Upcoming / #1 Fan The Old Bull
Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 3:02 PM
Have you read Paul Constant's ode to Jay-Z yet? It is great.
An old bull and a young bull are standing at the top of a hill, looking down at the herd below. The young bull turns to the old bull and blurts out: "Hey! I got an idea. Let's run down this hill and fuck one of those cows!" There's a pause, and then the old bull finally says: "Listen, kid, I've got a better idea. Let's walk down this hill and fuck all of those cows." It's not the kind of joke that would make anyone except the very drunk or the exceedingly imbecilic laugh out loud. But the older I get, the more I realize that, like the cliché goes, this joke is funny because it's true. And it's impossible to understand Jay-Z without realizing first that he is the old bull in this joke.
Jay-Z plays tomorrow night at Key Arena.
