Sympathetic Vibrations | Kansas City of Music
A few quietly celebrated last fall as Kansas City was officially designated a "Creative City of Music" by The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Jazz is elitist.
ReplyDelete^^^^^You are low rent-white trash.
ReplyDeleteSo, what's your point?
ReplyDeleteDidn't you just prove my case?
Scott Wagner would have done better to be back here taking care of the people in his Council District.
ReplyDeleteJazz has its place, but so do potholes, and they are relevant to far more KC residents than Jazz is or ever will be.
The only people that were really really concerned about the jazz district was cleaver, reed, cheapo and the 23 board members. This was a cash cow for them.
ReplyDeleteThey never did or ever will allow a white business down there either, that is fact.
Oh, that explains why my application to open a General Lee hotel there was denied...
DeleteAs my blind jazz organ teacher Kansas City's own Greg Mize once told me, "There's only two bad weeks in a musician's year... Christmas week and a week in Kansas City."
ReplyDeleteThey had to go all the way to Poland for this craptastic honor? What did that junket cost!
ReplyDeleteNo mention of Councilmember Jermaine Reed who was kicked off the American Jazz Museum Board by his fellow councilmembers in a 11-1 vote (Jermaine was the lone vote of "1")
ReplyDeleteIs he part of this delegation (aka: junket) to Poland?
I hope not, but it would be just like cowtown to send the recently fired councilmember to represent the city.
Or did Jermaine stay home and start some deep and broad soul searching as to why no one likes him, as to why he manipulates and uses people?
There is a reason people view him as a cartoon.
Wonder how many Poles had to be sucked off to bring home this prize?
ReplyDeleteAh, that’s definitely a question for Jermaine.
DeleteHow many Pollocks does it take to screw Kansas City ?
ReplyDeleteOnce again, that is a question for Jermaine.
