Louis Armstrong... love him or hate him?

Drug free jazz trumpeter, singer and inventor of the yellow rubber bracelet or crazed sociopath who drank fish blood?

buzz aldrin never gets a mention, his contribution to space exploration was just as big as armstrongs.

Why are you suddenly recycling old gags? Go and take some photos and do some weights or whatever else it is you do in your cosy lovenest.

No need to be like that. It's no worse than the rest of the forum

Where are the pictures of bikes?

Lol

crazed sociopath who drank fish blood. The mainstream media, that are wholly owned and controlled can cry 'conspiracy' to anything...it doesn't then matter what evidence stands, be it incredibly damning, the seed of doubt has been planted. So...regardless of whatever facts are then brought to light, no matter how serious or incendiary, how damaging or unbelieveable to the mainstream followers of said press, they can always call them into doubt. It doesn't matter one jot if the facts are there, foul play is called.

Back to the Op...was Armstrong good? yes...was he a Great trumpeter...? No. The stink around him being an arrogant, egotistical, regardless of what he did..detracts from that. He's a liar and a bully to boot, and if people can't see that in him ...they have never been bullied.

Back to Louis...Does he compare to the bonkersness of Miles |Davis..?

The character of Mingus? playing with a broken collarbone and femur? through snow?

He's ok...though he's a cunt...please don't attach some mythical sainthood to him. He's rich black guy that earned ridiculous amounts of sponsorship from globalized Corporations that exploit developing nations to make bullshit consumer goods.

If those that are sainting him, are...? I'd hate to see the rest of your saints?

Especially when they go marching in.

are you as into scat as he was?

cat scat
or rat scat ?

No need to be like that. It's no worse than the rest of the forum

mega lol's

Where are the pictures of bikes?

It's not about the bikes.

are you as into scat as he was?

No. Always hated it.
It's not a unique form of improvisation, it's some lazy fuckers that can't be bothered to write lyrics.
Perfect parity with it's namesake.

Especially when they go marching in.

RPM made me laugh.

love him. i wear one of those yellow plastic "Blowhard" bracelets.

This is like one of Tynans parody threads but not very funny
