morrison is a very much under-rated, undervalued and unsung legend, so often relegated to being merely viewed as secondary to
Lou Reed and
John Cale, when in fact so much of the beauty of
the Velvet Underground's sound is because of Sterling's simple, mellifluous
guitar parts.
Galaxie 500 wrote a song in tribute to Sterling's post-VU life as a restorer of tugboats, titled (oddly enough) "Tugboat", which appeared on their first 7".
