| Jazz for aficionados The media, politicians; to name two. | |

| Jazz for aficionados ****I will have to do a lot more listening to Bowie, before I can do anymore talking about him. I think I might like this guy. I dismissed the first clip sent by Acman3. It was not representative and obviously done in jest. ****Does this mean you ... | |
