'''Description of Artwork:''' Miller, noted primarily as a sports portrait painter (see ''The Catch'', left, of Willie May's), submitted sixteen seascape paintings for his exhibition at the Harbour Gallery. Miller requested that he be allowed to display twenty-three song lyrics with the paintings.  Among the rejected songs was ''Jesus is a Zombie'' and ''God is Dead''.  "God damn" is included in some of the song lyrics.  <P>

'''The Incident:''' After Adams submitted the lyrics, Carol Adams emailed him to say that eight of the lyrics would not be displayed. The gallery owners claim that the song lyrics have nothing to do with the paintings. Miller feels disrespected and censored. The gallery owners feel they have the right to reject paintings that they do not want to exhibit.  <P>
