The New and (Hopefully) Improved World of Forms
Dear Readers,
World of Forms has recently undergone a format change. Some of you may notice the site looks less like an online zine (less flash; less images) and more like a typical blog. Also, the content has been expanded. Instead of every article being about Art and Philosophy, now the categories of “Science” and “Faith” have been added. The reasons for these changes are entirely selfish and lazy on my part. But, I believe it will help to improve the quality of World of Forms.
You see, the limitation of only being able to write about the arts resulted in huge time gaps between posts. I am regularly inspired by Art, yes, but it is not the only thing that inspires me. It is not the only thing that is important to me, or that I have opinions about. By expanding the range of topics to include issues of Science and Faith, I’ve basically made it possible for me to write about whatever I want (hence the selfish part). The hopeful result is that I will write more often.
For those of you that have continuously followed this blog, thank you for your support. I am humbled to know that a handful of people care to read my opinions on things. I look forward to more interaction and discussion with all of you.
With that said, enjoy the new World of Forms!
Sincerely,
James

Rock ‘n’ Roll, Rebellion, and Religion
Rock and Roll music has always carried with it connotations of rebellion. One could even say that rock music is a form of rebellion. But the kind of rebellion that gave birth to rock and roll is a far cry from the rebellion we see associated with it today…
