I will now attempt to conquer the internet. My fans, throughout the years, have been asking more and more of me. They would say things like, "Sure he can juggle...but can he peel an orange without his hands?" or, "Well, the accordion's nice and all but how's his Robert Goulet impression?" Blogging, I'm told, is the next great frontier yet to be conquered and sucked dry of all possible resources and usefulness. So here I am, on the precipice of something. I think I'll start with a topic I'm very familiar with and that I feel very passionate about: jazz.
No one cares about it except the people that play it.
Everyone thinks jazz musicians are snobs...this is true.
No matter how good a jazz musician you are, you WILL have to join a cover band to make any money at all.
Music jokes are only funny in an ironic sense. A dominant chord going to a diminished chord is hardly the work of The Marx Brothers.
Our whole lives lead up to the day we can pay off our student loans and finally relax with a nice cozy mortgage.
There you have it! All you need to know about jazz! I hope this has shed some light on some of the crushing stereotypes cast upon jazz musicians. We are a proud race of delusional idiots who never grow up.

well put, sir
I didn't realize this was Greg until just now. Johnson you owe me still god damnit.
Rosen, I believe this post needs a follow up. To many jazz is the sexy smooth sounds coming from Kenny G's soprano sax softly coming from the speakers at their dentist. There is more to jazz than this and I believe the public deserves to know.
dave thats a great idea. mostly because i'm having a hard time thnking of more shit to write about haha.
