A fairly unreliable friend of mine told me that Charlie Mingus once said
that "talking about music was like dancing about architecture ".
 I'm ready to be corrected and all but I do like that quote .
Hey didn't Kool miss out on a hoot ,the group was on fire. If any
sado\masochist's got the whole thread they should send it to him . Like I
thought  when I was trying to get off the real logic list .. it was like
Hotel California .. you can check out any time you like but you can never
leave .

Stravinsky said that first. probably Mingus liked it and also said it.

It is a great quote. :)

I don't know where it originated, but I first heard it out of Angelina Jolie's 
mouth in a warm and wonderful film called "Playing By Heart."  I bought the 
film on DVD I loved it so much.  And not just for that line. ;)  It also has a great 
soundtrack, modern songs, but often obscure ones, really appropriate for the 
scenes they were used.
