    “Meese, the latter-day saint, we are invited to think, might actually be on a par with Saint-Just, Robespierre, Richard Wagner, Nietzsche, Rimbaud, Hitler, H. P. Lovecraft, and perhaps even Satan himself. This, though, would be to say nothing of Beuys, Klaus Kinsky, Christopher Lee, Sam Raimi, Che Guevara, Steve McQueen and Claudia Schiffer – all of whose names feature copiously in a succession of (quite possibly appropriately) hubristic streams of hyperbole.” (Luke Heighton, book review of Jonathan Meese’s Mama Johnny, Art Review, June 2007, p. 158)
