Forum Overview :: No Stairway to Heaven :: Re: Hey, Roop, what do you think of the latest tempest in a teapot about jazz?

[quote name="Oom Shnibble"][quote name="skip"]... it's funny to read Deadspin call jazz and classical "eat-your-broccoli art", because the only people I hear bitch about vegetables are kids or fatties. [/quote] Shit man. This sucks. I can apreciate Jazz but I just can't bring myself to enjoy it. Then again 10 years ago I would have said that about real blues but over the last few years I've found myself absolutely crazy about good old fashioned Mississippi Delta Blues. I'm absorbing the stuff like a sponge. Anyone who rips on American culture obviously doesn't appreciate Southern Blues and what it has done for all music since. Maybe when I am in my 60's I'll get to the point where I can appreciate Jazz as I do Blues[/quote]
