This photo was taken by Dennis Hopper.

"Andy Warhol may have become a household name as he wanted to, he may have appeared on the TV show The Love Boat, and he may have hobnobbed with fancy folk as well as being a lighting rod for the underground. He may have made movies and written books, he may have been the force behind the magazine Interview, but first and foremost, he was an artist. It was all part of his art. Warhol was an artist who changed American culture. It will never look the same now that we have seen it through his eyes. Part of what he did was to re-present it in a way that seemed real to him. This is the point of art - to capture things as they are in their essence, and also to describe the world. Warhol described America in particular - and the paintbrush was just one of the tools with which he captured and changed our culture" (Ingrid Sischy, Interview 1996).

Dennis Hopper, actor, director, and artist, began making paintings and assemblages in the mid-1950s. In the early 1960's, Hopper was influenced by art world friends including California artists, Edward Kienholz, and Bruce Connor. It was at this time he began making photographs of likes of Timothy Leary, Martin Luther King, and Andy Warhol. "Hopper's photographs from the 1960's so often convey a 'right in the middle' point of view, close up to their subjects, obliquely angled, zooming in not on a 'subject' but on a series of moments. Some of these moments are posed, even staged, others are fleeting and candid; some of these images are of people, others are of places, still others of situations and events, and still others of pure images formed in quotidian reality and framed by the camera eye into abstraction and/or the ground-zero semiotic encouraged, even dictated, by the Pop sensibility. Many of Hopper's photographs have a 'painterliness' to them that bespeaks his roots in Abstract Expressionism.

And what connects Nico,Morrisey and Alain Delon?

Alain Delon

Nico and little Ari.

The only song I have heard of Morrisey's in his solon career is You Have Killed Me, but I find it pretty boring.

I never got to see the Smiths, so it's great listening to all of the Smiths stuff when the Mozzer plays live.
