BtZ42/10 The color red

[János Széky]

Five uses in this section (that I can count):
- Red (Malcolm X), 63V
- Red Devil lye (sodium hydroxide), 67V
- Red River Valley (68V)
- Reds (who "want to take it all away (68V)
- Toro Rojo (69V)

As for the latter: both the Marvel Comic figure El Toro Rojo and the energy
drink (from Southeast Asia -> Austria) came much later. But: for a long
time I understood the line "Mad bull lost its way' in Gimme Shelter (1969)
as "Red Bull lost its way". Maybe because there's the color red in the
previous line ("Burns like a red coal carpet"). Is there any significance
of Red Bull in Mexican folklore?
