Andy Warhol's 80th

It was Andy Warhol's 80th birthday this month!
Or at least it would have been his 80th birthday had he enjoyed going to see a doctor when he was ill.
I like to think that he would have loved what the world has become in the last twenty one years, sitting in his makeshift "Factory" watching Big Brother Live and cursing Simon Cowell while watching American Idol on his LCD television, taking polaroids of every contestant.
Later he would probably continue working on his single huge monochrome screenprint of Paris Hilton as he has done for the last three years then spend the rest of the night sitting at his telephone wondering why Lou Reed hasn't called since 1993.

Oh Andy, how could you?
