Lol! I'm so proud! I love it when I say clever things and then have them acknowledged as clever by others.
DUUUDE, I was watching the Doors movie LAST NIGHT! And thinking how much Andy Warhol creeped me out in that movie, licking his lips at Jim and acting all creepy. That's what I was thinking of, partially, when I made that comment, so it's quite a coincidence. Plus, I saw this PBS special on him. I was thinking before, because of the voice and face and also the creepiness, that Andy Warhol was played by Fisher Stevens, but I am proven incorrect. He is creepy. He was Creepy Thin Man in Charlie's Angels.
No, I don't think I've had an icon of Edie yet. Maybe I should. She was kinda pretty. Sienna Miller looks a lot like her in Factory Girl, but it's still not quite the same.
"For over 20 years Nico had been an on-and-off (though mostly on) heroin addict. In his book Nico-Songs They Never Played on the Radio, James Young, a member of her band in the 80's, recalls many examples of Nico's almost fiendish behaviour due to her addiction. Ironically, just before her death, she had managed to kick the habit and had embarked on a regime of exercise and healthy eating.
On July 18, 1988, Nico was injured riding her bicycle while vacationing with her son, Ari, in her favorite haunt of previous years, Ibiza. Supposedly she had a minor heart attack while riding her bicycle and hit her head as she fell. Found unconscious by a passersby, she was admitted to a local hospital, and x-rays revealed severe bleeding in her brain; she died several hours later."
He made it seem to be okay with being a druggie, and superficial, and doing avant garde things that didn't last and essentially wasted money, like setting 100 silver pillow - shaped balloons loose. I mean, he became very popular in that time and then a lot of people got into some of the same stuff, so I guess it's not really his fault. I guess in a time of extravagance and experimentation without fear of repurcussions or apprehension, he was the perfect poster child to the social movement of counterculture. Don't get me wrong; I love hippies and I love a lot of what the whole Summer of Love/Hippie/Counterculture thing stood for, but not the promiscuous sex, drugs, and disregard of hygiene. Good music came from the time, though, along with openness, freedom, etc.
But, I will agree with that last comment. It is very cool.
