- In the late Summer of 1994 Arthur J. "Art" DiFuria (born July 1967 - He is both a rock musician and a professor of art history, currently teaching at SCAD = Savannah College of Art and Design at Savannah, Georgia) left the Lilys (an East Coast rock band formed in 1988 in Washington, D.C., whose leader was Kurt Heasley) and formed a rock band of his own called the Photon Band. Several months earlier, DiFuria had read an article about the Photon Belt in a Winter 1993 issue of Welcome To Planet Earth magazine (an astrology magazine), and the article impressed him so deeply that it inspired him to name his new band the Photon Band. In December 1994 the Lilys released an album on the SpinArt label titled Eccsame the Photon Band (which means "Behold and Open the Photon Band"), a title which was intended to pay tribute to their former band member Art DiFuria and his new band the Photon Band.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Party action should follow, not precede the creation of a dominant popular sentiment.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“One of the oddest features of western Christianized culture is its ready acceptance of the myth of the stable family and the happy marriage. We have been taught to accept the myth not as an heroic ideal, something good, brave, and nearly impossible to fulfil, but as the very fibre of normal life. Given most families and most marriages, the belief seems admirable but foolhardy.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
