Max90 > i don't know your taste in music

I've been a jazz fan and a frustrated jazz drummer all my life. Frustrated, because I wasn't good enough.

> i recommend highly Patti Smith's tour de force, the 13 minute song called "Radio Baghdad".

Patti Smith's "Radio Baghdad"

Oh Baghdad
Center of the world
City of ashes
With its great mosques
Erupting from the mouth of god
Rising from the ashes like a speckled bird
Splayed against the mosaic sky
Oh, clouds around
We created the zero
But we mean nothing to you
You would believe
That we are just some mystical tale
We are just a swollen belly
That gave birth to Sinbad, Scheherazade
We gave birth
Oh, oh, to the zero
The perfect number
We invented the zero
And we mean nothing to you
Our children run through the streets
And you sent your flames
Your shooting stars
Shock and awe
Shock and awe
Like some, some
Imagined warrior production
Twenty-first century
No chivalry involved
No Bushido
(this song can be found on Patti Smith's album 'Trampin')
