Actually, man, I've been thinking of you -- how there could be an amusement park -- SixFlagsOpoulos -- that catered to your needs. One ride would be called The Scandal. Another would be called I Bail on Bill. A third would be called The Backstabber. Next, one could ride Careerism of the Former Aide. Throw in My Role in the Cataclysm and All I Want to Do Is Profit -- and that would be a cogent retelling of your professional life, in amusement park rides. Happy sledding, DoucheBagOpoulos. -------------------------------------------------------------BADAN / DANIEL GUTSTEINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440571794661801261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371137905089559599.post-33414246831574004342012-02-21T05:55:27.678-08:002012-02-21T05:55:27.678-08:00Special A&P -- I appreciate your kind words, a...Special A&P -- I appreciate your kind words, and agree with your thinking, there, The, The Goose. A 1970 to present list would be difficult, but do-able. I'm not the man for that, sadly, as I really don't know enough about them years in American tunes. But stopping at 1970 had other advantages, too -- allowed me to focus on the jazz musicians, as jazz is the backbone of, virtually, everything. ---------------------------------------BADAN / DANIEL GUTSTEINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440571794661801261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371137905089559599.post-66597378286101758882012-02-21T05:43:58.935-08:002012-02-21T05:43:58.935-08:00A good list, Dan.

I agree that skill is sort of an irrelevant criteria for judgment of "importance" or "greatness"--foremost is that an artist produces a cultural offering that, at some point, simply could not be ignored. Stopping at 1970 is also a good idea keeping in mind the theory that, in order for such grand pronouncements to be made about an artist/work/movement/idiom/etc., sufficient *time* must have elapsed. Nice piece of writing man, you the shit!LAudaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173568238517453039noreply@blogger.com
