I've always felt resentful of some scholar or teacher or yeah, some damn expert telling me what is good music. This series isn't helping. I like what I like, I don't give a crap what some university professor, or even another musician tells me is "magic" or "genius," marvelous," "innovative" or what-the-fuck ever. I don't like listening to jazz musicians jam frantically and I don't like this Charlie Parker, and I have a feeling that Miles Davis jamming ain't my thing either. I don't care if I don't have an appreciation of how revolutionary they were, I don't want to watch sausage being made.
So sue me.
I'll leave audience space for those who love to watch musicians in their pissing contests.
I like rollercoasters and I like music, just not at the same time. I'm watching this lengthy documentary for the history, and audio/video of some of my favorites and I am enjoying it for the most part.
