	RollingStone.com: Sun, Moon & Herbs : Dr. John : Review
		John has a glorious ear with a logic all its own that mixes ragtime with funeral marches with Haitian congas with Creole dialect with sinister stage whispers–all the authentic echoes of Storyville violence and torchlit rites on Lake Ponchartrain are there, artfully jumbled into a vibrant, personal evocation of New Orleans culture.
		John taperecorded one of the traditional songs his little daughter sings, turned it around a little, threw in a women's chorus and his own this - is - what - a - rattle - snake-would - sound - like - if - a - rattlesnake - could - talk voice.
		John is nearly in the same league as Leon Russell as a leader of session musicians, but once again he doesn't have enough material to lead them through.

	Prester John (Fantastic Four/Black Knight/Thor/Deadpool/Cable character)
		Prester John then set out to use the Evil Eye to replicate the splendors of his kingdom- a "sea" of sand, a waterless river of stones, a wall fire with a giant salamander.
		Prester John served as one of the Four Muses that inspired Eurth, bequeathing to it the memory of a shining realm forgotten.
		It's also generally accepted that the so-called "Letter of Prester John" which was sent to many of the courts of Europe in 1165 was nothing more than a clever hoax which may have been meant to boost the morale of the Christians of the crusader states in the Holy Land.

		The slave story of High John the Conqueror, who was said to be an African prince who resisted servitude, was told and retold so many times it incorporated tales of resistance and revolt from other cultures, such as the coyote trickster of Native American tradition.
		The High John that Hurston created is a complex figure, at once historical, mythological, magical and prophetic, and it is these multiple characteristics Flowers says he is "riffing on" in his latest work.
		For another, like the High John of his latest novel, Flowers stands at the crossroads of the past and the future, deeply influenced by artistic ancestors and folk traditions and at the same time a tireless experimenter, seeking new directions in both literature and music.

		John, said to be the son of an African king, was in captivity, but he never became subservient, and his cleverness at tricking his master supplied many a story with a pointed moral.

	Amazon.com: The Conqueror (1956): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Of the 220 persons who worked on "The Conqueror" at least 91 had contracted cancer by the early 1980s and over half that number died of it, including stars Wayne, Hayward, and Morehead, and director Dick Powell (Armend?riz committed suicide when learning he was terminally ill).
		As the most curious film in John Wayne's career it deserves to be seen at least once by both his fans and those who are just curious about one of the oddest bits of Hollywood history.
		The supporting cast in "The Conqueror", is certainly second to none with the great Agnes Moorehead playing Temujin/Genghis Khan's mother Hunlun in a very effective style and she probably has the best makeup of any of the caucasian actors in the cast.

	The Straight Dope: Did John Wayne die of cancer caused by a radioactive movie set?
		The Conqueror, a putative love story involving Genghis Khan's lust for the beautiful princess Bortai (Hayward), was a classic Hollywood big budget fiasco, one of many financed by would-be movie mogul Howard Hughes.
		Originally director Powell wanted to get Marlon Brando for the lead, but John Wayne, then at the height of his popularity, happened to see the script one day and decided he and Genghis were meant for each other.
		For various reasons he withdrew The Conqueror from circulation, and for years thereafter the only person who saw it was Hughes himself, who screened it night after night during his paranoid last years.
