Lou Reed: "...The Beatles Were Garbage."

Talk of The Beatles begins at 3:24.

A newly unearthed interview with Lou Reed reveals The Velvet Underground leader’s thoughts on The Beatles , and they were not kind.

“I never liked the Beatles,” Reed said. “I thought they were garbage. If you say, ‘Who did you like?’ I liked nobody.”

The comments date back to a 1987 interview Reed did with journalist Joe Smith. PBS uncovered the interview and animated it for the latest installment of its Blank on Blank series.
