Apparently the speedo boys were there for EJ's cover of "Material Girl" - of which there must be video, somewhere. :)Anne Haineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038705452206752521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089616.post-21505440713531782262010-05-17T19:16:22.868-04:002010-05-17T19:16:22.868-04:00OMG.

I'll be in a bookstore or cafe with music playing, and they'll start playing something with Miles Davis, and I'll recognize his sound immediately, even if I don't recognize the piece of music.<br /><br />Plaintive, I guess is one word that comes to mind, though not just that. He creates an astonishing kind of space around the horn sound, so that the music seems to be floating or hovering in solitude.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.com
