Quincy Jones Interview

QJ’s comments strike me as the kind of things that a person suffering from dementia makes. Impulsive, angry, without constructive purpose. What’s the goal here? After such a brilliant career, he wants to be remembered for a handful of self-indulgently, controversially cranky comments? Really?

"All Things Must Pass" as good as at least half of the Beatle albums. "Cloud 9" and "Brainwashed" are also very strong. To me, John was the least compelling solo artist--although "Imagine" and "Instant Karma" as singles were tres cool. McCartney's first album, "Ram" and "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" were all good. I like "New" a bit as well as "Venus and Mars" but they are a bit kitchy.
Clearly each tempered the other's weaknesses.

No opinion one way or the other.  Just sharing recent news -

I’m impressed. A real apology... imagine that! As opposed to the half-apology with the big “but” at the end that we usually hear from celebrities. His music sounds better to me again, all of a sudden. Thanks for posting.
