Why does this scene remind me of C.A.?

 

 

Blind Seer: " You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the one you seek. But first... first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril. Mm-hmm. You shall see thangs, wonderful to tell. You shall see a... a cow... on the roof of a cotton house, ha. And, oh, so many startlements. I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation."

This is fast becoming a metaphor for life, your campaigning for the lowly cow.  

 

That would be nice:

But careful!  "Attempts at sustained profundity in internet forums rarely succeed.  At some point, they reliably disintegrate into unintelligible pontification."...which is roughly the verbal equivalent of:

Milk Cow Blues: a classic!

 

A little background: "Milk Cow Blues" is a blues song written and originally recorded by Kokomo Arnold in September 1934. In 1935 and 1936, he recorded four sequels designated "Milk Cow Blues No. 2" through No. 5. The song made Arnold a star, and was widely adapted by artists in the blues, Western swing and rock idioms. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_Cow_Blues)

 

The version Willie covers begins at 3:15:

 

 

 When Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys cover it in 1946, it's gone through a musical makeover:

 

 

Elvis covered it as "Milkcow Blues Boogie" in '55. It is full tilt rockabilly.

Now to thicken the plot, there were other versions of Milkcow blues floating around in the 20s and 30s. Chief among them is Sleepy John Estes 1930 song:

 

...which is covered by Robert Johnson in '36 as "Milkcow's Calf Blues":

 

 

...which is covered on Eric Clapton's tribute to Robert Johnson album.

It was said of theatre director Jerzy Grotowski: "He used to sleep out in the barn, by choice, under the feet of a cow with whom he talked a great deal.”

 

[christopher3393]

traditionally, cattle are rather uneasy about the topic of branding... mention REbranding and start a stampede. Let's just all keep away from hot irons.

 

 

a bit tame.

 

boring.

 

 

 lacks gravitas.

 

 

that's more like it.

 

 

moloch style?

 

 

tempting.

now will the same old cow music do it?

 

 

nope.

And then I saw that Humanure picture.

 

Thanks for that, @christopher3393

 

😱

 

You're not alone. A number of retail outlets banned the album due to the cover illustration. The audio contents are challenging to most tastes as well. I won't bother you with the cover of To Serve Man ,  title borrowed from a cult classic Twilight Zone episode.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_Decapitation  Vegan grindcore death metal. Yes, I just typed that. I think of it as an aspect of Bovine Vendetta. 🐮  Mu.

Dear Christopher:

I think it may be time for you to seek professional mental healthcare!

Thanks for your kind solicitude. Actually, I find this therapeutic in a cathartic sort of way.  

Meme time!

 

For example, the Humanure illustration reminded me of an old term for thoughtful reflection. Medieval monks wrote about sacred reading (lectio divina) as a process of slowly chewing on the words, like cud. And so every now and then, when reading a post or thread in, say, the general area of the forum, I struggle not to react too quickly, to chew on what is there to really digest it but find that for me much is either indigestible or simply passes right through me with, alas, little nutritional value. YMMV, of course. 👁️
