Council after a 1947 conference in reaction to what would, in the 1950s, become the infamous blacklisting of Hollywood during McCarthyism.

But none of this is necessary; for art can lead the mind down the path of understanding if a viewer allows himself to swallow the pill. For with NoiseFold, I have found my urban shamen, my Don Bastardoses, my gurus.
