Andy Warhol, Pusherman

Time for another excerpt from The Andy Warhol Diaries. Jade is the daughter of Bianca and Mick Jagger. Sunday, January 8, 1978 I read The New York Times at Halston’s, he was at the office. Someone called Bianca and she was on the phone for an hour talking about her problems… she was talking about […]

Andy Warhol, Movie Critic

Another excerpt from the Andy Warhol Diaries. The other person in “we” is Bianca Jagger: Tuesday, January 3, 1978 We cabbed up to 86th Street ($2.75) and we finally hit Saturday Night Fever at the right time and were able to get in. Well, the movie was just great. That bridge thing was the best […]

I Shot Andy Warhol

The “I” in that movie title was Valerie Solanis Solanas, who appears nine years later in this excerpt from The Andy Warhol Diaries: Friday, July 8, 1977 By the way, Valerie has been seen hanging around the Village and last week when I was cruising there with Victor, I was scared I’d run into her […]

Andy Warhol, Silver Screen

A short entry from the Andy Warhol diaries: Friday, April 8, 1977 Went with Jed to see Sissy Spacek in Carrie (cab $2.50, tickets $3). Loved it. Finally somebody did slow motion right.

Kindness and Wonder Sources

My publishers informed me that there wasn’t room in the printed version of Kindness and Wonder for a detailed set of endnotes; happily, the Internet had a spare terabyte or two. If you’re looking for the source of various quotations in the book, you’ve come to the right place. (I have profound respect and gratitude […]

Another excerpt from the Andy Warhol Diaries.  Monday, May 29, 1978 We walked over to have lunch at One Fifth, and on the way we saw Patti Smith in a bowler hat buying food for her cat. I invited her thinking she’d say no, but she said, “Great.” When we walked in, there was […]

Requiescat in Pace

Two excerpts from The Andy Warhol Diaries: one about Elaine Kaufman, who died a few days ago, and one about John Lennon, who died thirty years ago. Sunday, April 10, 1977 Andrea [Portago] said she was out with Dennis Hopper and they went up to Elaine’s and she started playing backgammon with Elaine and she […]

Ten Years After

Another excerpt from the Andy Warhol Diaries.  Friday, June 2, 1978 Robert Kennedy, Jr. was on TV for the tenth anniversary of when his father was shot, so it’s ten years since I was shot, too–he was the day after me.

R.I.P. Dennis Hopper, 1936-2010

I was lucky enough to talk with Dennis Hopper once. I was writing a short piece for the short-lived Rolling Stone “Cool Issue” about his book of photographs, 1712 North Crescent Heights. (Now out of print, the book is available on Amazon for prices starting at $580. Damn, maybe I should sell my copy.) We […]

Andy Take a Little Snooze

Just a note to say that I’m currently juggling five different projects (all of which I will let you know about as they come to fruition, of course), so posting here will be less frequent for the next month or so; my apologies. A quick pair of excerpts from The Andy Warhol Diaries: Thursday, February […]
