Today exactly 25 years ago Andy Warhol died due to complications from a routine hospital procedure. The prophetic pop artist who defined decades by cleverly embracing celebrity, art, commerce, branding and multi media is continuing influencing popular culture to this day. I wonder what New York would be like if he would still be alive roaming the streets with his shopping bags wearing his iconic silver wig. Here is a homage song written by Lou Reed evoking the spirit of the man himself "I'm Waiting For The Man" by the Velvet Underground. Enjoy!
«In the future, fifteen people will be famous. In fifteen minutes, everyone will be famous.» Andy Warhol
