alocispepraluger102 posted a topic in Miscellaneous Music
critics have problems, too "Jazz writers are a bunch of kids who don’t know anything about the music; also, they are a bunch of old men who haven’t liked anything new since Bird died. They live to put musicians down; this explains why they let record companies bribe them (sometimes outright, sometimes through paying them to do liner notes) never to write anything negative about anybody. By this means, among others, jazz writers get rich off the work of musicians. Nobody publishes in jazz magazines worth reading, though, because there isn’t any audience that will pay to read one. Quite a few people who like jazz don’t like jazz writers. Some resent it when any of us dislikes anything about jazz. A surlier and somewhat larger group is more demanding: they want us to extol all the music they like and detest all the music they detest, and they send a stream of letters to jazz reviewers. Others seem to fell that we could improve world conditions by taking professional vows of poverty. A more sympathetic lot merely wishes that we were better at what we do: more careful, more thoughtful, less devoted to profiles and capsule reviews and more inclined to serious analysis. This group may or may not be outnumbered by those who find the very nature of our work useless at best, harmful at worst. The caricature at the head of this column is a thoroughly unfair composite of opinions from members of all these groups. I will now demonstrate that every word of it is true." -

no. unfortunately, one of their gas ovens exploded one morning while the owner was lighting it. and the he spent perhaps a year in hospital with 70% burns. that morning he had smelled gas and the gas company inspector assured him that they were safe. the owners resurrected their business and it's been thriving perhaps 15 years since.

article "Milestone: Integrity – and a Sense of Place Why AnnArbor.com is the wrong model for the Times-Picayune BY MARY MORGANJUNE 2, 2012 at 12 pm "Last month, news broke that owners of the New Orleans Times-Picayune are planning a major restructuring of that publication. The message arrived in Ann Arbor with an eerie familiarity. The same folks owned the former Ann Arbor News, a newspaper they closed in order to create a new company called AnnArbor.com. A place is more than a mark on a map. These marks denote places called Ann Arbor (green), New Orleans (blue) and New York (pink). The familiar part of the news includes severe staff reductions at the Times-Picayune and a shift in focus to online delivery, cutting back its printed edition to three days a week. David Carr of the New York Times reported that changes at the Times-Picayune apparently would be modeled after the transformation in Ann Arbor. The Newhouse family – whose media holdings include the publications in Ann Arbor and New Orleans, among dozens of others nationwide – had made Ann Arbor its testbed for this approach in 2009."

i want to note that zuckerberg did not want to do an ipo with FB and didn't scheme to make a huge amount of money. he wanted to keep it private, but our sec forced fb to go onto the stock market. as i recall. when there are 500+ investors, an ipo must be issued. it appears the stock brokers may have let him down, bigtime. as it is, zuckerberg retains a majority of the voting shares. many of the shares issued were nonvoting b shares. -
it will be little noted, if at all, that faruq z bey, one of our greatest living musicians has passed away. faruq z bey Detroit jazz and avant scenes lose icon in passing of Faruq Z. Bey JUNE 2, 2012 BY W. KIM HERON Faruq Z. Bey, local legend and icon of avant garde music in Detroit, has died after years of emphysema and other ailments. A friend who spoke to Bey regularly last heard from him Thursday and was unable to reach him on Friday. Her concerns lead to other friends entering his residence with police on Saturday and finding that he had died. He was around 70 years old. Bey was the leader of the group Griot Galaxy, a sprawling group into which dozens of musicians fell in and out between 1972 and the time it stabilized mid-decade and slowly distilled to a classic quintet around 1980. With saxophonists Bey, Tony Holland and David McMurray, drummer Tani Tabbal and bassist Jaribu Shahid, the group donned silver face paint and African garb, dubbing themselves a science fiction band. The name harkened to the African traditional bearers of tradition and history, on one hand, and … the reaches of space and the future, on the other. While they were clearly rooted in the jazz avant garde – in artists like John Coltrane, Sun Ra and the Art Ensemble of Chicago – the members of Griot Galaxy were extending that tradition in their own voices and in their collective sound. In fact, with their theatric edge and their penchant for hypnotic, layered rhythm, they were an avant garde group for people who didn’t particularly like the avant garde, or maybe even jazz. They were one of a kind. Sorry if that’s a cliché. But they really were.
