Why do people think artists are special? It's just another job

Two amazing bands with tributes to Warhol.

In these two music video creations you get to witness some of warhols most popular works along with great music. Music changes the way people look at things, it can open your eyes to things you might not have noticed before.






Edward Smith: Why is it more of a pleasure to do 30 or 40 pictures than to do just one?
Andy Warhol: Then I can, uh, listen to my soundabout which looks just like the thing that I'm wearing now, and you can listen to opera and stuff like that.
Edward Smith: Does that mean you don't have to think when you're painting?
Andy Warhol: No, you can listen to really good music.
Edward Smith: So, what, painting is an excuse to listen to really good music?
Andy Warhol: Oh, yeah.
