deadpan Andy Warhol
As best as I can remember, it was Christmas day, 1980 or '81. I was riding around Manhattan with my cousin Joe and my cousin Bob. We were looking for an open liquor store, and it was about ten o'clock in the morning.
We had been heading uptown for quite a while and we'd had absolutely no luck, so we turned left on a block heading across town, preparing to head back to my mom's place where we were having some sort of family brunch.
As we came toward a stop light at the end of the block, we saw an old white-haired woman in a full-length winter coat walking a dog. I said “Look at that woman –from the back she looks just like Andy Warhol!”
As the car came to a stop, we were right beside her, and she must've felt our stares because she slowly turned around and gave us this cold classic deadpan stare ...and it really was Andy Warhol. We all burst out laughing, the light turned green, and we headed back downtown.
