Remembering Andy Warhol: 1931 - 1987
Twenty years ago today, I was at a Julian Cope show at Club Lingerie in Hollywood when Copey announced from the stage between songs, "I just thought of something: Andy Warhol's dead." I was bootlegging the show so I have that on tape if I am ever asked to prove it. Andy died on the operating table in the midst of a surgery to correct complications from having been shot by an obsessed fan years earlier. Andy Warhol was one of the most original and visionary modern artists ever. I still miss him.
