velvet underground researchers have apparently confirmed that this audio from a random youtube user is genuinely the long-lost july '67 performance from upbeat, a cleveland teen tv show, doing the unreleased "guess i'm falling in love" complete with screaming girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2U...

Found another bit of synchronicity - annoyingly *after* writing that piece: Lou Reed in 1986 interview with Bill Flanagan talking about his 'My Friend George':
"When I'm writing I make up a person who's like a composite of 8 people [...] There is no George [...] It's just a combination of things"
Sadly, I don't think so. At least I wasn't able to find one.
