Indeed, Warhol really did seem to be before his time–the cult of celebrity he celebrated and encouraged among those at the Factory would be perfectly of a piece with today’s pseudo-celeb culture. Heidi & Spencer, Paris & Nicole, Kate & Jon Gosselin, and Octomom all seem like living, breathing Warholian fantasy. And you’re right on the nose with Warhol’s pithiness and Twitter posts. He essentially lived and spoke in sound bites.

Oh, Warhol–if only you were still here to revel in what has come to pass.
