  2. Let's save all the 5th Beatles' houses: Murray the K, Pete Best, Billy Preston, Klaus Voorman--am I forgetting anybody?
  3. Baraka was always a blowhard who never let aesthetics stand in the way of his political agendas. His "disappointment" with Wayne Shorter, in the postscript to his profile in Black Music is one good example of his cluelessness.

  6. Thanks. I just learned something new.
  7. Well, I think he shot himself in the foot then, by passing on the university press. I'm sure he could have gotten his concerns in the introduction. He's also deluded if he thinks his humble effort will have any effect on common usage. In addition, it's a bad move vis a vis jazz scholarship, as he would have had plenty of university library sales of a physical book.
  8. Have you tried Handbrake?

  10. Same effect as linked images that the OP can see, but nobody else can.

  12. Pretty good book, but I find his politically correct neologisms re: race rather annoying, and always breaks the flow of any sentence. No commercial or university press would have accepted his coinages "afram" and "euram", and every time he uses the word race or color it's preceded by "so-called." He should be trying to write the best book about Powell, not trying to change common usage, IMO.

  14. That's how I normally do it too, but I'm studying Portuguese, and a shortcut for a language with lots of accents is to do a spell check after setting the language you want in Word, then you can replace your unaccented words with the suggested corrections.

  23. I love Murphy, and he's by far the more profound singer, but that's apples & oranges.
