-YIKES!!!, The F- word rears its ugly head. Quite a bit of stale, predictable and uninspired poop finds a home under this umbrella. The only thing that alot of f----n artists create is a hair trigger gag reflex. Some of these fluff peddlers have done a real smear campaign to any instrument they touch, especially the soprano and alto saxophone. (Remember Alex in Clockwork Orange when he listened to Beethoven after the old Ludivicco treatment?)
-Then there's the fact that most artists are only at their peak for a brief period. Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Larry Coryell and lots of other greats have squeezed out some pretty corny stuff. Okay, enough w/the ranting; if you think Coolwhip, Geno's Pizza, Imelda Marcos and the coronation of Geo. W is as good as it gets, don't listen to these:
