Thinking you are all quite correct.
In less “ enlightened” times, his display would have been deemed witchery. How far we’ve come.
Friend got tix for Kiss concert in early 80’s. Was’nt a fan, but went anyway. Kid in row behind us does the butane blow over our heads. Instant Flame,small bits of crispy burnt hair smell. We lived.
Just saying, anyone who has piloted anything over large bodies of water in the vast darkness of night,has earned the titanium man-card,Mr BillH.

What makes people think of things like this??
Of course, those kinds of people have given us all the modern conveniences and technological marvels we enjoy, but still….
Then what is the answer?- Not to be deluded by dreams.
To know that great civilizations have broken down into violence,
and their tyrants come, many times before.
When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choose
the least ugly faction; these evils are essential.
To keep one’s own integrity, be merciful and uncorrupted
and not wish for evil; and not be duped
By dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams will
not be fulfilled.
To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appear
the whole remains beautiful. A severed hand
Is an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and stars
and his history… for contemplation or in fact…
Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness,
the greatest beauty is
Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty
of the universe. Love that, not man
Apart from that, or else you will share man’s pitiful confusions,
or drown in despair when his days darken.
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

Finally, someone who’s accomplished less in life than I have. Never thought I’d see it.
I am guessing, that guy is working on a much larger project. If not, Bill above, may be correct in his assessment.
It can be interesting watching the insane entertain themselves.
Fascinating! Until he was blinded by science.
My brother used to play Gene Simmons in the 80s with a butane lighter, does that count for something?
Reminds me. Wife’s making beans…
JWM
ummm… yes.
That was completely different.
(how did he do that?)
Am I the only one that thought it was a pretty cool display?
