A great man and a great musician. I want to cry when I think of how black culture has devolved from Armstrong, Basie, Ellington, Parker and Monk into 50 Cent, Jay-Z and Ludacris.
It is sad. Truly sad.

Charlie Parker was a huge drug user, dying at 36. The coroner though he was in his 60s. I love Charlie Parker, but the Bird would have been right at home with 50 Cent, Jay-Z and Ludacris.
