Stop spamming this thread with awful "music".

You're an old man listening to teenager music, that would explain why you have the mental capacity of a teenager!

@brocktonblockbust I bet Beanz still sports torn up jeans and a "Devil Lock" to feel young BWAHAHAHA

I hope you don't embarrass your daughter or granddaughter trying to act like a 13 year old

"Loud, aggressive music is good in small doses, but if you indulge too much it will rot your brain, corrupt your palate and turn you into a lazy communist (especially if you listen to too much punk rock)."



That is what you said and so I was merely responding to that. I know you may want to appear sophisticated like Lyle and your fellow alt right hipsters but as you get older you realise that it matters very little what other people think about you. Here you are posting stuff from the 1950's and castigating me for listening to something that not only did I grow up listening, to but something that i grew up playing. Only last year I covered the Clash track that I posted on here and everyone else in that band was at least 5 years older than me, but guess what? it doesn't matter. Who said you had to sell your principles and wear slippers when you get older ?. That is bollocks that old conservative farts like you, old before their time, insist you have to do to fit in. Well I never fitted in mate and that is why I am successful doing what I do. It has given me opportunities and friendships that are priceless and worth more than all the qualifications and money I have ever earned.

I get to do what I love every day and have never stopped learning because of it. The ethos of Punk is to Do It Yourself and that applies to anything whether you are a chippy, actor, musician, filmmaker, whatever..stop pontificating and do it. Why the binary rubbish ? Most of the other Americans on here are nothing like you. Did it never cross your mind that people might like Charlie Mingus AND The Sex Pistols ?

Corrupt your palate ?

You don't get very far if you are lazy whether you are a musician or laborer the principle is the same you get your head down and work hard at whatever you do, but don't stand still and never stop learning even if that is ideas from people younger than you.

Come on Beanz, who are you trying to peddle that clap trap to? The ethos of punk rock was to play music even though you can't play your instrument (like Sid Vicious), and channel your teenage angst into ill-thought lyrics because you're too young to know anything about how the world works.

People usually grow out of that shit and learn how to channel their energy into something productive! Not just listen to loud music and call everyone a Nazi or a Fascist.

Punk rock is a young person's game and when an adult clings so vehemently to it, he's desperately trying to cling to a long-passed time when he didn't have to use his brain. This person does not want to evolve. It's very sad. You're like a pensioner going to a high school party There's nothing sadder than an old punk.

It's a shame how certain posters took a beautiful thread about a jazz legend and turned it into yet another bitch fest. I guess that's all certain people have in their lives is some conflict on a forum. They feel like they're really moving the needle of life if they post a bunch of lame insults and unlistenable punk rock in a jazz thread.

Guys if I'm craving attention, I'll spend some time with my wife, kids or friends. I don't come onto a forum and try to antagonize people just so they'll pay attention to me. A certain poster really needs to look in the mirror and re-evaluate his life

Take a deep breath. If you are going to open a thread with stupid comments like

Then don't be so surprised when not everybody agrees with you. Maybe that is what too much winning does to you. I totally understand that you don't really seem to have any sense of humour and are a bit serious for such a young guy but you also seem to have a very selective memory like your mentor Brockton. When your @mention a specific poster in your third post


I think @Beanz would like Charles Mingus, being such a tough guy!



Then you can hardly moan if I then choose to post in it. I don't crave conflict or attention and the fact that I choose not to post that much in here anymore would for most people indicate that it certainly is not all I have in my life. There seems to be an awful lot of projection in your posts and I don't quite know where the hostility is coming from. Even at your age, while like most young men I could be a right prick, I don't think I was as obnoxious as you are suggesting I am now and would certainly not have been arrogant enough to tell another poster to look in the mirror and re-evaluate their life.

So maybe we can start again and try to find some common ground.

I like all kinds of music. When it is such a big part of your professional life as it has and continues to be for me then that goes without saying. You wouldn't know but the veteran posters here who know me would realise this, so forgive me if the humour was somewhat lost on you. I have shot the breeze many times with P4PKing and other posters on Oscar Peterson and Miles Davis and old blues legends like Odetta, klezmar and folk music and have tried for many years to try and get Miles to enjoy and appreciate Jazz and black music generally. That said, Punk is not about not being able to play your instruments and just being angry. It's not even just about music, it has influenced filmmaking, photography, fashion,politics etc. If it were that vacuous then the veterans, some of whom are now in their 70's and still writing, gigging and recording, would have moved on years ago. Two of the most memorable gigs I covered last year were those played by veteran punk or Ska bands that had everyone from kids in their twenties to punk in their sixties packed wall to wall in venues because the songwriting and vitality of their material still stands up today.



so here moving on from Miles post is Ray Davies form the Kinks on Mingus
