The Beautiful&The Damned

“In retrospect and after a whole lot of living, I look upon the Factory scene like a perpetual carnival in Rio de Janeiro, beautiful girls, pretty boys, music in the air and f***ing in the streets, and every once in a while somebody runs in and kills one of the guests.”
Finkelstein later wrote: “I stayed at the Factory for close to two years. I watched pop die, I saw punk being born. I participated in a cultural revolution that shook the superstructure of our society ... I can’t really say what Warhol did to or for the rest of society, but he was my artistic messiah.”
