If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?
- If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?
::"If running against men has wearied you, how will you race against horses? And if in a land of peace you fall headlong, what will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?"
The movie is perhaps best known for having been sampled by the sound collage band Negativland. Rev. Pirkle's narrative includes a (real or speculative) experience in a communist totalitarian country where public loudspeakers issued proclamations such as "Christianity is stupid -- Communism is good" "ad infinitum". Negativland lifted the brainwashing phrases and played them repeatedly backed by heavy metal music and various other sound effects. A more complete version of Pirkle's narrative can be heard on Negativland's "Helter Stupid".
