You know why Rhythm & Blues (and by extension, Jazz, Hip-Hop, etc.) is the greatest music ever made? Not because it expresses the historic suffering of a downtrodden people and their dreams of a better life. No, the reason R&B is the greatest music ever made is that, on any given R&B record, they get some fresh, totally original sound because one of the musicians forgot to bring his instrument to the recording session, and they had to improvise with materials at hand.

Â… I mean, how the hell do you FORGET to bring your instrument to a recording session?! Only an R&B guy could do that.

"los angels,city of angels,saints,
sinners,has-beens,legends and stars.
with a supporting cast of characters
living in a world located somewhere
between the moon and mars.
image makers,heartbreakers and a host
of side show carnival fakers.
the lucky few will go on attain both
fortune and fame,....the failures are
left without a penny or fame,....
the saddest part of all,...no one
will ever remember or know their name."
