Bull In The Heather
 

What exactly does "betting on the bull in the heather mean?"

racing? That's what the video would suggest but surely there's more to it than that.

it's a horse name. kim betted on him in some horse races

i think it's the same horse that's found in the liner notes for experimental jetset.

this is my mom's favorite sonic youth song.

i dont think the the "bull in the heather" portion of the song has anything to do with the rest of it

Thankyou so much for your answers...I thought I was going to catch a lot of crap for such a silly question...Thanks!! :)

I always thought it ment some kind of long shot, far fetched thing.

Always thought it related to the cover of Sister, the picture of these ruminants in the tall grass, thus meaning betting on the Sonic Youth (they're 4, Lee, Kim, Thurston, with Steve in the background). Not kidding.

ohhh, i always though those were just weird cows.

now that i look at it. they look like punkers! with their hair all in their faces

those cows are more metal than punk. they've even got the horns to prove it.

How come that girl in the left corner is blacked out in on my CD?

she's blacked out on mine also. this is the original LP cover. i think it was some coppyright issue bullshit

I don't think they did an very good job of UPC-ing the Disney thing. Like we can't tell? That CD cover/back has always intrigued me, though. Good stuff.

It's a reference to a big ol' peen.

i don't know if this is mentioned, but a "heather" is a type of bush, i beleive
