  5. Fun while it lasted. Anyway, Woodson sounds like he has a plan for success -- I definitely prefer defensive-minded coaches -- but one that has no chance of actually succeeding given the players he has and the Knicks management. Woodson will finish out the year. Then Dolan will bring in a "name" coach - and not Phil Jackson - he's too smart to buy into the Knicks' insanity. If Dolan can't buy a "name", it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Isiah return.

  7. Hm. "The workers will only be freed by their own efforts" (Anarcho-syndicalism motto) But I do agree about the dumbass liberals. (And we're two on the left, Allan ) Oh well, anyway, I spent most of my time on the board on Wednesday reading this thread. Pretty nice thread, to start off with. So to get back to Amiri Baraka, I came across his writing first in the sleeve notes for Willis Jackson's 'Thunderbird'. Much nostalgia from Leroi there about the time of the honkers. And I always had the feeling that these were the first revolutionaries - who totally disregrded the 'white' rules of taste and playing 'properly' - who were his heroes. And not just musical heroes. Soon after I read the 'Thunderbird' notes, I came across a short story of his in an anthology of new American writing. The story was called 'The screamers'. The anthology was all, as far as I know, fiction and I thought 'The screamers' was fiction, too, because it was about a honking Chicago tenor player I'd never heard of - Lynn Hope. But when I found out Hope was a real person - and a Muslim back in the day - I had second thoughts, though I still don't know if the story - of Hope coming to Newark to play and walking the band right out of the dancehall ionto the streets and inciting a riot in the city was an account of a real event or something Amiri would have liked to have happened. MG You answered your own question. As you say, "The Screamers" is fiction. If that event had happened, Baraka would no doubt have included it in Blues People or in another of his books about music.

  11. Actually, what they need is an owner who will trade both of their lazy asses for players who are willing to play team ball - which means playing defense, among other things. As many have pointed out, Dolan ain't that guy and never will be.

  13. When you have Carmelo and Amare on the floor, 40% of your players are not playing defense. Simple as that.
  14. Still have my LP. Beautiful music.

  16. They never did. 'antoni (I call him that - no D) should have forced Dolan's hand by sitting Anthony. Dolan would have been forced to fire him and all the onus would have been on Dolan. Not that he would care.

  20. And how many people might buy a Mosaic set who didn't vote on Facebook or on the Mingus site? And...? Whatever happens will happen.
  21. My doctor says I have signs of early cataracts and early macular degeneration. Typical for my age, according to him. The macular hasn't changed in the past two years, which is a good sign. I'm trying to take care of my hearing as best I can. Losing sight would be a bitch. If I lost my hearing, I don't know if I'd want to go on.
  22. I can't see this image ( likewise for Clifford's post ) , anyone else have the same problem ? Can't see Clifford's, but brownie's comes through ok. Did a search and Clifford's image seems to be a non-U.S. edition of Ornette's Free Jazz.
