CAMPBELL'S MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER

My wife has discovered for me my new favorite soup: Campbell's Manhattan Clam Chowder.   One full can will taste great and it is only 150 calories.   Why didn't I discover this product earlier?  It appears that in the Chicago area, it is not widely available.   It is carried in a couple of stores - but one has to know where to look.

My 'old' favorite soup was New England Clam Chowder.  New England Clam Chowder is the creamy dairy based high calorie soup which is a poor choice for someone watching  calories.  Manhattan Clam Chowder is broth based and tastes delicious and it is low calorie.   Doesn't this can look like a work of art?

As you might know, I am asking that because 1960's artist, Andy Warhol, surely is famous for among other things, turning Campbell's Soup Cans into art.

David Bowie released a song entitled Andy Warhol released in 1971.

"Andy Warhol" (by David Bowie)

Like to take a cement fix

Be a standing cinema

Dress my friends up 

just for show

See them as they really are

Put a peephole in my brain

Two New Pence to have a go

I'd like to be a gallery

Put you all inside my show

Andy Warhol looks a scream

Hang him on my wall

Andy Warhol, Silver Screen

Can't tell them apart at all

Andy walking, Andy tired

Andy take a little snooze

Tie him up when he's fast asleep

Send him on a pleasant cruise

When he wakes up on the sea

Be sure to think of me and you

He'll think about paint 

and he'll think about glue

What a jolly boring thing to do

from wikipedia:

"Andy Warhol" is a song written by David Bowie in 1971 for the album Hunky Dory. It is an acoustic song about one of Bowie's greatest inspirations, the American pop artist Andy Warhol. The song starts with some studio chat where Bowie explains to producer Ken Scott, who has just been heard to mispronounce Warhol's name when introducing the take, the right way to say it. Scott solemnly reintroduces the take with the correct pronunciation. There follows several seconds of silence before Bowie asks if the tape is rolling. Upon realising they are indeed recording, Bowie bursts into laughter and begins playing. The song is memorable for its distinctive, flamenco-sounding opening riff on the acoustic guitar that continues through the song.

some quotes from Andy Warhol
(I discovered while researching today's blog post - that Andy Warhol had genuine wisdom.)

“When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can't make them change if they don't want to, just like when they do want to, you can't stop them.” 
― Andy Warhol, Andy Warhol in His Own Words

“Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, So what. That's one of my favorite things to say. So what.” 
― Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

“Art is what you can get away with.” 
― Andy Warhol

“An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.” 
― Andy Warhol, Andy Warhol, Thirty Are Better Than One

“I'm not afraid to die; I just don't want to be there when it happens” 
― Andy Warhol

and finally....the most famous quote of all....the one that everybody kinda knows....

“In the future, everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes.” 
― Andy Warhol
