EVILFUNK's Profile

About me: "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." -- Hunter S. Thompson

Music means to me:"Jazz didn’t start out elitist. Originally, it was FOLK music. Made by semi-illiterate accidental-scholars who simply wanted to party and let people party. The fact that the opera houses of 1890’s New Orleans could only afford a single pianist (rather than a full orchestra), who coincidentally had a night gig at a brothel and a buddy in a brass band is a happy accident in the culture, and the upside of the karma of slavery. We are so fortunate that this happened. Elvis, Dylan, and the Beatles were created by SOCIETY to fill the gap that Bird opened. Young people need to dance and get laid, and sing along. Jazz once provided this service. Then it became “higher music.” " -Reed Mathis
Schools:"advertising advertises advertisment" - Col. Bruce Hampton
General Interests:"I logged on as Crackhead and was talking about smoking crack with Trey backstage," he recalled. "And they were like, 'Bulls---! He doesn't do that!' and I was like, 'Yes he does.' And they were like, 'What was Brad Sands, Phish's road manager wearing?' and I said 'Red Shirt, black tie, standing over by the hors d'oeuvre tray!'" -Trey Anastasio
Other Distractions:"Phish was counter-culture and outside the system — exactly when people needed it." - Trey Anastasio...a bad motherfucker whos example taught us alot about what we can do if we work hard and hold high standards ~ "I am pretty damn sure even the guys in Phish would tell you its always been about the music...not the culture." - a member of a Phish tribute said this to me in an email here on jambase 'cause i was ragging on his band being a full of shit moneymaking scam & out of touch with what Phish is all about.
