And Finally

How do you want to be remembered when you leave this mortal world.  Will your legacy be a name on a building, a product or company  you created, the genius of your progeny, an oft-repeated quote, a work of work, or a piece of fruit?  We’ve been thinking about this since hearing recently that the American rock band The Velvet Underground is suing the family foundation of the late Andy Warhol over the licensing of one of his works.  A good friend and early supporter of the band, Warhol provided a silk-screen-styled yellow banana to serve as the cover of the 1967 “The Velvet Underground and Nico” album.

Despite the fact that it sold poorly and was largely ignored by music critics, the album has since grown in reputation during the intervening decades and is now routinely included in lists of greatest rocks albums. Thus, when the band learned that the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts had licensed the banana image to a maker a cases for iPads and iPods they filed a lawsuit in federal court. In short, the band’s argument is that the banana belongs to them by virtue of 45 years of association. While the band is due their 15 minutes in court, theirs is an uphill journey and a slippery one at that.
