Remembering Andy Warhol: 1928 – 1987

Andy Warhol Self Portrait Photo

I recall that on that day, 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.

I still miss him.
