Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol (/ˈwɔːrhɒl/; born Andrew Warhola; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives. It is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist.

Warhol's art used many types of media, including hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music. He was also a pioneer in computer-generated art using Amiga computers that were introduced in 1984, two years before his death. He founded Interview magazine and was the author of numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. He managed and produced The Velvet Underground, a rock band which had a strong influence on the evolution of punk rock music. He is also notable as a gay man who lived openly as such before the gay liberation movement. His studio, The Factory, was a well known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons.

Andy Warhol (song)

"Andy Warhol" is a song written by David Bowie in 1971 for the album Hunky Dory. It is an acoustic song about one of Bowie's greatest inspirations, the American pop artist Andy Warhol.

The song starts with some studio chat where Bowie explains to producer Ken Scott, who has just been heard to mispronounce Warhol's name when introducing the take, the right way to say it. Scott solemnly reintroduces the take with the correct pronunciation. There follows several seconds of silence before Bowie asks if the tape is rolling. Upon realising they are indeed recording, Bowie bursts into laughter and begins playing.

The song is memorable for its distinctive, flamenco-sounding opening riff on the acoustic guitar, which continues through the track.

Originally the song was written for Dana Gillespie, who recorded it in 1971, but her version of the song was not released until 1973 on her album Weren't Born a Man. Both versions feature Mick Ronson on guitar.

    Trash

    by: Robyn Hitchcock

    So you're photographed with Charlie Watts
    It doesn't mean to say you're not
    Just a loser
    And you wish you could be Brian Jones
    But now he's just a heap of bones
    That's one better than you, you're a loser
    And you photograph with Iggy, too
    Cause you think it might rub off on you
    Forget it, you're a loser
    You're just trash
    You're just trash
    You're just trash
    And you're a loser
    And last time you were down the Hope
    I saw you hustling for a piece of dope
    God you're embarrassing sometimes
    You're just trash
    You're just trash
    You're just trash
    And you're a loser
    So if we should meet up some time
    Don't act like you're a friend of mine
    Put your arm round me
    I don't want to be
    A loser
