Apparently even Andy Warhol eventually got tired of his breathtakingly prescient statement, “In the future, everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes.” In 1979, in Andy Warhol’s Exposures, he said, “I’m bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is, ‘In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.’”
The twenty-first is shaping up to be Warhol’s century, just as the twentieth century was Freud’s. And sometimes it seems like every publishing house and TV production company is hell-bent on making Warhol’s wildest dreams come true, just for the sake of it.
