I've tried to work out Warhol
what was in his muddled mind
Neon psychobabble
from the rude to the refined
Faces radiating,
all intent and all aglow
Ghastly colours clashing -
not quite Rembrandt or Rousseau
I like to view my idols
in the way the Lord intended
Not skin of blue and hair of green
Some may feel quite offended
Oh, how he took the famous
faces of the silver screen
And brought them out uniquely
for his final act or scene
Historic buildings captured,
wild bristles are a woven
He tells his tale so vibrantly
'bout Einstein and Beethoven
And did you know he took bright hues
and very coarsely painted
our Majesty the Queen on high -
Philip nearly fainted!
Colours bursting everywhere
his senses in a spin
Just opened up a cupboard -
and the subject lay within
Bananas, ice cream, lobster -
tins of Campbell soup
Was inspiration overdrive -
a goody-foody scoop!
Sam the cat, pandas, pigs -
there's very little cuter
Or easier when he soon learned
his way round a computer!!
Now art is something you nor I
may never know at all
But a 'famous' oxidation stain
that's running down your wall?
I really think that art is sometimes
held in high contempt
And opinions clash forever
no true artist is exempt...but
Who am I to judge at all,
or drink from the same cup?
May not be 15 minutes
but I think my time is up.
So please enjoy the song below
from my heroine - Ms. Harry
In tribute here to Andy
for a lifetime quite contrary

Your Mag is thoroughly entertaining... impressive too.
you covered a lot of ground on andy...there will always be those willing to argue with what is art...i think the greater skill lies in those willing to challenge our comfort zones...
that's how it's done...I always did wonder if 15 minutes wasn't a bit too much....
Peace ☮
I loved your third verse in particular! LOL. Thanks :)
Now, how about turning off the two word verification gremlin for us busy commenting bloggers? :)
Excellent take! LOL
But could you take the time to turn off the double word thing as Jinksy asked? So many bloggers don't realise they still have it in place, simply through not understanding how easy it is to remove.
very entertaining, I enjoyed it immensely.
Great blend of words and music again!
it is all art.....thanks for sharing your words...nicely done
Brilliantly done! :o)
Thoroughly enjoyed that. I agree there's space for all kinds of art and expression, and maybe I have no right to comment, but I've often wondered if Mr. W somehow overstayed his 15 minutes.
oh that Warhol...only you, and Miss Harry could reveal him so.
He did make a success story out of the mundane.

Loved it! I love Debby Harry too!
Oh, very nice! Love the Beethoven rhyme! And great song too!
I'd forgoten about those 15 minutes!
