Quincy Jones Interview

As someone who spent the first half of his life as a professional musician, musicians often have very definite and sometimes limited views on what they like and don't like.  I have friend who is a chef and she feels the same way about restaurants - very narrow view of what they like and don't like.  Quincy's opinions are just that - his opinions.  OTOH, it's always refreshing to hear someone state what's really on their minds.  It's a very dangerous thing to do if you have anything to lose.  

I've heard his better tongue off the stage and other interviews. I don't think that he was even sober when he was getting viral. 

Great response Chayro, that is just the point, Q's opinions are just that and to read into it more than what it was to me is missing the point. To me, at least it was a series of events that happened and he witnessed. Really, what does an 85 year old guy got to lose? Another point he made that wasn't discussed in the criticism of him was how he stayed connected to his roots of poverty, the empathy towards others, funny how many missed or omitted that point which gave more credence to many of his other opinions. Agreed, the Brando comment would have been better left unsaid. 

Uh, apparently Q hasn’t had much fun. Looks like Marlon Brando was having all the fun.
