As the saying goes, all artists borrow, great artists steal. He certainly breathed life into a stodgy and formulaic industry, thus spawning a new wave of Lynchian templates to chew on. I don't think he was nearly as weird or radical or louche as, say, Ken Russell (and many others).</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43084.7&return_msg=43084.6" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43084.7"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43084_8"></a><div class="message" id="message_43084_8"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time">18 Jan 17:16</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 18 Jan 17:38"></span></span> <span class="message_count">8 of 17</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43084.8">43084.8</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43084.6#a43084_7" target="_self">43084.7</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I think he had a lot of fun with what he did.
