My first Door interview was with Al Shaprton in Harlem circa 1995. I even got William F. Buckley and Arianna Huffington to talk to me. You develop a thick skin and a set of brass ones or you can't be a religious satirist. Otherwise, the rejections and hate mail will kill ya. (I don't mean honest critical debate, I'm talking the *&^%^ you kinda stuff.) Actually the artist was quite sweet (bad pun). As a writer I felt sorry for the dude - I've had projects killed and it really, really sucks when you think an project is going to happen and nadda. As far as that conversation - hell would have to freeze over first. As far as I know the Sheen family are lapsed Catholic``s and the only one I'd want to meet is the dad anyway. I already interivewed Willie Aames (Bibleman) though - does that count? Don’t you mean I’m “NOT” afraid. My first Door interview was with Al Shaprton in Harlem circa 1995. I even got William F.

He told me he'd let me know if the exhibit will be shown elsewhere. Will let people know. Well in "Jesus of Nazareth," the dude was a blue eyed Englishman and Mel's Jesus isn't exactly what I'd call looking Middle Eastern - then again that Jesus was mostly red. Most depictions of Jesus tend to show him as an anemic looking wuss. EVEN "The Navity Story" which used a very authentic looking cast had at the end a baby Jesus with blue eyes. Duh. My Q is if the artist kept the painting Kosher if you get my drift. I have been in email contact with the artist. He told me he’d let me know if the exhibit will be shown elsewhere.
