The April 1989 issue of MUSICIAN magazine featured a cover story on LOU REED and JOHN CALE, who had just reunited to perform their new tribute to ANDY WARHOL, "Songs For 'Drella" at St. Ann's in Brooklyn (though the 'Drella CD wouldn't be released until the following year).
There's an interview with Lou, who talks at length about his new LP, "New York". Then there's an article on Cale, and an interview with the two of them where they discuss "Songs For 'Drella" and ANDY WARHOL.

Here's an excerpt from "The Devil and JOE SATRIANI", where Joe talks about working with MICK JAGGER:
MUSICIAN: How different was it in Mick Jagger's band, with him calling the shots?
SATRIANI: He's really a complex musician, but a straight-ahead guy at the same time. Mick assembled the craziest bunch of players in the world. During rehearsals in New York, he would jam with us in small groups or sometimes all together. But he would often just leave us alone, and you know how musicians are: Soon there would be this big jam session going on. And he would just listen while he walked around working on the staging or lighting. He'd walk up to you while you're jamming and check out what you're doing and smile.
Then, as we started getting into the songs, he'd remind you of something that he'd heard in the middle of some tech-rap-bebop jam and say, "You can do that if you want".
MUSICIAN: Was it a blast playing those classic Stones songs?
SATRIANI: It's fantastic. It was like a rock 'n' roll dream come true. Of course it would be fun for all of us to see Keith and Mick get back together again.

Also in the issue is an article about the recent Rock'n Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony, in which THE ROLLING STONES were inducted. The story notes that Keith "wasn't exactly chummy with Jagger".
