Nico
Icon of doom.I just finished this memoir by James Young recounting his time as a keyboard player in Nico's band for some tours in the late 80's.
Nico was the forerunner of the spectacular burn-outs of our time.
Dylan, Warhol, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, and others--fell under her spell, and used her for inspiration to further their careers.
Unlike Hendrix, Joplin, and Jim Morrison, Nico actually endured into middle age--but it was not a pretty sight.
She died riding her bicycle on the island of Ibiza.
Her only friend: the end.
