FRANCIS DAVIS/CLEMENTINE

[.:.impossible]

I don't know. Tonight is the first time in a long time that I have read this board to any real extent and I just keep coming across picayune criticism of what other people have written in trying to qualify music.

Of course dicotomy is limiting, and I'm sure the writer realized that as well. I think we all realize that the writer is trying to identify with the reader that wants to like the latest Ribot, or such a guitar adaptation of Ayler's music.

All I can hope is that you guys at least have your stereos on when typing these quibbles.

To the guitarists in this thread, it is ok to back down. You know this is one of the silliest things to come into pixel on this site. Just let it be. No need for defense. The statement will dissolve itself it is so watered down.

So do y'all think FD was referring to OUR Clem, defender of the common man?

Hey, I was proud of myself for limiting my response to two posts.

...whoops, make that three.

Not at all.

I will play Joe G on this one.

thank you, Impossible, for understanding Francis's point - and making more sense than anybody else here (including myself) -
