From the new book "The Curse of 1920"  : http://thecurseof1920.com/P10%20Rock%20and%20Roll.htm
Technically, I think the author uses "jazz" as an umbrella term for "black music", but that's not much better.

Apparently he's not a fan of women's rights either. Good for him, must take a lot of "courage" to speak out against that. |

Interesting bit on divorce, blaming womens' rights for the rising divorce rate. It's almost like he somehow missed the obvious statistic that the highest divorce rates belong to religious fundamentalists like himself. |

I'm clearly ignorant or brainwashed. |

The Mississippi brought jazz from NO to St. Louis and Chicago, where it then made its way to New York. But that statement does sound like someone thinks that the Mississippi empties into the Hudson... |

Me I prefer Sly Stone view... Different strokes for different folks.

Looking at how clear the blue state/red state thing is. Hell in Washington it's one side of the mountains vs the other in the same state. Opposite feelings on the same issue. |

This guy does not speak for me and I am a Christian.
