AllenLowe

I take it back - now the truth can be told - 7/4 has been posting as Allen Lowe - he hijacked my PC - worst thing is that now I have to pay for all these porn subscriptions -

well, it is true that jazz is sort of a cultural backdrop - different, however, from a true focus -

"Why Allen and 7/4 can't mature a bit and stop goading Gould." sorry Jim, I do believe you are using what I would call relativist thinking, as though the same standard can be applied to all of our responses - nothing I posted about D.G. was anything but a reference, in the spirit of parody and satire, to the awful things he says here - you act as though it's a co-equal incident, when it is far from that - neither 7/4 nor I are the ones that continually feel the need to intervene in threads to tell people how stupid they are - it would be one thing if we simply taunted him for the hell of it, which we do not - it is ENTIRELY another thing when our posts are responses to what we perceive as his cloddishness and boorishness - sorry, it ain't the same thing as D.G.'s constant hit and run - HOWEVER, since I enjoy this forum even more than playgroup, I think it is time to let sleeping dog's lie...........................

not for me, thanks - the shots of the dead are, to me, a violation of privacy - of both the dead and the mourners of the dead - too much for me - as though turning one more private thing into a public spectacle - your mileage may vary, as the saying goes; hits too close to home for me -

somehow nobody seems to be reading Larry's posts here - what we are making light of is NOT the abuse of animals, but of the assumption that Larry's focus was on the idea of abuse as humorous - which it was not - and further, what I'm getting at is the ultimate silliness of a certain poster getting so self-righteous that he completely missed the idea, to the point of self-parody -

well, we could also smoke the dog - hard part is keeping him lit -

well, I'm impersonating Gould as Cosmo Topper -

but first, in order to anesthetize the cute furry little thing, have it smoke a marijuana cigarette - this will insure that, in accordance with ASPCA regulations, it feels no pain - please be sure, as well, to reward it with a brownie snack -

oh, go eat fecal matter and than expire -

he worships the quicksand I walk on -

wipe it up with a puppy -

Dan - in case you missed it, my comments about "left unedited" were in RESPONSE to your nastiness to Durium, who posted a very nice notice about something of jazz interest - and to which you responded by doing nothing but making GRAMMATICAL corrections - what goes around comes around -

Dan's recent query to Larry Kart: "Do you find animal abuse amusing?" is this an appropriate question -

he should be banned for his last post - and if it calls for banning me too, that's fine, I'll go down with the ship - and before everybody freaks out, read the thread from which Dan cut and pasted into this thread - it was a typical Gould hit and run performance, cast an insult and than go hide -

by the way, since this has angered someone, let me note that I was kidding about being sent this by 7/4 - it is a reference to a certain habit commented upon in other threads -

well, Dan, thank you for proving my point - you have already called me a fuckwad, and pushed a "fuck you" at me when I disagreed with you in a previous thread - you continually insinuate yourself into threads only in order to insult people and show how nasty you can be - you are a classic bully, and I refuse to stand down to your meanness and your threatening behavior -

this was just sent me by 7/4: WRITER ARRESTED FOR CUTE PUPPY INSULT Lawrence Kart, former writer for Downbeat and the Chicago Tribune, was arrested today by homeland security forces and charged with making threats against cute puppies. Florida Homeland Security, notified of the incident by a "D. Gould," notified the Chicago branch, who took Kart into custody this morning and charged him with a breach of American tradition. "Mr. Kart should know by now that we take this stuff seriously," said Detective Effron of the local Red Squad. "And we would like to issue a public thank you to Mr. Gould, whoever he is; of late he has turned in not only this fugitive jazz writer, but has given us useful tips about a dangerous guy in Maine, a sinister Danish 'foreigner' living on the West Side of New York City, and a bunch of other bad guys who seem to frequent a subversive website about jazz and make negative comments about America, Dick Cheney, and Scott Hamilton. For his trouble, we are giving Mr. Gould a free subscription to the New York Post." Gould, reached in his Florida hideaway, had "no comment" except to say: "Being Dan Gould is never having to say you're sorry."

don't worry Larry, Gould enjoys telling anyone, in his hungover way, that whatever they think is interesting is bad - he can abuse humans on this board, but puppies are a no-no- of course, this begs the question, was it mentholated marijuana?

actually, by 6 Degrees of Separation, EVERYTHING in jazz is connected to Phil Schaap -

Free for All - that was Chuckles the Clown -

let us bear in mind that pop culture is many different things, from comic books to television to films and music - so most of us here have much more than just a passing interest -

I'm still bitter...

Metheny can play - it's that Lyle Mays whose playing I find execrable -

Harold was bemused by Tesh's attitude - the guy actually thinks he's a signficant musician -

best sound is still from various older Columbia LPs - there's one particular old gatefold LP that is astounding -
