Hunter S. Thompson: In Regards To Music
H.S.THere's what he said:
Robert Zimmerman
Bob DylanBuy me a flute And a gun that shoots, tailgates, and substitutes. Strap yourself to the tree with roots. You ain’t goin’ nowhere
Quote
Trey AnastasioNothing I see can be taken from me.
The Harder They Come
Jimmy CliffSo as sure as the sun will rise, I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine. And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall. One and all.
Dave Brubeck
Dave Brubeck/Wynton Marsalis/John BlakeThis egalitarian tradition in jazz -- everyone is equal on the bandstand -- has led some to compare it to democracy. The jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis once said that nothing captures the democratic process as perfectly as jazz. "Jazz means working things out musically with other people. You have to listen to other musicians and play with them even if you don't agree with what they're playing. It teaches you the very opposite of racism and anti-Semitism. It teaches you that the world is big enough to accommodate us all."
