Jazz Musicians We Hate

[AllenLowe]

I've been accused of being too negative on certain threads (of course, that in itself is a negative comment, but we won't get into that now) - I'm going to start a thread here and anyone can join in - the idea is to get it all out of our negative systems, to name, here, jazz musicians we don't like or that we may even hate - the only rule I would propose is that no reasons be give and no arguments pro or con - just names - and I would suggest we avoid the more obvious names like Kenny G - and maybe, if we feel like it, thrown in the name of a non-jazz musician, just to keep it interesting -

I will start:

Marion Meadows

Chuck Folds

I can see I may be alone on this - I know it's not as fascinating as the fart thread - let me add another two:

Richard Nixon (played piano, dropped bombs on innocent people)

Harry Truman (played piano, dropped an atomic bomb on another country, killing innocent people)

[AllenLowe]

Adolph Hitler - played the Jew's Harp (and refused to give it back) -

Curley Howard - bad opera singer -

[AllenLowe]

Phil Grenadier - actually I've never heard him, but I'm trying to keep things rolling here...

[jazzbo]

How can you say that about Trumpet Guy?

Okay. . . I'm not a fan of Moncur III or Hubbard. . . but I don't hate them.

Allen: As long as you don't mention Dex, everything is OK.

[AllenLowe]

well, maybe we don't have to hate - just dislike - and Dexter who?

[AllenLowe]

actually, interestingly enough, Dexter just testified, in a seance, that he agreed with me - here's the link -

I'm running out of names - Justin Guarini -

[king ubu]

[AllenLowe]

now we're getting somewhere...where's ARICEFFRON when I need him?

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Miles Davis

John McLaughlin

Beethoven

Lots of people I don't like, but I can't get worked up about them.

MG

[marcello]

Al Haig

Julius Hemphill

[AllenLowe]

ah, good, I can feel the negativity and hate rising to the surface - thank you Marcello, in particular - those are three everyone can truly agree on -

and let me not forget, as well, to mention YOUR MAMA

I hate this thread.

[.:.impossible]

wow.

[AllenLowe]

that's good - let it out -

[AllenLowe]

this thread is especially illuminating - when someone like Marcello, who has complained of my negativity, manages to insult not just me but two dead people to whom I was very close - thank you for proving my point, Marcello -

[AllenLowe]

what it shows is that everybody hates negativity until they get the chance to go after someone they're pissed off at - in this case Marcello saw his opportunity and went for it - thank you again, Marcello - experiment over -

Give in to your hatred!

.... says Allen.

[.:.impossible]

So that's what this was all about.

This thread should never have been started in the first place. I guess we all have different opinions of a message board's value. I'm pretty sure the majority of the members at this message board would agree that this thread is way outside of what organissimo is about.

IT'S A SETUP! THEY WERE ALL TWIX!

[brownie]

There are a number of musicians I don't like, none that I hate!

Too many good musicians I enjoy to bother about the ones I don't like -_-

[AllenLowe]

well - if Organnissimo is about an open discussion of our opinions on music and culture, than we cannot exclude discussion of the means and style of that expression - so this is certainly not outside of Organissimo's mission - certainly it's closer than the Farting thread or the naked-women-on-the-cover thread (both of which I enjoy) -
