Tom Storer Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Time to replicate this long-standing thread on Jazz Corner to Organissimo... Sometimes people say things in their posts that are just great, and I always wish I could remember them all. Let this thread be the place to store quotes from posts. Please, don't post frivolous stuff of your own, just other people's pithy words, with full attribution! I'll start with this one: Byas could play the telephone book as long as he played it real slow. - randyhersom, post #1 in Music Discussion > Miscellaneous Music > Amalia Rodriguez and Don Byas - Encontro, Mommy, what's a Fado?, June-20th-2008, 10:29 PM GMT+1.

RDK Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 One might think this another Chewy quote, but it was actually a "review" on the ol' Blue Note website and my sig line for several years. Not quite in the spirit of the thread, but nevertheless... "If you donot have tis album, you are stupid ass-donkey moron who no like jazz!!!" Quote

Tom Storer Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Posted August 7, 2008 I mean, really, we cut music education funding in schools for a couple decades while at the same time creating technology which makes it possible for anybody to make music out of any combination of 1s & 0s they can get their hands on, and then when people start feeling the creative urge and use the tools they have at hand, the old guard freaks out. Well DUH, bitches, what the hell did you think was going to happen? That motherfuckers were going to save up and pay to play with those 1s & 0s? That they would forevermore suck your dicks instead of finding some nice, friendly place to put their own? These are people, remember, and people gonna do what people gonna do. Eventually. When they get able. And now, it seems, they are able. You'd think that a society built on/by centuries of superimposing itself over preexisting cultures on their land, with no particular regard for established ownerships and customs (and no, this is not a dis or anything, it's just a recognition of How The West Was Won, and I've been getting through 100 + degree days not all that upset about any of that, thank you), would recognize the inevitability of what is happening rather than being outraged at having its own essential impetus held up to itself as a sign of its self-created changing of the guard. Guess not. - JSngry, post #5 in Music Discussion > Miscellaneous Music > Stealing Is Believing, D.J. uses "fair use" concept to break the law, Aug-7th-2008, 04:03 PM GMT+1. Quote
