if you ever get an opportunity to see the documentary, danielson: a family movie, please do. if not for yourself, for your family. no slight against my own family or anyone elses, but i've never seen a group so devoted to each other. and its completely genuine; they invest themselves into the dreams of each other, dressing up in nurses outfits and singing songs that your average person wouldn't even bother to take seriously.
but there is a very serious message here. the man behind it all, daniel smith, fell in love with the idea of the bible salesman that he doned a simple suit, and sold (or a least) the ideals of christianity to a public that was mostly just amused at him and the spectacle, that included selling items such as hand crafted heart shaped blinders. all of this is just a part of the vision that he says God shared with him. its a really wonderful vision.
