emmett miller/dusky stevedore (1929)
emmett miller, a white man singing as a black minstrel as early as 1913, invented burlesque jazz, transvestite blues, second degree country music, ironic rock 'n roll ... as well as transgenre pop music of the 21st century: he was at the same time the beginning and the end of a great commercial art form ....

rio bravo/the ultimate minstrel show?
emmett miller was the beginning and the end of a great commercial expression (country, rock, pop, transvestite factory art, whatever ....) .... and the same goes for rio bravo: beginning and end of a great "art d'usine" called cinema ... in which john wayne is allegorically transforming himself into a fake woman, while angie dickinson goes for male position and male domination and impersonation ....
bert williams (the mississippi stoker, nov 1906), first black minstrel ever to record (beautifully remastered thanks to ARCHEOPHONE records), a black man disguised as a ... black man

emmett miller/sweet mamma (1929)
emmett miller est le début et la fin de la country, du rock, de la pop (comme rio bravo est le chef d'oeuvre ultime de l'art d'usine/cinéma et sa catastrophe annoncée)
tout ça, c'est juste une histoire des travestis ....
