So I’m just going to say it – I’m really proud of that Axl/Jesus picture.
And for those Beach Boy haters (Burton!) out there, click on the song and hold onto your hat! It’s a video from their racially-integrated 72/73 period of them playing on top of what looks like a Mosque. (i think they’re in Holland). if that’s not the most rock n roll thing you’ve EVER seen, i don’t know what is.
That’s Dennis Wilson with the skullcap on, standing up to play piano. Possibly the coolest man of all time.
I didn’t mean I hate the Beach Boys – I just meant I hate the way they sound when they play instruments and sing. So Beatles-ish. Yuck.
And, I have soooo much empathy for Dennis Wilson – no doubt about his rock n roll street cred.
The axl/Jesus picture is profound on many levels.
P.S. I checked out Elton John and Ryan Adams’ Tiny Dancer. Very cool.
I mean, in a way, the Axl Rose picture, well, it kind of, uh, restores my faith.
I just
I want to expound on what I said earlier about the axl/Jesus pic earlier.
I was totally going to comment on it shortly after your post, Dave, but I thought that, surely, John Stamper had some insight on it and that maybe I should wait until he’d had his say.
To me, what I immediately take from the picture is the idea of imputation, although the way it’s portrayed in the rendering is maybe kind of reversed. Even so, the idea that, on Christ’s Body was heaped the sins of Axl Rose and mike burton, is moving to say the least.
Also, the way Axl is sort of showing you, by pulling away his garment, his heart, his true heart, thorny and black, but with the cross above it, is kind of real and transparent and true.
I, in fact, before seeing this picture, never really gave much thought to this sort of latin catholic portrayal of Jesus that I am used to seeing at stands in markets in Tijuana or somewhere like that.
Thanks for it.
Sorry about the first sentence.
I used to work for the Department of Redundancy Department.
mike, i don’t know where to begin. paulson would say i need to proclaim the forgiveness of sins. but i may have to use the binding key instead…
repent!
Oh, no, DZ, not the binding key!!!
