Mac's band "Pizza Underground" based on band "Velvet Underground" which was originally signed by Andy Warhol at The Factory. Warhol got into films and "60's "It" Girl was Edie Sedgwick, which Velvet Underground wrote a song about. She dated Warhol during this time ("She was 21 years old, the seventh of eight children in a clan that went, in Andy’s awestruck words, “all the way back to the Pilgrims.” The branches on the family tree were so heavily laden with fruit it’s a wonder they didn’t snap: Robert Sedgwick, the first major general of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; William Ellery, signatory to the Declaration of Independence; Ephraim Williams, benefactor and namesake of Williams College. Except sometimes they did. The Sedgwicks may have been illustrious, but they were also troubled, hypomania an inherited trait along with a beaky nose....Not caring for “daddy,” he insisted that his kids call him “Fuzzy,” though he wasn’t, was a brute and a son of a *itch, his sexual arrogance and sense of privilege seemingly without limit. Edie would tell people that she was seven when he made his first (deflected) pass.....As a teenager, Edie walked in on Francis having sex with a woman not her mother. He slapped her, told her she didn’t see what she saw—”You don’t know anything. You’re insane”—and had a doctor administer tranquilizers. She was sent to Silver Hill, a psychiatric hospital in Connecticut.") WOW!

WOW! I was right on. An early Pizza Underground song is a cover for "Femme Fatale" - Velvet Underground about EVIE SEDGWICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_4wKYrky4k
Compare with PIZZA UNDERGROUND'S cover/parody "She's a Pizza Gal" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZqiJKcJDZ0 starts at 3:28
Is Mac exposing something about Edie? Warhol?
Mac also did a parody of Warhol's film of him eating a burger. Mac eats a pizza.
