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.
