picasso’s last words

 

Af­ter

a din­ner with Dustin Hoffman,
 
with (Paul, duh) Mc­Cart­ney play­ing around on guitar,
 
Hoff­man did not be­lieve that Mc­Cart­ney could just write a song
 
“about any­thing.”

 

So Hoff­man pulled out a mag­a­zine where they saw the sto­ry of the death of Pablo Pi­cas­so (1881–1973) and his fa­mous last words,

“Drink to me,
drink to my health.
You know I can’t drink anymore.”

 

 

Mc­Cart­ney cre­at­ed a demo of the song and lyrics on the spot,
 
prompt­ing Hoff­man to exclaim:
 
“… look, he’s do­ing it … Holy shit!”

 

 

 

This is just a re­al­ly cool story.

“Picasso’s life­less body forms the ba­sis for a work by the Span­ish artist Eu­ge­nio Meri­no, ti­tled Aquí Murió Pi­cas­so (Pi­cas­so Died Here) … The work all but begs fair­go­ers to snap pic­tures of them­selves next to Picasso’s body.”
