Sorry to go all Weakpedia on you; but I made a mistake in the "Celebrity" posting.
I attributed the quote, "In the future, everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes", to Newton Minnow. Actually, that was one of many noteworthy musings by Andy Warhol.
In 1961, upon being appointed Federal Communications Commission Chairman, Newton gave a speech. It contained an equally profound and prophetic quote: "Television is a vast wasteland". There were only three broadcast channels at that time.
After all these years, these statements still ring true.My, how far we've come.
Thanks for reading.
Next posting will be before the New Year.
