50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

WWdN reader John sent me this e-mail:

Hi,
I just realized today that you’re mentioned in the infamous Andy Warhol
Diaries. Unfortunately not by name, but it’s definitely you he’s talking
about, so I thought I’d send the quote along just in case you haven’t
seen it before.
“Wednesday, August 13, 1986
Went to see Stand by Me at the Coronet or Baronet. These four little kids and there’s the Fat kid, and the Brilliant kid and the Crazy kid. The only disappointing thing was that the kid who’s a writer they show writing about it later in life, and this really cute little kid has turned into Richard Dreyfuss! It should’ve been Richard Gere. Then I would’ve been happy.”
I’m a huge Warhol fan, so I thought it was pretty funny to stumble onto this little surprise. Hopefully, you’ll also think it’s cool.

Uh, yeah. I think this is just a little bit cool.
