"What's great about this country is America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good."
— Andy Warhol
Simply one of the biggest geniuses of the twentieth century.

ReplyDeleteNot a screamo or death metal, mind you, just replace the acoustic guitar sound (or whatever he used) with an 8-string with more bass.
