(30,994 posts)25. Fine.
Now go listen to Joe Pass.
Or Howard Roberts.....
And get back to me about dope fiends and prolific recording careers.
Incidentally - Roberts might have been the most recorded guitarist in the history of the instrument.
From the beach boys to the soundtrack of 'Shaft".
Kicked dope 20 years before he died.
And Joe Pass...well......he simply redefined finger style jazz guitar after not playing for 8 years over the dope.
Not a mention in the press....Not even in Rolling Stone as far as Pass was concerned.
As usual, YMMV

Not about race, it's about unnecessarily tearing down someone to make a point about another person.

Well acquainted with Pass and Roberts. Incredible musicians who had far more impact

I'm not into either of their music. If I had to pick one to hang out with, Whitney Houston all day.

Not likely, since I wasn't into black metal or viking metal until around 2008. You have a point?
