Regardless of what "side" you feel you need take, I felt Quincy's candidness to be refreshing in our age of political correctness and participation trophies.
When interesting people are interviewed these days, it unfortunately has a tendency to end up being a lovefest of underhand tosses (take David Letterman's current show on Netflix as a prime example of this). Regardless of Quincy's personal condition or state of mind at the time and regardless of where you stand on his statements, he gave a fascinating interview. But, as it usually goes in today's world, people got their feelings hurt and it ends with Quincy making a public apology and looking like a horrible person.
Not everyone in life is happy-go-lucky and charming... and everyone doesn't have to love everyone else. Many times on this planet, fantastic things are the byproduct of people being spiteful and tearing others down. If you're unhappy knowing how the sausage is made (especially in the entertainment business), don't read what bold, candid people like Quincy Jones have to say because it may make you uncomfortable.
