In his eulogy Larry Rivers gave a description of Frank O’Hara’s deathbed and according to Warhol that was very pop and suddenly I understood pop and blessed with this knowledge I went out on the street and I said: that is and that is not what a day! for a moment everything stopped and then went its own way

Three types of pop? Pop as in pop culture, as in father, and as a measure of a moment quickly passed? I stll am not getting much O'Hara. Maybe it's me.

If Frank leaves you in the dark, maybe you should try to find a door. Like 'The Day Lady Died', that's a beautiful poem.

I really don't care what is pop and what is not, but I like the way you've made an issue of it.

Thanks. To me it's like stripping a thing until nothing but the thing itself is left, something like that.
