[Marxism] Miles Davis anecdote

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

(posted to LBO-talk by Joanna)

So, I was having brunch with a fellow writer who is trying to put
together some music production deal on the side and who recently spent
some time with a guy who used to play with Miles. He recounted the
following:

At one time, Miles was married to Cicely Tyson and, by virtue of that,
was invited to dine with President Reagan at the White House. No one
seemed to know who he was. During dinner chat, Nancy turned to him and
said, "So, Mr. Tyson, what have you done with your life?"

"I changed the course of music four times." replied Davis in a gravelly
voice, "What have you done? Beside fucking the president?"
