Yeah. It must be hard being a no name musician man. What you jealous that
you ain't got no success? Deal with it!!! So you have musical chops.
Cool. I can dig it. But don't lay all your bullshit on me. As someone who
is closer to you in terms of age, I think you should consider where you
are coming from in terms of 'new musics'. If you don't like acid jazz,
cool, I can understand that. If some of the acid jazz musicians don't
play like John Coltrane or Wayne Shorter or ben Webster or Johnny hodge
or Dizzy Gillespie, that's cool. They don't pretend to do that shit. But
don't waste my f###ing time with young musos can't cut it and the
bullshit about the good old days. That's crap!!!!!
Good music has never just been about musical technique. if it wass just
a case of technique I would listen to Return For Ever or to Frank Zappa
or to Larry Carlton or to Pat Metheny. If I want music that moves and
grooves me I listen to Earth, Wind and Fire, George Clinton, James
Brown, Gradmaster Flash, Eric B and Rakim, Public Enemy, Brand New
Heavies, Digable Planet, De La Soul because as well as musical technique
the motherfuckers can swing because they have rhythmn, soul and pizzazz
borne out of the Afro American experience. Mozart had technique but he
don't half move me as much as Ndea Davenport.
So get off you f***ing high horse, get off this list and stop wasting out
time. If you want to be a baby booming dead head that's cool, just don't
bore us with the details of your own neuroses. What is it that Sly Stone
samg? 'Different strokes for different folks'
over and out
