“... oh it isn't fair / how her ermine hair / turned men around / she was white on white / so blonde on blonde / and her long long legs / how I used to beg / to dance with her / but I never had a chance with her …”

/ From the poem “edie sedgwick (1943 – 1971)” by Patti Smith in the book Babel (1978) /

Died on this day: doomed, utterly magnetic Warhol Superstar, muse, scene-maker and socialite Edie Sedgwick (Edith Minturn Sedgwick Post, 20 April 1943 – 16 November 1971). Caution: if you’re interested in Sedgwick’s story, for the love of God avoid the terrible, wildly inaccurate, tone-deaf and frankly homophobic 2006 biopic Factory Girl and read Jean Stein’s 1982 book Edie: An American Biography instead. It’s a shame it’s virtually impossible to watch the underground Andy Warhol films Sedgwick features in, because that’s how best to understand her allure. Years ago (like, in the 1990s I think!) I managed to see Outer and Inner Space (1965) at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Experiencing the radiant Sedgwick onscreen was like seeing Louise Brooks in a silent movie for the first time! Pictured: portrait of Sedgwick by Larry Fink, 1966.

Edie (Ciao Baby) by The Cult and Endgame by REM. I compared them, and took notes. They're a little too similar, but in a good way
