I consider that a moral act. And I consider it immoral that
I missed.
I should have done target practice. (1)
--Valerie Solanas commenting on her near-fatal shooting of
Andy Warhol in 1968
Valerie Solanas took the elevator and got off at the fourth floor
She pointed the gun at Andy saying you can't control me anymore ...
Valerie Solanas waved her gun pointing at the floor
From inside her idiot madness spoke and bang
Andy fell to the floor
And I believe life's serious enough for some retribution
I believe being sick is no excuse
And I believe I would've pulled the switch on her myself
--John Cale and Lou Reed, 'I Believe'
