I’ve made a social notation of the high number of whites that oddly list jazz as one of their favorite types of music, yet never, never listen to it.
My theory is that its an expected and socially accepted answer to “What kind of music do you like?” Just like people will list books they’ve never read or read once in English Lit, as a “favorite book”.
I’m like you, I find smooth jazz dull and boring.

Music that is more celebrated than listened to. A burst of jazz in a commercial will get attention. An hour of it, as you say, boring.
Part of the original context of jazz is as total improvisation. Composed jazz is almost a contradiction in terms. At a genuine jazz concert, something like a piano will keep up a background while various soloists will step up and improvise, then when finished will often get applauded.

A question for the Super Jenius Professor: how, exactly, does a child of the Indian sub-continent (Mowgli) represent the white race? This statement reflects willful ignorance of the source of the fable. Wonder if the lib professor now has Aesop's Fables in his sights to gin up some kind of racial irritation?

Caucasians come in all colors, of which "white" is only a subset.

I guess I wonder how this makes news. Why don’t we interview a bag lady and ask her opinion of Wall Street quarterly gains and publish that? The dif is the bag lady isn’t teaching out kids...something the PARENTS pay for. Root cause? Parents paying for such a person to teach THEIR kids.

I love jazz ... and I’m so white I could blind people.
This clown probably listens to Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion.

I was using the prof’s word to hoist him on his own petard. Yes, Caucasian is the more correct name and applies to the people of the sub-continent. Perhaps I shouldn’t have used the word race as that is a broader classification. I think we both know that most libs ascribe the most importance to skin tone than reality - witness the half-white, half-African president being totally carried in the “black” column.

Apparently, when Mowgli meets the Ape King, young children are being brainwashed with Disney-Technicolor to hate African Americans
King Louie, after all, is a representation of the American Negro...King Louie was voiced by Louis Prima...
Prima was from a musical family in New Orleans. His father, Anthony Prima, was the son of Leonardo Di Prima, a Sicilian immigrant from Salaparuta, while his mother, Angelina Caravella, had immigrated from Ustica as a baby

Disney IS racist. If they weren’t they’d re-release “Song of the South”

...try Grover Washington - Mr. Magic. It should afford you about 1000 hours of listening pleasure... Had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Grover Washington Jr and Stan Getz together at the Hollywood Bowl back in the day. Fantastic!

Most smooth jazz is sad and contemplative. Its dull and boring if you want a mood elevator, but its also just right if your missing someone on a rainy day.
