Kokopellian?

[Nonfatman]

Kokopelli, like Krishna, is one of the one-legged flautists that often appear as deities in the ancient tradition and/or religions of various peoples around the world. Maybe that explains why, at my first Tull show in 1977, I saw two fans, both dressed as the woodcutter from SFTW, parading around with a huge banner, which read, in Gothic script: "Ian Anderson is My God" !

According to Wikipedia:

"Kokopelli is a fertility deity, usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player (often with a huge phallus and feathers or antenna-like protrusions on his head), who has been venerated by some Native American cultures in the Southwestern United States. Like most fertility deities, Kokopelli presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is also a trickster god and represents the spirit of music."

Here, next to a Starbucks signpost in Arizona (!) is the world's largest Kokopelli, also from Wikipedia:

Interesting how the world's largest Kokopelli is a "neutered" one that is situated right next to the what just may be the world's largest Starbucks sign, which also features a mythological creature and that creature has also been made "less naughty", according to the article (see link below) entitled 'How the Starbucks Siren Became Less Naughty"!

First she had breasts with nipples, which they then hid with her hair, still leaving her navel exposed. But now the bastards have gone ahead and taken away the Mermaid's bellybutton!
