Andy Warhol overestimated my fame duration



Backstory

From Wikipedia - 15 minutes of fame is short-lived media publicity or celebrity of an individual or phenomenon. The expression was coined by Andy Warhol, who said in 1968 that "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."

Andy Warhol was a hack, and he only became famous by accident of history. But then isn't that true on most famous persons?

You're famous around these parts, my friend. Continually.
