I would let him know rock and roll was nearly destroyed by a bunch of guys who do not play instruments and instead just sample good riffs of the past aka Rap – I would let him know porn is now freely peiped into the homes of all american, aka the internet – I would let him know his stupid paintings that show little to no creativity now sell for millions – I would let him know the Earth is warming so fast I was able to wear short sleeves on Christmas Eve in Indiana and I wan not even cold – and finally I would let him know that in a turn of events there was a price set on human life, it is 2$ per gallon

Jeeeez that’s a toughy.
I don’t know. He’d like Boogie Nights.

Hm… Id tell him about grunge, and then that kinda died, and then rap and emo took over and that new music just plain sucks now… we are now breeding like rabbits, our goverment is screwed up, but maybe getting fixed. So much more to tell, really =/.

I’d give him a few records by Nirvana, Tom Waits, Dre and NWA. And I bet he’d like to discuss Eminem, as a social phenomenon. He’d probably like Sonic Youth and indie stuff. I don’t know what else. I’d like to know his thoughts about digital music lol

i’d let andy know that basqiuat passed away.

and that he should check out a band called spiritualized.

that’s all he’d need to know.

WORST…POLL…EVER

Tough topic. I’ll give it a try- I’d show Andy:

1. The internet (after seeing Youtube- he’d say,”Wow, everyone REALLY has 15 min of fame”)

2. The hole in the ground where the twin towers stood (he’d prolly want to rebuild and put another Factory on or around the grounds).

3. Any mall in NJ during X-mas time. (he’d be speechless I am sure)

4. The cellphone and the IPod.

5. Times Square, NYC. Its changed so much in 20 years Andy might think he was in Orlando, FLA.

I think I’d tell him that American Idol is the most popular show on tv, then watch as he intentionally collapses whatever wormhole brought him in there collapses, and hopefully by some stroke of luck, corrects this horrible plight and sets the world straight.

i’d give him my ipod and let him listen to the first 3 tracks off of OK computer, while we downloaded porn off of my high speed internet connection….oh, and i’d probably mention to him that whole thing about the berlin wall coming down and the soviet union no longer being in existence.

show him his paintings and ask what the fuck was wrong with him? how could he do such useless garbage?

Bowie is still the best. Go peacefully.

five greatest acheivement in the last 20 years:
1. computers (Ipods and cameras included)
2. this here internet
3. stronger antispectics and medications
4. the tech. advancements in music equipment to accomodate the DIY artist
5. Seinfeld and Arrested Development

Give Elizabeth Goodman a raise!

Oh, and Nick Rhodes divorced. Go and visit him; you still have 14 minutes!

he’s not missing nothing, it all happened back in the 1960s…

robert john was the photographer for GNR way back in the 1980s, and a ‘cowboy ghost’ with boots on and a hat appeared for his girlfriend shannon in the closet of their apartment one night at right around the time GNR officially ditched the made-up glam look for a tougher-looking cowboy boots and leather (there was alot of paranormal activity in this particular apartment building, i asked a few neighors – in fact; robert sometimes had glass shatter right in front of him for no apparent reason!? – my theory is that the old river gulch at the bottom of the road leading up into beverly hills was occasionally deluged or something, i can only guess)…

also! strangely enough; the oakland hills fire began WITH A GUST OF WIND! (see: wind spirits and/or ‘nefesh’)at the same cemetary todd crew was laid to rest, and also happened at around the same time slash was about to play in the bay area for the first time since todd’s death (todd crew was jetboy’s ex-bass player and slash’s good friend)…

I can’t see any connection between Warhol and cool,he exploited the quotidian and the banal,and got the culturati to pay him big time to do it.He didn’t even create his own works,he just signed things done by his assistants.He magnified the the banality and disconnection of modern culture.Cool is about connection and energy.Warhols thing was detached ,lifeless absraction.In the Warhol ethos,fame for it’s own sake was important , rather than fame related to accomplishment. His production facility was called the factory,and like industrial factories it stamped out souless units. Coolness is a spiritual quality related to transmitting life force.To learn about the African spiritual roots and significance of Cool read Flash of the Spirit by Robert Farris Thompson.

i would let him know

a) rock n roll is dying because of shitty rap and bubblegum fuckface pop, but if you look hard enough there are good bands out there.

b) the world is fascinated with dumbass blonde crotches (e.g. hilton, spears)

c)the computer is now the heart, lungs, and spleen of society

d) wait until you get a load of president bush

They cloned your trashy, headline-grabbing, vacuous, talentless, freak-show, partygoing arse … only they botched the gender … and now we suffer Paris Hilton.

Plus David Bowie, Crispin Glover, Jared Harris, Sean Gregory Sullivan and Guy Pearce all portrayed you in the Movies.

Cool is gone in rock n’ roll.
Warhol already surrounded himself or discovered cool in Lou Reed, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, Salvidor Dali, Basquiet,
and Nico.
Lou,Bowie, and Jagger live on so seek them and you shall find cool.
Today has nothing to offer but derivitive,plastic,and superficiality for the most part.
Cheers!
