To: a fool in paradise

“In 1954, the band followed with Shake, Rattle and Roll....”

.
I was a teenager quietly listening to Stan Getz, when that unidentified noise came over the AM radio waves.

I thought WTF do we have here? And ever since that time America’s quality of music slowly degenerated.

Well, the jazzmen were junkies and adulterers. The folk singers were pinko communists. The poster idols were limp wristed swishers. And Sintra and other crooners worked for organized crime.

How Much Is That Doggie In The Window wasn't much to write home about either.

Stan Getz in the early to mid-1950's? You must have been a hard-core cool-jazz aficionado. One would think that in those days, he would have been hard to find on AM radio.
