Dave Robicheaux Begs to Differ with Andy Warhol


Andy Warhol was dead wrong when he said every American is allowed fifteen minutes of fame.  Fame comes to very few, and when it does, it takes on the properties of a narcotic and puts into abeyance our fears about our own mortality.  Anyone who acquires a drug that potent does not give it up easily.
--James Lee Burke, Swan Peak (2008)
