Art world links which caught my eye...
Songs for Drella is a 1990 album by former Velvet Underground bandmates Lou Reed and John Cale. In it they tell the life story of their mentor, artist Andy Warhol. This live performance of "Style It Takes" describes Warhol finding patrons for some of his most famous experimental art and films.
You've got the money, I've got the time
You want your freedom, your freedom mine
'Cause I've got the style it takes
And money is all that it takes
You've got connections and I've got the art
You like my attention and I like your looks
And I have the style it takes
And you know the people it takes
Why don't you sit right over there
We'll do a movie portrait
I'll turn the camera on, and I won't even be there
A portrait that moves, you look great, I think
I'll put the Empire State Building on your wall
For 24 hours glowing on your wall
Watch the sun rise above it in your room
Wallpaper art, a great view
I've got a brillo box and I say it's art
It's the same one you can buy at any supermarket
'Cause I've got the style it takes
And you've got the people it takes
This is a rock group called the Velvet Underground
I show movies on them, do you like their sound
'Cause they have a style that grates
And I have art to make
Let's do a movie here next week
We don't have sound, but you're so great you don't have to speak
You've got the style it takes kiss
You've got the style it takes eat
You've got the style it takes couch
You've got the style it takes kiss
