Everybody thought they were whack and they couldn’t play. People said, ‘What the fuck are you doing? You are disgrace to this kind of music.’ But these are the people who defined the music. They were ahead of everybody else.” I wish I could think of writers on the internet that do this, but all I can think of is ___ and __________key.  Writing about music and popular culture isn’t going to put you ahead of everybody else - although  __________key does the music writing on a different wavelength.  Only happens once every few days late at night.  Who is the Cecil Taylor of internet writing?
