Fame is when the JumboTron goes viral

One might think of Andy Warhol as a prophet or at least a good guesser when considering his statement that “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.”

A couple at a Houston Astros game the other night stands as the latest example of a vote for  Warhol’s vision (or guesswork) after it appeared that Bo “The Bailer”  Wyble dived to avoid a foul ball that ended up whacking his girlfriend, Sara “Not so Smiling” Saco-Vertiz on the arm. They later announced on morning TV that they had broken up, though supposedly not because of the errant fly.

It is kind of ironic that Warhol himself may be as famous, if not more famous, for his quote about the future state of fame than his art including his most famous soup cans.
