And I literally went into a band rehearsal the next day, put the album down and said, 'We're going to learn this song. It was serious and dangerous and I loved it. You like weird stuff, so maybe you'll enjoy it.' I played it and it was like 'Ah, this is the future of music!' I was in awe. My friend gave it to me and he said, 'This is crap. There's a white label on it, and it says 'Warhol.' He signed it.
It hadn't got a company or anything at the time. Maybe you can take it back to England and see if you can get any interest over there.' And it was still the vinyl test pressing. A friend of mine came over to the states to do some work with Andy Warhol at The Factory, and as he was leaving, Andy said, 'Oh, I just made this album with some people.
This song was a big influence on David Bowie, who explained to Performing Songwriter magazine in 2003: "I actually played 'Waiting for the Man' in Britain with my band before the album was even released in America.
