Pillars of the Hot Wax Club
I. Study the Tapes (preservation of musical tradition, shoulders of giants)
II. Cultural Exchange (seeing the 'folk' in every genre)
III. A Great Tree (the inheritance of influence)
IV. Sharing Fruit (living in good music)
V. Render Unto the Metal Gods (identify one's musical heritage)
VI. Sovereign Creativity (the ability to sustain a vision)
VII. Sculptures from Echoes (the craft, and relationships with muses)
VIII. A Clubhouse (home is where you make it)
IX. The Wax (art as a commodity versus a store of value)
X. Chair Maintenance (challenging our relationships with objects)
Each pillar is approx. of equal weight. New pillars will be documented as they are erected.
