Just that 'Style It Takes' grates me... along with a coupla other songs on that album which feel just a bit too hagiographic for my taste ... though i will admit that to say that it was god awful was a vast overstatement... On an unrelated note, going to Lima to eat your weight in causas is a highly commendable goal.

The entire Songs for Drella Album is an underrated masterpiece, and it, along with ol pajama man's Basquiat movie, are some of the purest insights into Warhol. I admit, John Cale is a bit of an acquired taste- but he is NOT god awful. Perhaps you would prefer his version of "Pablo Picasso"- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAyfd69wkrk It rocks a bit more...
