YOGI BERRA ON JAZZ

[paul secor]

"Yogi" makes more sense than most critics.

Funny? Sort of. Genuine? No. This "interview" is a fake, one of many written by people emulating "yogiims" to explain/entertain about a vast array of topics.

[alocispepraluger102]

speaking of yogiisms on our favorite subject, a fine local guitarist with a degree in jazz performance and composition from duquesne university, calls jazz "just another form of masturbation".

[sonnymax]

"Yogiisms": pithy comments and witticisms...[that] very often take the form of either an apparently obvious tautology, or a paradoxical contradiction. I

Jazz isn't masturbation, as your friend so inelegantly claims, but it could arguably be seen by some as "masturbatory" (i.e., excessively self-absorbed or self-indulgent). Then again, the same might be said about an inordinate amount of threads about inconsequential topics that rarely produce meaningful discussion.

Apropos, I have come across an old article that mentions a couple of Yogi-isms.

"My little son can't wait to shave, so he can grow a beard."

At a store selling fishing equipment, a sign advertised, "All the worms you want for a dollar." Yogi asked for $2 worth.

[gmonahan]

My personal favorite Yogism: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
