I'm new to the forum, talk to me babies

Cool. Rock and roll.

guess it depends on how you look at you.
one might refer to you as vintage, or antiqued, in the nicest way possible of course.

Does it make me old that I didn't have to go to a museum, but just a record store, to peel the velvet Warhol banana?

No. Yes. Maybe.

Let me reframe that: Maybe. Yes. No.

As a sidebar, Horsebucket rocks, dude.

Read it with my little girl today; inspirational for her. She loves it. Thanks for turning my family on to such an amazing piece...

As for John Daniels, he has been a bud for a long time. Roni, no offense meant, but he works well with sticky fingers, bananas, and the Rolling Stones. Hell, just about any R&R for that matter, including my first eight-track tape ever purchased: Deep Purple/Machine Head.

Now, I'm dating myself; but wtf, just ask my wife, it's Saturday night (lol)...

I saw Nico play Dingwalls in London in 85; a restrained performance, at best. But that banana record (which I was only old enough to discover ten years too late) certainly modeled my perception.

Loli: the VU-reference/Warhol-reference by hooch has a background:

the first edition of that cover had a banana you REALLY could peel - and the inside of a banana behind it.

Ahh. I should have known that... kind of like the original Sticky Fingers by the Stones, with the zipper you could actually unzip.

... John Daniels, he has been a bud for a long time. Roni, no offense meant ...

No offence taken. I was just quoting from 'Scent of a woman'.

The Banana Is In My Soup Can

"If I was half the man...I'd take a flame thrower to this place..."

Another great line from the movie.

And as far as andy w goes (jumping back on topic somewhat), the greatest art marketer who ever lived. His house on the water in Montauk (East Hampton) was breathtaking. Lotsa Soup Cans sold to buy that bad boy...

But I still prefer Jackson Pollock "” and his grave at Green River cemetery. Very cool, if you dig burial sites... Lotsa funky peeps buried there: writers, artists, etc. Including Lee Krasner.

little tidbit that you probably already know about Pollock's headstone: he had a large pile that he collected, I think for possible stone carvings. Lee Krasner picked a small boulder to serve as headstone.
the stone in the pic you posted is actually the second one. the first one was smaller, and Lee thought a larger one would be more appropriate. the present larger stone is not, I don't think, from the farm.
