[NewMusic] the war on jazz

[Matthew Goodheart]

I agree; I don't think it's possible any more in a surface-listening,  
revolution-as-the-central-mythology culture.  On the other hand, I  
think the suppression of radical aspects of "jazz" is deliberate, just  
like suppression of labor history is; there's something about that is  
actually threatening, either to one's pocketbook or the view of one's  
place in the world.

On the other other hand, lots of folks seem scared of rap.
