The Milk of Human Kindness
from Creem magazine, Oct 1986
Successfully making the transition from summer stock and TV sitcoms to
music videos is Buttermilk, a seasoned guernsey actress. The bovine scene-stealer
appears in Jane Siberry's vid for "One More Color," the first single from
her LP, The Speckless Sky.
Buttermilk's list of credits is impressive: in addition to a
stage role in George Orwell's Animal Farm, she's appeared on Green Acres,
Mr. Ed and -- most recently -- Let's Make A Deal. It may be premature
to classify her with Elsie, but there's no doubt ol 'Milk's made the most
substantial cow contribution to rock since Elvis sang a boogie-tribute
to her race and Alison Moyet sang anything.
Rockers wishing to make hay while the sun shines can contact
the attractive farm animal at (213) 469-2411. In light of her inexplicable
exclusion from Farm Aid and the cover of the latest Smiths' album, sanguine
critics fear her agents may be negotiating with McDonald's in an attempt
to expose Ms. 'Milk to as wide an audience as possible.
