Bill Evans with Jeremy Steig - Spartacus Love Theme
pressed in 1969
"First rule: you get an instant kill on the red.
Here and here.
Always remember: go for the red first because if you don't your opponent will."
"For the blue you get a cripple.
Here, here, here, and here.
Second rule: go for the cripple before the slow kill."
"When, with an expression so ill-bred as to be fatherless, I enjoin a small offensive fellow to 'fuck a duck,' I don't mean he should. Nothing of the sort is in my mind. In a way I've used the words, yet I've quite ignored their content, and in that sense I've not employed them at all, they've only appeared. I haven't even exercised the form. The command was not a command. 'Go fly a kite' only looks like 'shut the door.' At first glance it seems enough that the words themselves be shocking or offensive - that they dent the fender of convention at least a little - but there is always more to anything than that.
For example, when rice is thrown at a newly wedded pair, we understand the gesture to have a meaning and an object. Sand thrown at the best man misses its mark. Yet, the rice too, is being misused - neither milled, planted, nor boiled. Of course, rice signifies fertility for us. It resembles (indeed is) a seed. It is small and easily handled. It is light and lands lightly on its targets. It is plentiful and easily come by. And it is cheap. In short, rice is like three cheers, good luck, and God speed. Rice is like language. Similarly, when we swear we say we let off steam by throwing out words at someone or something. 'Fuck you' I mutter to the backside of the traffic cop, though I am innocent of any such intention." - William Gass
"Here's a slow kill on the yellow.
Here, here and here.
Remember: a slow kill may have enough left in 'em to kill you before he dies. With a cripple you know you've got 'em if you keep your distance and wear him down."
