[quote name='wotnwhy' post='117994' date='Jan 10 2008, 05:06 PM']wow, it's already happening, and in a 'love' thread?
bye bye *waves goodbye to thread*[/quote]
We all need to chill out an go "Om..Om..." a lot.
To be serious for a moment, and in case my last post was misconstrued. I think all forms of music are valid, whether I “get them” or not. [i]Generally speaking[/i], I don’t much enjoy Jazz and regard jazz funk as pointless. As I said, I don’t really "get" Jazz but love funk, and think combining the two is a bit like mixing chocolate and fish for lunch. That doesn’t mean I’m right it doesn’t mean I’m wrong, it’s not even a question of taste, it’s just a matter of opinion.
What I do enjoy is the range of (sometimes) passionately held opinions on this forum and the humour about it, whether or not I agree with them. Having enjoyed the I Hate Jazz thread and seeing the havoc that caused, we get a thread called I Love Jazz, which immediately starts the same arguments from a different direction, I think its great !!
Having said all that, and just to prove I don’t know what I’m talking about, the most [i]powerful[/i] (whatever that means) music I’ve ever seen was Miles Davies at the Festival Hall a year or so before he died, which although Jazz was really hairs up on the back of the neck jaw dropping.
So what I’m saying is enjoy, treat all this as fun, and keep an open mind
Love to all, whatever you like !
