Darn it, Chris. If you had hated the music, I could have used this joke:

PG:
Maybe someone could construct a hybrid joke about Charles Mingus, bad
food, over priced tickets and Catskill resorts...

Here's my shot at it:

Yeah, I know this boy - Mingus in junk sick dawn raises himself and
steps totally ignorant into stellar jam session with heavy metal kid
John Zorn, but can't afford admission price (pay to play - of course)
because he just spent his last $45 on a series of shocking college
portions at elderly Catskill resort...

Oh well, I tried. Now I've probably given away my alter-ego
identity...it was bound to happen eventually.
