Lou Reed answered the first question years ago as to why Yule sang Candy Says: “I was working with Doug's innocence ... I'm sure he never understood a word of what he was singing. He doesn't know what it's about I mean, I thought it was so cute. I adore people who are like that, they're so cute" I think he (Reed) said something similar about New Age (from Loaded), which Yule also sang.
This is a great interview, thanks for the post. I have been a fan since '84 (I was 17) and I think Doug is really talented, it's great to hear his point of view...... or should I say, VU?
When he refers to "that show in Seattle" is he talking about Terrastock IV in 2000? I saw him and Moe Tucker then. Moe sent me a Christmas card that year.
I love his voice on sweet nothing

Never knew it's him not Lou singing 'OH Sweet Nuthin' . Kudos.
He also plays bass and the guitar solos on that one
