I think that there is nothing so serious in music that you can't make a joke about it. I don't need to dislike something to make jokes at it's expense; many things that I like I will make fun of.

But, I come from the long military tradition of "gallows humour". Sacred cows make the best hamburgers.​

I’m also a fan of so called ‘scorched earth’ comedy

Amen to both! As long as you gore everybodys sacred cow it's good humor. When it all becomes focused on one sacred cow it gets old.

You mean a "Big Cannon" don't ya?

Uh, maybe, maybe not.

I like it. If Miles is the Elvis of Jazz, 'Trane must be the Lennon.

Elvis? At best, I'm the Granicus of jazz.
Oh. That guy. Nevermind.

My tastes in music and comedy can both clear rooms. It's a good talent to have when you want to be alone.

Musicians notoriously have awful taste in music, to non-musicians.

I'm not a musician, I'm a bass player...

John Kruk:

Drive-by: BOC's "Veterans of the Psychic Wars"
Composition, Solid drumming, a guitar break that's a crucial part of the experience, and more. This one's worthy of their first live album.

[fasterpussycat]

I'll be doing a few eons in purgatory for that

Where's that? Guitar Centre bass department after school?

GC guitar department. It's all about shred wanking and loud, random power chords.

And Diana Krall is the Britney Spears of jazz.

 

[Gaolee]

And Diana Krall is the Britney Spears of jazz.

She does some great versions of Tom Waits songs. Which one of my bands shamelessly steal.

 

[PillO]

Wow, all this about jazz.


I know i'm living proof of that.

Here you go - the intersection of humour and jazz - jazz hands.

You mean a "Big Cannon" don't ya?

Ahem.

I have something that will clear a room...........

 

[Inky13]

think Super Bowl..

So, boring with lame music?
Doh! Did I say that out loud?

 

[JJR58]

Random post time. Don't mean to sound a bit blasphemous here. But there is something to be said about lowering Bird pup's, as apposed to raising them. You get this trebley growl. Brought the bridge pup all the way down, and lowered the neck one a bit. Did this on the Bird i got from Scott. The CB's like being lowered. idk.......

There are lots of sacred cows ready for slaughter best to sample from all. But the best burgers come from the most sacred of cows.

Amusing anecdote:
I was in the gulf war and we spent a lot of time training and preparing for chemical warfare (for good reason). We had two canaries - real canaries (might have been budgies actually, but really not material to the story; live birds) - in a cage at the entrance to the hospital. Their names: Nerve and Mustard. Named for the agents with which we expected to be attacked...
