Ahhhh, that hits the spot!

 

So I was grazing on the internet looking into why Jim Crow is called Jim Crow and happened upon an article entitled "Jim Crow and the Blues".   

 

https://www.wordsinthebucket.com/jim-crow-and-the-blues

 

Couldn't help but notice a song ("Jim Crow Blues") written by one  Charles Edward “Cow Cow” Davenport, who was best known for his successful and influential "Cow Cow Blues". 

 

 The "Cow Cow" in the title referred to a train's cowcatcher (ouch!) !

 

 

So this is actually a TRAIN song: 🙃

Asking myself just one question - can one milk Μινώταυρος .? 

 

 

hmmmm...

 

 

Well, Elliot Carter wrote a ballet in 2 scenes called The Minotaur, beaking down the mythic narrative into 17 parts. Given that the whole comes in at around 33 minutes, you could say he milked it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, milked it.

"Albert Camus, The Plague." 

 

Camus, like the sounds cows make. Good book. Maybe great. And a fitting quote.

 

But sometimes I just wanna say "Hey Camus! Take a happy pill!" 

 

 

 

Yes. This illustrates a phase of cowation: https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Cowation

 

Elvis Costello, pre and post cowation: eerie!

 

 

 

 

As for milking the Minotaur, file this one under "Cheese":

 

 

 

Musically speaking, imo, one could get a lot more mileage from... the Labyrinth:

 

Canonic Ballade on a Labyrinth, "En la maison Dedalus" Anon. ca. 1375

Here's a sad one ...    

 

On a wagon bound for market

There's a calf with a mournful eye ... 

 

 

 

 

good catch. I'm familiar with this song but didn't recall that.

 

On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky

 

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly

 

cow and bird song...( but highly biased lyric! 🐮)

 

Turns out it's originally a Yiddish song from the 40s:

IMO this post is a serious offence for this thread, its creator and cows in general!

Moderator!!!

 

 

Objectivism will NOT be tolerated in this thread! Bickering about bovine aesthetics? How will this moove us further into the udder jouissance of our hobby? NOT!
