...bluest of blue-blooded aristocrats on Philadelphia's Main Line to the bluest of blue-collar guys in the bars of Aliquippa. It's urban; it's rural. It's the Mellon Bank; it's the United Mine Workers. It's Swarthmore; it's South Philly. It's Andy Warhol; it's Joe Paterno. In the Republic's early days, someone dubbed Pennsylvania the Keystone State because it was the place where North joined South. Today it is a psychic keystone. Pennsylvanians have supplied our money, oil, coal, steel--and now our zeitgeist...
...Andy Warhol's work continues to set art-auction records and the mystique surrounding his life grows, naturally just about everyone is clamoring for a piece of the pop-art icon's legacy.

As the band plays on a stage lined by flailing arms and hands, the camera randomly freezes the action into what resembles Warhol-esque snapshots. Yet these stills only remind the audience that The Bravery will probably never reach the epic proportions that made Elvis a legitimate subject for pop art. Interestingly, the video marks lead singer Endicott’s directorial debut. It’s all coming together now. After some...
...There's also a purely commercial value to having like-minded people mingle. The importance of "proximity" to sustaining the arts economy of New York is one of the main premises of a recent book, The Warhol Economy, by Elizabeth Currid, a young social scientist. Currid spent months interviewing people in the creative professions, with a heavy emphasis on fashion, music and other pop-oriented fields.
