The teensiest little Dharma-Burger…

Think of it as a “Dharma-Slider,” maybe…

At any rate, in this video of Steve Martin doing his best Michael Jackson/”Billie Jean” the “video credits” at the end link this song to “Poly Sutra Records” — the Pali Sutras being are the literal words of the Buddha. Why he chose to make this pun derived from “PolyGram Records” is a mystery — he could have gone for Poly Ester, or Poly Amorous, or whatever. But that’s Steve for you; he’s our most intellectual goofball.

Nothing momentous here, but hey, it’s Steve Martin as MJ, on The Worst Horse.

    Not such a mystery, Horse. “Poly Sutra” = “Polygram” + “Kama Sutra” – “Kamagram”!

    Your elders would remember such Kama Sutra Records artists as Charlie Daniels, Brewer & Shipley, and The Lovin’ Spoonful. Hope I’m not over the line here.

    No love for the Michael/Janet Jackson video Scream? It has blatant buddhist images.
