(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Sublime is an early 1990s rock band from Long Beach, California, who played a mix of hip hop, surf rock, garage rock, and "skunk" ( a mix of ska and punk). Sublime consisted of three members Brad Nowell (vocals and guitar), Bud Gaugh (drummer) and Eric Wilson (Bass guitar).
Sadly, the band took a tragic turn with the death of Nowell from a heroin overdose in 1996--just four months before their hit self titled album was released.
In total they have released 4 albums:
-40 oz. to Freedom (1992)
-Robbin' the Hood (1994)
-Sublime (1996)
-Second-hand Smoke (1997)
The Sublime(from the Latin sublimis (exalted)), refers in aesthetics to the quality of transcendent greatness, whether physical, moral, intellectual or artistic. The term especially references a greatness with which nothing else can be compared and which is beyond all possibility of calculation or measurement.
Psychologically, the perception of the sublime results in a feeling of awe or helplessness.
The first study of the value of the sublime is the treatise ascribed to Longinus: On the Sublime. Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant both investigated the subject (compare Burke’s Essay on the Sublime and Beautiful, 1756) and both distinguished the sublime from the beautiful. Later writers tend to include the sublime in the beautiful.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | TRINITY, n. In the multiplex theism of certain Christian churches, three entirely distinct deities consistent with only one. Subordinate deities of the polytheistic faith, such as devils and angels, are not dowered with the power of combination, and must urge individually their clames to adoration and propitiation. The Trinity is one of the most sublime mysteries of our holy religion. In rejecting it because it is incomprehensible, Unitarians betray their inadequate sense of theological fundamentals. In religion we believe only what we do not understand, except in the instance of an intelligible doctrine that contradicts an incomprehensible one. In that case we believe the former as a part of the latter. |
