"Don't pay any focus on what they reveal you. Just evaluate it in inches." - Andy Warhol "In the foreseeable future, everyone will be well-known for a quarter-hour." - Andy Warhol A whole lot of printer ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most important statistics, but how a lot of the forest is lost for the trees and shrubs? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get swept up on the lives of America's most significant men and women in enough time it takes to finish a commute. Plus they can do it while learning interesting facts long overlooked or never known. Few designers of the 20th century were as enigmatic as Andy Warhol, who once remarked, "If you wish to know about Andy Warhol, just go through the surface of my paintings and movies and me, there I am. There is nothing behind it." This statement is barely out of figure for the famous musician, who remains well-known for his cagey answers to interviews and his refusal to speak from the center. It really is no incident that Warhol used a wig; paradoxically enough, he required the business of others but refused to allow himself to be emotionally close with anyone. If anything, Warhol's general population persona appeared to be structured around an apparent lack of personality. Yet he later observed, "At the times in my life when I was sense the most gregarious and looking for bosom friendships, I couldn't find any takers so that exactly when I was only was when I felt the most like not being only. As soon as I chosen I'd rather be alone and not have anyone informing me their problems, every person I'd never even seen before in my life started jogging after me to inform me things I'd just chosen I didn't think it was smart to hear about."
