Lou Reed on Evolution in 1969

'I don't believe people came from apes...I mean, I won't use the old riff about why hasn't some chimp turned into a man? You know, at the local zoo or something. But evolution is just silly, it's just one way of trying to explain unexplainables to children. I mean people keep trying to say you're evolved, but it's just that there's one level showing through one week and another level the next, you know?...'
Lou Reed (Interviewed by Ramblin' Jim Martin - Open City # 78)
Reprinted in Clinton Heylin's 'All Yesterdays' Parties' (p 110)
Hmmm!
