Hugo Wilcken Quote

Pop culture didn’t actually need an Andy Warhol to make it postmodern. Rock ’n’ roll was never anything but a faked-up blues—something that the glam-era Bowie had understood perfectly. (Eno: Some people say Bowie is all surface style and second-hand ideas, but that sounds like a definition of pop to me.)
