  • This has the extra 30seconds that is cut on all the other RUclips videos.
    I have been wanting to try something new for my channel. That is to seek out original 16mm films and transfer them to hi-quality video. A big thanks to my friends at Cinepost for doing the transfer.
    There are some real challenges in just finding 16mm films. Then I need consider things like the cost,quality, who to chose for the transfers,what resolution to use, and is it worth it. We will need to wait and see how this all plays out.
    Meanwhile enjoy this one.

      @HooDatDonDar 11 месяцев назад +1

      Loco weed.
      Locoweed (also crazyweed and loco) is a common name in North America for any plant that produces swainsonine, a phytotoxin harmful to livestock. In North America, these plants are Oxytropis and Astragalus.
      Every rancher is plagued by this stuff on their land.
      The trouble is it is relatively palatable to livestock, and some individual animals will seek it out. Livestock poisoned by chronic ingestion of large amounts of swainsonine develop a medical condition known as locoism (swainsonine disease, swainsonine toxicosis in North America). They stampede, bellow, gore passers-by, and generaly act up. Locoism is reported most often in cattle, sheep, and horses, but has also been reported in elk and deer. It is the most widespread poisonous plant problem in the western United States.
      From the Spanish ‘loco’=crazy.

      I'll tell you what, @@Daisnap, I've got a good pair of headphones on and a DAC. Everything's coming through loud and clear, and I can make out the "l" in "local" each time the line comes up! It's no joke, and neither was Harlem. It was already a cosmopolitan epicenter, as well as the home of black excellence on display, by the 1920's, and as early as the 1920's Mexican and African-American groups were developing a mutual and *profound* appreciation for cannabis. It is absolutely not out of the question to have such a pun in this market, in this era; it just makes for fascinating evidence, great cultural anthropology so to speak.

      @@crunchy_kvass Ahhh, okay...so you heard the "l"...meaning it was "local" and not "loco" after all? And if it had been "loco", it would have been referring to the aforementioned toxic plants that drove cows crazy and not the marijuana plant? Thanks for the info about Harlem and the great artistry alive there and the cultural appreciation for cannabis. All very interesting.

    • @hebneh
      @hebneh 9 месяцев назад +2

      The original lyric IS “loco weed”, and while this a reference to cattle in the American west, it is also a joking reference to marijuana, which at that point in the 1940s was primarily used by Black and Hispanic Americans, notably musicians. This is made clear by the previous line: “He’s got a knocked-out western accent, with a Harlem touch.” The word “Harlem” in mainstream American songs always indicated Black people or African-American culture.

      The actual loco weed that cowboys first referred to is a poisonous plant that would make cattle act “loco” after they ate it. For this song, though, it does mean marijuana.
