Just Like Sister Ray Said

My drive home from college is around 17 and a half minutes long down a very boring 2-lane highway on which you can cruise just about as fast as you want to (granted that you don't hit a furry animal on the way). 17:30 is just about how long "Sister Ray" is, a song which I've felt ruined the Velvet's second album. I hated "Sister Ray"... what a bitch. I'd often listen to White Light/White Heat minus "Sister Ray" and the still-obnoxious "The Gift" and considered the Velvet's second album a very nice EP.
But wow. Tonight I drove home, blasting "Sister Ray" at 90 MPH and felt possessed. I was loving it... really into it, you know? Doing the hole head-bobbing thing, tapping my fingers, toes, and other various body parts.I can't imagine why I would do such a thing to such a terrible song. After all, "Sister Ray" is almost totally improvised (terribly), has the simplest beat to it, and is smeared with repetitive lines like "too busy sucking on a ding-dong". No reason I would like such a song. But I did, and I felt like everyone should know that.
