It now warrants a short documentary - one made, no less, by Jeff Krulik, a filmmaker who, five years after the Fear appearance, documented another burgeoning Fear-like fandom in his cult short, вЂњ Heavy Metal Parking Lot.вЂќ Just so, the legend of Fear on SNL has grown over time on YouTube. The network cut the broadcast short when one punk (identified as either MacKaye or John Brannon of the band Negative Approach) yelled вЂњF*ck New York!вЂќ into an open mic during the last song, вЂњLetвЂ™s Start a War.вЂќ NBC shelved the footage for years.ДЄlthough well-known in fan communities, the appearance might have faded from memory were it not for the internet, which not only has the Warholian power to make anyone famous (or вЂњinternet famousвЂќ) for no reason, but also routinely resurrects lost moments of fame and makes them last forever. Not only did Ving and band get up to their usual antics onstage, but the show brought in a crew of about 80 DC punks (including Dischord Records/Fugazi founder Ian MacKaye), who smashed up the set and joined the band in solidarity against New York and its saxophones.

The SNL appearance - for which Fear proudly earned a permanent ban - became the stuff of legend.

Had NBC executives seen this footage casual violence, profanity, and worrisome ebullience, itвЂ™s unlikelyВ they would have let returning guest John Belushi book Fear on Halloween night of that same year. When their first taste of Warholian fame came around - in Penelope SpheerisвЂ™ 1981 documentary The Decline of Western Civilization - Ving used the moment in front of the cameras to taunt and abuse audience members until a few of them rushed the stage to fight him. California hardcore legends Fear - led by confrontational satirist Lee Ving - swing wildly in every direction, hitting their audience as often as the powers that be. Not every punk band reserved its punches for those above them. It was the death of WarholвЂ™s fame ideal, and the birth of something new: music that loudly declared open hostilities against the gatekeepers of popular culture. Do we all want to be famous for 15 minutes (and only 15 minutes), or do we only spend 15 minutes wanting to be famous before we move on and accept it as a suckerвЂ™s game?ДЇinkelstein himself might have felt the latter as he watched вЂњpop die and punk being bornвЂќ ( he said in a 2001 interview). To which the FactoryвЂ™s вЂњcourt photographerвЂќ Nat Finkelstein replied, вЂњyeah, for 15 minutes.вЂќ Given the way the idea has come down to us, weвЂ™ve missed the ambiguity in this exchange. Warhol simply said that everybody wants to be famous (and by implication, famous forever). Like many famous episodes in the lives of famous people, Andy WarholвЂ™s 15 minutes quote turns out to be a garbling of what happened.

A couple of years thereafter, the end of the Second World War made Einstein even more famous.
