JAZZ

I've always wondered if people who claim to enjoy it are doing so simply for effect. Seriously, is there anything remotely enjoyable about this style of music? Sometimes it makes for decent background noise in a noir type film, but that's about as many props as I can give it. I believe it is music meant for the brain as opposed to the soul, but what the fuck do I know? While I definitely appreciate and respect the talent of all the great musicians who have devoted their lives to it, it still just kind of leaves me cold. My unscientific opinion is that white liberal guilt has a lot to do with its fanbase. But then, there are so many phenomena we can attribute to that particular quirk, aren't there?
