How about the fact that Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side is all about Andy Warhol's Factory stars

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walk_on_the_Wild_Side_(Lou_Reed_song)

The song's lyrics, describing a series of individuals and their journeys to New York City, refer to several of the regular "superstars" at Andy Warhol's New York studio, the Factory; the song mentions Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, Joe Dallesandro, Jackie Curtis and Joe Campbell (referred to in the song by the nickname "Sugar Plum Fairy").
