I had to doublecheck that I didn't actually write this. Never before have my feelings on jazz been put so succinctly.

Don't like Jazz, huh?

Your newsletter - I would like to subscribe. Jazz is like four guys playing five songs, each one congratulating themselves (for it is, at its core, a self-congratulatory art form) for being increasingly difficult to listen to, let alone understand. It is the inside joke of music, played for the benefit of other jazz musicians rather than that of the audience.
But then this is coming from a guy who will happily sit through about four hours of the Flatt and Scruggs Grand Ole Opry Show on any given day.
There's a very narrow window of jazz that I like. Not a big fan of the long atonal noodly stuff, or when it sounds like the bass player is playing the saxophone... with a stick. But I also have no interest in smooth jazz.
Or as Frank Zappa put it, "I'm in 4/4, the drummer is in 5/8, and the saxophone player is blowing his nose."
Jazz sucks.
