Crabby old people get me upset
So there I was, waiting in line at Barnes & Noble to buy some magazines and this lady in front of me starts ranting about how the music they're playing is just so disgusting and it's not real jazz and yadda yadda, and I'm thinking to myself, "they're playing John Coltrane, one of the greatest Jazz musicians of the mid 20th century who's up there with Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and Felonious Monk. Does this old crab even know what jazz music is?"
Even the lady behind the counter was surprised at her rant, though I think she was more surprised at me for realizing that it was John Coltrane. Come to think of it, I am too. I was just taking a wild shot. It could've been Wynton Marsalis for all I knew.
That's my rant of the afternoon. How was your day?
