Foreign cowpats needed!

[LMcD]

Perhaps the reference to cowpats is an example of 'nostalgie de la boue'.
Even 'Cool Briiannia' now requires a recherche for a temps perdu.

As someone (I can't now recall who) once said, "oh for those far-off days of Boulez, Stockhausen, Nono and the Darmstadt "school" of the 1950s and early 1960s!"...

It wasn't me - though it could well have been!

Nostalgia is sometimes seen as a means of escaping from the present by means of a distorted idealisation of the past; I suppose this is all right as long as the past in question was being lived fully in the present at the time?

It's a pity that a silly comment by Peter Warlock should have been prolonged and repeated even to this day. The "cow looking over a gate" comment did not used the word "cowpat"; this came later.
