Well I can't get the linked page to open. Too many ads?

How funny you should mention Rockwell, who popped into my head last night after leaving a steak restaurant with a buddy. (We were discussing Pedogate.)

TIdbits from Rockwell's bio on Wikipedia (bolding mine)::

He also is noted for his 64-year relationship with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), during which he produced covers for their publication Boys' Life, calendars, and other illustrations.

His early works were produced for St. Nicholas Magazine, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) publication Boys' Life and other youth publications . As a student, Rockwell was given small jobs of minor importance. His first major breakthrough came at age eighteen with his first book illustration for Carl H. Claudy's Tell Me Why: Stories about Mother Nature.

It is said to have been his first paying job as an artist.[12] At 19, he became the art editor for Boys' Life, published by the Boy Scouts of America. He held the job for three years,[13] during which he painted several covers, beginning with his first published magazine cover, Scout at Ship's Wheel, which appeared on the Boys' Life September edition.

• The 1994 film Forrest Gump includes a shot in a school that re-creates Rockwell's "Girl with Black Eye" with young Forrest in place of the girl. Much of the film drew heavy visual inspiration from Rockwell's art.[42]

• Film director George Lucas owns Rockwell's original of "The Peach Crop", and his colleague Steven Spielberg owns a sketch of Rockwell's Triple Self-Portrait. Each of the artworks hangs in the respective filmmaker's work space.[31] Rockwell is a major character in an episode of Lucas’ Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, “Passion for Life.”

MY COMMENTS: George Lucas is a known pedo. Reportedly, anyone in a Lucas film must have sex with him. Lucas even wanted to make the Indiana Jones character a pedo:

According to his son, Rockwell was supposedly a "devout Christian:"

But I can state unequivocally that he was actually a crypto Jew.

Are you a Rothschild?

Did Joseph Goebbels popularize certain ideals to the mass culture? Does Steven Spielberg attempt to do the same thing? Is celebrity more special than actual truth in art?
