I got about ten letters, a few phone calls, and about thirty people who stopped me on the sidewalk in response to my column last week. Probably more response then I've ever gotten. Still, many of you missed the point, and I can only blame that on my He fw#s poor writing. So, for the few of you who read through my cryptic messages, and believe me, there were more than you might have noticed, thank you for your kindresponses. For those whostill don't understand the piece, or find me hypocritical in writing it, thanks for reading, anyway, and please note that the column is, after all, called Bullshit. Sorry for the writer's interlude. . .on with the column. Yesterday, it occurred to me that I hadn't even mentioned some of the very wonderful people who have left us in recent times. I try to not get too gushy, but bear with me through this one. It all began about a month ago when, within a few days of each other, Dr. Seuss and Miles Davis died. One taught me right and wrong, the other taught me how to love music with a passion. Both showed me how to do what I love, and how to love what I do. They were elemental in making me who I am; they were for many of us. You don't have to be a jazz lover to respect Miles Davis as a genius who dedicated his life to his craft, just as you don' t have to be a child to smile when you read Dr. Seuss books. Unlike much of the world, who mourned the death of these two greats, we had a blowout party it our place. I figure those men would have liked it that way. They both lived their lives to the fullest, and had done many great things; they'd earned their right to die. Not that we don't miss them, only that they were far too wonderful at what they did to TS^rx£> oU«=*db forget their lifelong spirit on account of their deaths. Such was the attitude a few weeks ago in California. A great man in the music business, Bill Graham, died, and all the musicians who knew him iU threw a great bash in his honor.
