guy was into quite a few things. The Campbell Soup painting (I guess that's what it is called) is a Classic for the ages.

I did not know that he chose the number 32 because it was the number of different soup mixes available back then.

Can you imagine how many flavors there are now? Can you imagine how much free advertising Campbell Soup has gotten over the years on this?

Such an iconic and somewhat eccentric part of America that is gone (replaced of course by other great American things). You got me fantasizing about pulling up an Andy Warhol exhibit on YouTube or something similar, and just simply, going down memory lane.

Thanks!
