My VHS copy is called The Quest. The cover has Henry Thomas at the pond with a rifle. What's the deal with the rifle?

'Taint Lickers'?! Good lord, someone was definitely licking something tainted when they came up with that one. Taint Lickers. Taint. Lickers. "New Taint Lickers from Wrigleys. They'll poison your tongue with flavoury goodness!"

"You'll stay away from that mine Henry, if you know what's good for you!"
"Yeah, only taint lickers go down there!"

It reminds me of an organ work that I had trouble tracking down some years back, by the late Czech composer Petr Eben. The people at Patelson's (across the street from Carnegie Hall, one of the most knowledgeable music stores in the country) told me it was out of print. But I asked to see the publisher's catalog-- and there it was under another title. Nedelny Hudba... Sonntagsmusik... Sunday Music... Musica Domenica. All the same piece.

Eben had composed this music back in the Iron Curtain days, when bad things could happen to anyone suspected of being a Christian. He didn't want to say so, but in fact he was inspired by Biblical scenes and passages. One movement is about Jesus's exorcising a man who was possessed. The demons tell him:

Our name is legion.

So you see, it's all because of that scene about dancing with the devil.
