i don't think he made it political. not all government is political. some government is just government.
1. he didn't mention left/right, or party.
2. government already supports the arts.
3. neither party is calling for the abolishment of the NEA, etc.
this was about adopting policy towards an issue that he believes is going unrecognized/under-appreciated.

Here's the interview regarding the song.
JAZZ: "Katia" starts like the guitarist is right in the middle of a solo. Scofield is wailing, the band is cooking right behind him -
MILES DAVIS: Not Scofield - that's John McLaughlin. JAZZ: That's John McLaughlin? I didn't know that.
MILES DAVIS: Yeah, of course. John Scofield plays in a different style. He's a muthafucka, but so is John. John is too much.
JAZZ: I hadn't heard that John McLaughlin was back with you.
MILES DAVIS: John McLaughlin is on "Katia" and a reggae tune [Ms. Morrisine]. John was in town.
Not saying any of the funk songs are favorites of mine, but these are 30 years old so it would help to keep it in that context. I'm sure your opinion should carry at least as much weight as the comments from this interview.
You could also make up some fake Miles Davis quotes about John's "Whiteness" like you did on the other thread for effect.Last edited by WESTON; 08-29-2014 at 10:57 PM.

First we heard from John, then Tom Petty, now Gene Simmons. Not just jazz but rock too.
Everything is going digital, online, and nobody wants to pay. Gene Simmons blames the "I want it free and am willing to steal it" attitude on GenX. (I agree. I keep buying CDs, bought one for $29 yesterday, ouch.)

Also how in the minds of many, downloading a song is just making a copy and that's it - nothing more, with no moral repercussions. And this is true with so many other activities.
The other big point for me was when he explained that record companies used to help artists go on tour, providing various types of support - but no more.

Its funny how when the money starts to run out, groups and people that were once together start to turn on one another.
