why wy?

Gee Wy, did we miss something here? I don't recall such profundity being dug out of cardboard boxes and placed on display. In fact, all I remember is a rather tedious assortment of cutesy junk that did little more than remind us that Andy Warhol was most alive (read: relevant) in the 60's and 70's and today, in more ways than one, is rather dead.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to Mr. Warhola for the Velvet Underground, the sensational stories about his Factory days and a 15-minute short featuring just one waist-up shot of a guy getting a head job (boring, but I liked the concept, it HAD a concept).

But this Time Capsule exhibition was a waste of twelve bucks, time and petrol. And the pompous art-school dropout reviewing it seems gripped in such over-arching terror of the modern canon that he can't call it for what it was - random garbage collected by a famous person. Instead he's busy trying to imbue the pap with some deeper, more esoteric meaning that is inherently elitist and designed to cow the average shmoe into paying good money to nod sagely at this rubbish.

Mr. Nelson, how about perversely planting a Kiss squarely on my ass?
