Andy Warhol

[Hadda "Bad" Day]

I am reading a biography about his demise and his estate, called "Death and Destruction". In this book, the author talks a lot about the "Andy Wahol Diaries", has anyone read this?

[Jill The Destroyer]

I have. Although I'm a huge Warhol fan, I wouldn't suggest reading it. It literally is a dairy, and just explains what he did on a day to day basis. It's funny, as it's very Warhol, and very dry. Sometimes he just puts "took a cab ride $4" and that would be his entry for the day.

It's one of those books that you can't read the whole way through, and I for one thought it would be much more interesting. There are some neat stories about him hanging out with celebs, but they are few and far between.

I suggest, "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol". That's written by him as well, but far more interesting.

No, didn't, but did you read Up-tight? Bio about Velvet Underground?

[Andy Seven]

I have. He had some pretty funny remarks about Frank Zappa and the way he treated his kids. The funny thing about "The Andy Warhol Diaries" is that he breaks out of his numb shell and shows an angry and bitchy side to his personality.

You''re not missing anything. Hundreds upon hundreds of pages worth of lame name dropping. *yawn*
