10. Anyone help me on this one -
In June 1972, David Bowie presented a copy of his album 'Hunky Dory' to one of his heroes, whose response was to ask one of his assistants, "Can he use my name without permission? Should he pay us royalties?" Who was this
Lou Reed
Bob Dylan
Andy Warhol
Think its one of the bottom 2 but not sure which
Thanks

I searched for days for this and came up with zilch !
I think it's been asked before but no answer which could be confirmed absolutely .In the end I plumped for Warhol .

[shaneystar2]

I have just another brief Google and found this .

It IS Andy Warhol, found one reference to the quote in Google groups:

excerpt from HolyTerror - Andy Warhol Close Up , by Bob Colacello

Quote:
"...though Pork moved to London that august, where it ran for a year at the Roundhouse and inspired David Bowie to write his song "Andy Warhol Superstar" - which Andy hated. In fact he hated it so much he always made us change stations when it came on the radio. "Can he use my name without permission?", he would ask. "Shouldn't he pay us royalties?""

It has been asked both here, and in the music section several times. I haven't seen any definitive answer.

you could always try the messageboard at

www.davidbowie.com

but you will have to register.

Well done shaneystar2

So the question itself was wrong ! The quote wasn't from when the album was handed to him !

Thanks, shaneystar - I have been looking for this answer for the last few days without any luck - that's my last one. Thanks again, you're a star!

I can remember reading about this way back in the 70's and thinking what a wally AH was. It has stuck with me ever since so I can confirm the answer as Warhol.

Lots of luck

Big Bowie Fan
