Fly Quotes / Happy Birthday: The Charles Mingus Edition
"You haven't been told before that you're phonies. You're here because jazz has publicity, jazz is popular. You like to associate yourself with this sort of thing. But it doesn't make you a connoisseur of the art because you follow it around. A blind man can go to an exhibiton of Picasso and Kline, and not even see their works, and comment behind dark glasses, 'Wow! They're the swingingest paintings ever, crazy!' Well, so can you. You've got your dark glasses and clogged up ears." -Charles Mingus
[SIDEBAR: I totally relate to the sentiments expressed in this quote.]
