Why does bob dylan hates andy warhol

It is believed that the film implies that the singer was indirectly responsible for her suicide. Dylan has written to the producers of Factory Girl, demanding that the film not be released until he has determined whether or not it defames him.

The picture is due to open on a limited release in the US on December Sedgwick befriended Dylan in the lates and the pair are believed to have had an affair. Andy Warhol is widely considered to be one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.

From creating iconic album art for artists like The Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin , to seeing artists like David Bowie and Lou Reed writing music directly inspired by him, Warhol and his work have pervaded the world of music.

The cover art is so iconic that to this day, people who worked with Warhol still debate over whose crotch is in the photo. Before Warhol became an international phenomenon, he was an artist looking for work. Warhol was commissioned before and after his rise to fame to create album cover art.

Warhol was famous for depicting celebrities in his work, and one of his more famous pieces, Double Elvis , was a dual image of Presley himself. But since its release, fans have speculated whether or not the song refers to an apparent love triangle between Dylan, Warhol and actress Edie Sedgwick. Loathed it. There was a dynamic underneath the meeting, something was definitely happening Right after Andy came in she more or less turned around and said goodbye.

She and Dylan left together and got into his car. Andy showed no sign of reaction to this. He just said something like 'Edie's on the road down, I wonder who the next girl will be' After we left the Kettle of Fish we walked up to Cornelia Street. I showed Andy the spot where Freddie Herko had jumped out of the window and he said, 'I wonder if Edie will commit suicide. I hope she lets me know so I can film it.

Although Warhol's description of the visit in Popism included Brian Jones among Dylan's entourage, Jones is not mentioned in accounts written by other people who were at the Factory at the time.

It was also in February that Edie made her final break with the Warhol crowd. According to many accounts, the break-up occurred at the Ginger Man restaurant, although Gerard Malanga has identified it as Maxwell's Plum restaurant.

She had none to speak of, except for a modest monthly allowance from her parents, which was quickly spent on lavish dinners, usually at her favourite restaurant L'Avventura She was not footing the bill to this banquet And Andy wasn't paying her for the films she'd appeared in; but, then, Andy was having troubles of his own.

He wasn't making any real money from the films because they weren't paying for themselves. He was subsidizing the films with income earned from the sale of his paintings and he wasn't about to have his artwork subsidize more than that Andy's interests were also beginning to drift. He started, at about this time, seriously catering to the Velvet Underground and to Nico While he was trying to figure a way of fitting Edie into the scheme of things, she perceived that in no way could she contribute actively in this collaboration that left little for her to do, much less lose the spotlight She had other options in the works.

Bob Dylan's manager at the time, Al Grossman, had taken an interest in her, or so it seemed. He convinced her, according to Edie, to cut a demo I discovered that it never materialized Edie, as talented as she was, had no voice. Although Lupe is often credited as the last film that Andy Warhol made with Edie Sedgwick, the truth is that he would later film her one last time for a film that has never shown publicly and exists only through the anecdotal comments of the people involved.

I really hated Andy by then. I realized his was a passive exploitation - that it could be humiliating and horrible. He had been asking me to do this for a long time and I had refused.

But one night I took an Obetrol - a very powerful twenty five milligram amphetamine pill, the best. They were very hard to get, rare and very good. That night we were making this Tiger Morse movie, part of a twenty-four hour four-star movie in which I was supposed to be an extra. Well, the pill got me hysterical and I was amazingly good at it.

Andy fell in love with me for it. Once again he said, 'Oh, you're so good tonight; let's do that movie I've wanted you to do. I said, 'Okay, let's go to my place and do it. When we all got to the apartment, Andy asked, 'Who do you want in the film with you? Who else is there in your life but Edie Sedgwick? I took another pill and I got wired. There's a point when you take speed when you talk a lot, and yet there's also a point where you take too much and you don't talk. That's the point that second pill got me to.

So Andy got Edie on the telephone and offered to pay for her taxi, and about three hours later Edie turned up. I didn't want to make the movie when I saw her. She was wearing a dirty blond fall. She looked like the cheapest piece of filth. Here was my Edie, my Edie, and I was making a movie with her - co-stars!

No longer was I an extra, and she looked like hell! She was wearing a kind of Marimekko type dress, and mean! She, too, hated Andy at that point: she had been eighty-sixed.

When she was with the fairies, she was on speed and she was Edie, she was 'on'. In the film, Edie has a passionate, yet brief affair with Billy Quinn. The relationship doesn't last but Billy helps Edie gain confidence and stand up to Andy Warhol, who she believes is not treating her with the respect or financial compensation that she deserves. The movie just covers the tip of the iceberg, and motivated me to learn more details about Edie and Dylan's relationship.

Obviously, the movie distorted and rearranged some facts to suit its purpose, but it turns out that the huge fact that was left out was that Bob Dylan's friend and road manager, Bobby Neuwirth, was really the one that had a long, passionate affair with Edie.

Edie maintained a friendship with the two Bobs as she got involved with Andy Warhol and his films between March and Feb. Many believe that Edie had a crush on Dylan, and may have had a brief affair with him.

She seemed to hope that their relationship would grow while working on a movie together, which is why she was so devastated when she apparently found out from Warhol during an argument at the Gingerman Restaurant in February a scene portrayed in "Factory Girl" that Dylan had secretly gotten married to Sara in November As a token of gratitude for doing the Screen Test, Warhol gave Dylan a gift of his silver Elvis painting.

She finally did in early Warhol's scorn turned up in a few films which included a satire of a harmonica-playing Dylan lookalike in "More Milk Yvette" , a spoof called the "Bob Dylan Story" , and the repeated playing of a Dylan song at the wrong speed in "Imitation of Christ"
