Lou Reed and John Cale put out a fine tribute album to Andy Warhol at his death,
Songs for Drella. Here's the album:

And here's a poem on it:
The Style It Takes
At the end of a long day
I find myself
immersed in
Songs for Drella,
where Lou Reed and John Cale
tell Andy Warhol’s story. He has
got
the style it takes, sings John Cale
in his flat voice, and every muscle
in my back, neck and shoulders
begins to ease. This is
an elegy, where grief
and anger meet, though art burns through
those passions like a flame.
I fired him on the spot, Lou sings, and Andy Warhol
calls him
a rat. It’s just
work, this song says, and the guitar
does that. Each note abrades the soul, the way
an emery board
abrades the foot.
It wasn’t me,
Lou sings; life in its vivid
red and orange fills my listening mind.
The simplest
words eat my heart, the way a bird
tore at Prometheus, while the music –
ah, the music! –
says life is beautiful,
and worth the living.
