Pressed to clarify this difference, Bourne's explanation was ambiguous. It goes without saying that Afro-American rhythm, "soul" rhythm, differs from "white" rhythm. Bourne's argument that just as soul rhythm can be heard in music, it can be applied to and seen in film was murky. He readily agreed that his thesis was vague, blaming it on the fact that the concept itself...
Javelin Catcher. The Laugh-In producers put together a whole hour of such material, a sort of all-black Laugh-In called Soul, which NBC ran as a special earlier this season. In a typical bit, Redd Foxx told Slappy White of the first Negro athletic-scholarship winner at the University of Mississippi -"He's a javelin catcher." White observed that Oct. 27 is a Negro holiday - "That's the day when the new Cadillacs come out."

My claim to a more immortal soul than a goat's is not strong enough to justify me in eating the goat...
...technical work not listed was done by the cast." My god, I thought, if they're all willing to do that much work, what will they expect from an audience? At worst they would have us changing sets, at best, we might be forced into some sort of soul-baring dialectic. Feeling vaguely exhausted before the plays began, I just wanted to be left alone, to be permitted to formulate my own thoughts, to remain part of an anonymous audience...
