Cheers, y'all!

Yeah, I know it's off-topic, but as a drummer myself, I'd like to add that one 
of the talk-show hosts here in Atlanta says that to him, jazz sounds like five 
guys all playing different songs at the same time.

And once again, a vain elitism rears its ugly head. Ironically, it is the same 
type of thinking that labels the general public as "no minds" that leads the 
arrogant developers in Peter Neilson's anecdote to ignore the TW's request for 
information about how to turn off Auto Save.

By the way, I've been playing the drums for almost 30 years, and I understand 
structure, scales, rhythm, syncopation, melody, pitch, consonance, dissonance, 
and articulation. While I am no Buddy Rich or Dave Weckl and haven't "studied" 
jazz, I understand jazz and can play jazz--and I don't care for most jazz. While 
there is some jazz that I really do like, I most often think of jazz by its 
other name: noise.

I studied jazz, and the most common phrase we used was, "The general public are 
no minds."
