I happened to see that a couple weeks ago was the 56th anniversary of the bizarre shooting of Andy Warhol. On June 3rd, 1968, Valerie Solanas calmly walked into Warhol’s art studio, shot him and another man and then just walked away. She was later arrested and it ended up becoming the subject matter for a full length motion picture.
This started me reading some online articles on Andy Warhol and below are a half a dozen Andy Warhol links including a story by Yours Fooly who had a six degrees of separation Andy Warhol moment in New York City.
And of course there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions for next week’s shenanigans on the blog.
