...Jews for Jesus" would love to be considered Jews, but the name of this group implies the renouncement of Judaism, and thus they cannot be called Jews. The same rule holds true for the "polydox." They do not believe in God and thus are no longer a sect of Judaism but rather a new religion...
Truth was in line, not in color or tone. Some of Blake's most acrid denunciations were reserved for Rembrandt and Rubens, in whose "dark caverns" and "hellish brownness" the true lessons of Raphael and Michelangelo were, in his opinion, lost. His own images were overwhelmingly linear, his style based on outline and infill. The line recalls its 16th century sources in mannerist engravings (Blake never crossed the channel, and so had to depend on prints for his contact with Michelangelo).

The smell of coconut oil on the beach almost equals the smell of salt spray; the taste of beer touches far more...
American Hot Wax purports to be the saga of this modern cultural genesis, and in some ways it adequately serves this function. However, the movie re-creates the '50s and the upheaval that begat rock and roll with a disturbingly developed sense of ficto-history, portraying as true and factual that which is romanticized and basically false...
