Warhol's Blow Job



Not the original, which was longer and ran at a different frame rate, but evocative and arousing nonetheless. I don't know if a soundtrack accompanied Warhol's original footage, but I preferred to mute the music on this vid anyway.

I wonder if "Blow Job" was part of the impetus for Beautiful Agony.

I love love love Andy, but I can never bring myself to watch more than a little bit of his films. However, I love that he was trying to push the edge with the films. He was a pioneer in many ways. And an entrepreneurial artist.

The amazing thing was that he was able to surround himself with amazing people, and amazing people wanted to surround him. He won the lottery when it came to "fifteen minutes of fame."

Andy is probably my most favorite artist.

It's a little known fact that this is actually cockpit video, taken on a super 8, of James Dean starting his 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder 4-cam engine for the first time, the car that would eventually kill him.

Ah, the 50's, when cars were dangerous and blowjobs were safe.

He's in the cockpit of his car leaning his head against a brick wall? HUH?

Phil's just being a good ol' rude boy. Behave yourself, Phil!

Here is the real "Blow Job" story.

Work with me, Alan.

After all, 550's were open roadsters. And if you ever heard a 4-cam engine, you'd agree.

The truly orgasmic Porsche engine sounds eminated from the flat 12- cylinder boxers. When the 917's were started up in the morning, crowds were already gathered to witness the event.

Rent "LeMans", 1971, Steve McQueen, and you'll see. And hear.

And I admit to not watching much of this video, because, well, it's a guy that's not me getting head.

Until they release the "director's cut" with full-frontal....I'll stick with, "What a crap job of acting!"
