Art is no stranger than life.
It was andy warhol- I was just in Pittsburgh, and stopped in the Andy 
Warhol museum there- and they had one of his Piss Paintings there- 
about 8' tall and 20' wide- evidently he did a whole series of them, 
where anyone who stopped by the studio was invited to be an artist. And 
they actually are kind of beautiful.

and then there is music-

standing on a highway
pants around my knees
I'd write her name out on the road
but I cant piss Denise

from the song "Grim" by the Ass Ponys, a great band from Ohio
