Back to the Matrix Tapes -- it's funny how, in one take of "I'm Waiting for The Man," Lou clarifies: "...that's Puerto Rican!" (after the line "He's wearing Dior shoes, and a big straw hat").

I think he sings "PR shoes," hence his elucidation of the acronym
ty VU scholars for explaining SterMo vs. Lou guitar parts!

the "Legendary Amp Tapes" should shine some light on what Lou plays

studio 'what goes on' has the best rhythm guitar of all time. also i think lou and sterling recorded takes of the solo bit in there and decided they liked how they sounded all layered on one another. i could have made that up but it makes sense

xpostApparently the official lyrics (© EMI Music Publishing) have it as "Beat up shoes"(!?)

I found a few other ppl online saying they always thought it was "Dior shoes" (like me), but apparently we are in the extreme minority.

Really ? I thought I heard it as PR shoes and finally had it clarified in a VU companion book after years of wondering what it was.Some type of special point to the shoe or something from what I remember.

it's definitely p.r. shoes, lou said on several occasions, and that's what's printed in his lyrics collection.
xxxp - i think it's all just Lou on the WGO solo — he took three stabs at overdubbing it and then they decided to mix 'em all together to get that fuzzed out bagpipe sound.

Well, pardon me (SUH) -- I just listened back to the original album track (the one I've been listening to since I was 15)... and I agree it is, very clearly, "PR shoes"!
Here's a gtr question -- on that album track, is it Lou playing rhythm & Sterl playing lead?
