Quincy Jones Interview

Quincy Jones has earned the right to say pretty much whatever he freaking wants to at age 85 considering his epic career. In terms of Q and his musical abilities vs his talents as an arranger and a producer, mediocre players often become great coaches in various sports. I don’t think knowledge is constrained by a lack of technical prowess, it simply expressed itself in different ways.

From watching their tv show as a kid The Monkees have always been a guilty pleasure of mine!

Sorry but Quincy Jones opinions are just that his opinions. Scrutinize as you like but he can say whatever he likes. And yes really on the basis of his long and storied career he is entitled to any opinion he wants.

Let me be very clear the opinions I was talking about relate to music and his musical experiences. Certainly the Brando comment was unfortunate yes but in terms of his thoughts on the Beatles, MJ, etc those are valid. And perhaps his chain is slipping or at the very least his filter is which can certainly happen with age.

So the mods removed my comment and I am totally ok with that I always refrain from talking politics here. What I posted was meant to be in support of Q’s comments but I still should have refrained. And thanks for all of the support the moment we stop questioning authority we all lose. Cheers!

I thought so too not to mention the good ole First Amendment.
