According to this David Bowie Biography, they were friends. In that case then, it would be fitting that Bowie would play Warhol, no?

i believe that bowie and warhol wasnt that friendly...i think warhol saw bowie,s unique talent and approach to performance as a threat to his little cult and standing with the people around him.
id say that bowie,s influence on lou reed was by far more important to lou reed than warhols input.

my theory on warhol is simple...he was just a good sale,s man,a lot of his art work is just repetative and mudane,he sailed along on the back of others talents and stole alot of their ideas and portrayed them as his own..warhol is fake


..

Warhol was a famous figurehead. Most other people at the Factory took his ideas and created his work for him, but Warhol got the credit.

Damien Hurst has at least 100 people creating his work for him too, but he gets the credit.

Mist.

Hi James,

In Recent interviews where Lou talks about the people who influenced him.
He Always names Warhol and Delmore Schwartz who was one of his teachers and famous writer. He never mentions Bowie.
I think Warhol was a huge influence on Lou. He got Lou and the VU started
