===Music=== In 1965, Warhol adopted the band [[the Velvet Underground]], making them a crucial element of the ''[[Exploding Plastic Inevitable]]'' multimedia performance art show. Warhol, with Paul Morrissey, acted as the band's manager, introducing them to Nico (who would perform with the band at Warhol's request). While managing the Velvet Underground, Andy would have them dressed in all black to perform in front of movies that he was also presenting.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Please kill me : the uncensored oral history of punk |last2=McCain |first2=Gillian|isbn=978-0-8021-2536-1|edition= Twentieth anniversary |location=New York|oclc=955634990|last1 = McNeil|first1 = Legs|year = 2016 |publisher=Grove Press}}</ref> In 1966, he "produced" their first album ''[[The Velvet Underground & Nico]]'', as well as providing its album art.
