Andy Warhol said we would be, everybody would be famous for 15 minutes.

And I was thinking about that, and then I was thinking about how

Kennedy and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, I mean they had very profound things to say,

I could throw Che Guevara in there too.

I just thought it was really weird that on one, these are cats important politically, socially,

but they also look like matinee idols.

And the fact that they look like matinee idols is a part of their appeal,

but it's the part of their appeal that can never really be spoken of because that's very shallow and not very deep.

They all have iconic good looks.

It's a part of their mystique.

And then I started thinking about the negative on the other side,

like the Mussolini's, the Hitler's.

They also have an appeal from a different direction.

And I thought to myself, there's something that's unifying the two things.

Beyond good or evil.

I had like a Nietzschean sort of idea.

And I just proceeded from that point in that, that I wasn't going to,

I wasn't writing about duality in the sense of good versus evil. I was writing it in the sense of good,

shakes hands with evil, shakes hands with good.

And it's a cool riff. Hey everyone.
