'Horses' is forty three years old this year (Way to feel REALLY old!) and yup, I bought it when it came out. I was at Artschool and a friend at the painting department played it one afternoon and I was lost. A seminal moment like Astral Weeks and Electric Ladyland! 

"The boy looked at Johnny, Johnny wanted to runBut the movie kept moving as plannedThe boy took Johnny, he pushed him against the lockerHe drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in JohnnyThe boy disappeared, Johnny fell on his kneesStarted crashing his head against the lockerStarted crashing his head against the lockerStarted laughing hysterically
When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded byHorses, horses, horses, horses . . . . . . . . . . "
