“Artists are very nice, but sometimes they’re not functioning on all eight cylinders.” Exactly. For some reason the more talented a musician is the more delusional and uninformed he or she is - especially it seems when it comes to their statements about geopolitics or other topics. That includes many jazz musicians, including Miles and a certain British guitar player who he used in the studio, as well as many, many others, especially so-called rock musicians. I’ll even include the exceptionally intelligent Frank Zappa in that category. And even though Teo was pointing to an example that illustrated a lack of courtesy and decorum, it’s all consistent. Some of these so called geniuses border on being idiot savants.

Paul Simon can be a cheap SOB, sometimes. I had a small but revealing encounter with him, and say this from personal experience.
