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.

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.

Written by a couple DJ's  to commemorate the true story of a man caught sexually molesting a cow at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago after closing.   ?

 

"The gullibility of audiophiles is what astonishes me the most, even after all these years. How is it possible, how did it ever happen, that they trust fairy-tale purveyors and mystic gurus more than reliable sources of scientific information?"
