Good for him. However, I NEVER liked his work. And I didn't like Norman Mailer either (he used Warhol's Marilyn on the eponymous book jacket cover). Perhaps I am too much of a feminist?

The Velvet Underground was popular in my most active years (my early 20's). I still recall a weird dude in a record shop asking me if the album he was holding included "Heroin", he did not know the name of the song but chanted the refrain about "waiting for my man" and I knew which one he meant. I have several Velvet Underground songs on my hard drive and on the flash drive I use in my car.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-81642502372925233762015-12-03T19:48:25.583-05:002015-12-03T19:48:25.583-05:00I am so pleased.

I can't say I loved Andy Warhol either; but he did have an impact on the culture, and we do remember him ... and, sure, he was over the top sometimes, but he wasn't a bad guy.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-38108471665384965962015-12-03T07:08:36.519-05:002015-12-03T07:08:36.519-05:00Frankly, I was never that enamored with him or his...Frankly, I was never that enamored with him or his creations during his lifetime. I did find reading about his life as you wrote it here to be interesting. I grudgingly recognize some of his talents especially in light of his life challenges. joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-59092852669837432432015-12-02T19:40:29.211-05:002015-12-02T19:40:29.211-05:00I knew who he was when you started talking about h...I knew who he was when you started talking about his artistic renderings of usual objects. I didn't know he was so young when he died. Of course, as I get older, "young" becomes a moving target. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-75997082090212793492015-12-02T15:52:36.523-05:002015-12-02T15:52:36.523-05:00I understand and appreciate his work, but I don...I understand and appreciate his work, but I don't love it.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-35528156904742384992015-12-02T15:02:33.363-05:002015-12-02T15:02:33.363-05:00I must have been living under a rock because I mis...I must have been living under a rock because I missed this one entirely.
