If you had not made this such a circus, we would have discussed Grant Green's music, posted a few you tubes and moved on, all the while thinking he was a very nice player who made some good records.
Instead, i'm beginning to really dislike the guy. Now that I know of his drug addiction, I see him in an all together different light. Drug use means he was not very smart. Don't have much use for people that squander talent like he did.
Reminds me of a current situation in sports. A football player from Mississippi was projected to be drafted in the top Five of the NFL draft. Before the draft, a video of the player smoking dope appears on the internet. Instead of top five, he gets drafted 13th. The people in the know, say this means he lost Eight million dollars. A poor guy who probably never had two dimes to rub together, just threw 8 million out the window. Laugh or cry. Your choice
Now he is trying to find out who posted the video. Not, kicking his own ass for smoking, esp on camera, but looking for someone else to blame for his stupidity.
Typical of weak minded stupid people. It's never their fault. It's the CIA, Blue Note, KGB, the Trilateral Commission even, BUT NEVER them.
So, instead of thinking he was right up there with Wes and Benson, I see him as just another junkie.
He got off his sick bed and went to NYC to record, not to pay his rent, not because he loved music, but because he needed a fix. Pathetic.
Seems as if Prince might be dead for the same reason.
You should be running low on Kool Aid by now.
Cheers
