Anyone know where I can find the exact quotation about "this is your 15
minutes of fame" or something like that? I need the exact wording and the
source.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

BTW, please e-mail me your response as I cannot always get this
newsgroup.

"In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." --Andy Warhol

I may not have the wording exactly right, but he's the one that started
this tired '15 minutes' business in the first place.

Quoted in the Washington Post 15 November, 1979, supposedly said in the 1960s.

(BTW, I think the phrase "15 minutes of fame" has had its 15 minutes of
fame by now, don't you?)
