Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Can
A Critique
Perhaps I am ignorant of how modern art works. Or just perhaps not interpreting the work of Andy Warhol correctly. But I have never understood why his painting of soup cans was so significant. And I am sure the person that created the designs for Campbells was no more impressed.

No Shelter by Rage Against the Machine
Did Rage Against the Machine own a time machine in the 1990s? I’m not saying they did, but it’s sometimes too hard to listen to their 1998 single, No Shelter, and wonder if they hadn’t just arrived back from the 2020s. Prolific lyrics or time travel. Guess we’ll never know.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

lol - yeah Andy really got away with something here
I know nothing about nothing here. I don't even know what I don't know. Lol. Well written review!
That makes two of us. I have never really understood why people love his work so much. Well, I guess, knowing the right folks may help. LOL!
I understand that it's commentary, but once the comment's been made, do I really want to pay millions of dollars just to be able to say that I got it (which I'm thinking, by definition, means that I didn't but rather serve as the butt of the joke).
I still like his work, but I understand that it has been commodified and commercialized to such a point that it is hard to see how radical it was to point such a mundane product. Thank you for this take.
