Jazz for aficionados

Well, Rok, I know for a lots of places where people on power use the prefix 'democratic', but their actions are far and distant from the needs and will of people (demos).
So, we should drop the story's that were invented to scare litttle children ('trotskyites are coming') and talk about reality which is far more scarier.

As for Rand, I do not excpect that you will read or recommend Chomsky, but you could try somebody more serious. Perhaps Friedrich Hayek?.

Also, I think that if we want to have anything close to 'argumented discussion' we should drop any ideology talk aside.

If that is too much to ask, you should always try to get the sunglasses.

Alex, what you have presented is REALITY, and you have presented it in such a way that no longer can people hide behind words like COMMUNISM or whatever the current "boogy man" word is.

Rok, nothing is more comfortable than having hot buttered popcorn, while watching a good movie; and it's best in a movie theater.

I enjoyed this luxury before the mall closed. It closed for reasons related to that thread I've presented. All of the business closings that happened right around me, also happened all over this country, yet nobody became alarmed, or put the pieces together.

While I can no longer enjoy "a movie buttered bag of popcorn" close by, millions of people all over this country suffered much greater losses. It seems that those who suffered no discomfort, as a result of those events, could care less about those who came upon serious hard times, due to those events.

Your comments, "there will always be poor people, especially in St. Louis" are quite true; but not so many at one time, that's what changes the game, and when every major city in the USA, has the same problem, it's cause for serious concern.

"Nero fiddled, while Rome burned"; we enjoy hot buttered popcorn and a good movie, while the good ole USA goes down the drain.

The most serious aspect of poverty is "culture change"; I am afraid, with good reason, of going back to a neighborhood I lived in for 30 years. When people are born into a world where selling dope is the only way to make a living, we're in trouble.

Since Frogman wouldn't let me get back to our regularly scheduled program, I wonder how does he like this one. But I still say;


Enjoy the music.

Sonny Clark.

Rok, the Sonny Rollins Quartet, with Coltrane was good easy listening jazz with five old pros; that contrast between Rollins and Trane was very interesting, I don't recall hearing both of them together. Red Garland and Paul Chambers made that a perfect outing, I'll have to get it.


Enjoy the music.
