Coincidentally, I've been thinking about Warhol, and how I think I've probably never given him enough credit, ever since reading this quote from The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again

"What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same thing as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see coca-cola, and you 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. Liz Taylor knows it, The President knows it, and you know it.

In Europe the royalty and the aristocracy used to eat a lot better than the peasants-they weren't eating the same things at all. It was either partridge or porridge, and each class stuck to its own food. But when Queen Elizabeth came here and President Eisenhower bought her a hot dog I'm sure he felt confident that she couldn't have had delivered to Buckingham palace a better hot dog than the one he bought her for maybe twenty cents at the ballpark. Because there is no better hot dog than a ballpark hot dog. Not for a dollar, not for ten dollars, not for a hundred thousand dollars could she get a better hot dog. She could get one for twenty cents and so could anybody else."

Brilliant? Maybe, maybe not. But there's definitely something more than met my eye.
