Encore! These guys are good. Can't fool animals. They instinctively know when nature is in perfect harmony. Thanks for the excellent post, Will.

Only the French can do things like that...

They care about their food :)

I used to get milk from a small farm in Maine, where the farmer played public radio for the cows. For reasons I never got, Maine is a big jazz state -- it's also big on circus arts like juggling and mime. We'd get out of the car in the dark, tramp through the snow into the barn, and find the cows all standing there listening to Bird.

My 2 Boxer dogs always settle down and go to dreamland when I turn on the cable Jazz station...something about music soothing the savage breast?

When you eat a hamburger made from one of those cows, it tastes like a hamburger at first, then the flavors get all discombobulated and crazy-all over the place- in your mouth as you chew, before settling back to hamburger flavor just before you swallow.

Are you saying the Jazz effect makes your burger sing and dance like madmen in your mouth? This is good then, yeah?

Oh, yes. It's a whole John Coltrane experience.

This reinforces my vegetarian impulses, and love of cows . . .

This really validates the saying that music is a universal language.

I can't help wondering... Was the intent to change the cows' outlook on wearing cowbells? If so... that's just sneaky.

Ok, I had to check out the music for cows one more time. But it really does look like that lighter steer center screen is trying to join the jazz and ring its cowbell.

I love the old guy at the end who's bugging the clarinet player to turn around so he can take his picture.
