What are you listening to NOW?

[Prospero]

Hitler's favourite composer was - apparently - Bruckner, not Wagner, though he was very fond of him as well.

But he had a soft spot for old british songs

Music is music what's it got to do with anything else?

[russtafa]

if Ela Fitzgerald was convicted of heroin that's apart from her music

Music is music what's it got to do with anything else?

I think that is true Russtafa, unless it is music that is created to express a particular viewpoint - one with which you agree or disagree. So The Internationale, The red Flag, The Horst Wessel song are all pretty hard to hear away from their political contexts.
And yes - who gives a damnif Ella or Lady day or Hendrix or 1001 other people had any association with drugs. The music totally transcends their personal lives. I suppose the same COULD be said of Gary Glitter.... (except his music is largely crud (imho)

Mind you in the light of his later - erm - convictions how does this sound?

[russtafa]

a lot of his songs have been reissued by different artists and they were very good to be in the top ten so often

[Willie Escalade]

Ronnie Laws...I like listening to jazz on the way home from work at 2:30 in the morning...
