Wow, this girl is pretty cute, and I love when people set out to mock the establishment for being stupid, but wasn’t there anyone behind the camera that could have pointed out that the following didn’t exactly make her look like an expert?

“Miles Davis. I love Miles Davis as much as you do, but the man was a saxophone player. He is not a rock and roll artist. Wonderful. Inspirational. I love Miles Davis, but I’m not sure that he should be on this list.”

Let’s ignore the fact that being a saxophone player doesn’t preclude you from playing rock and roll. Perhaps not being able to discern the difference between a trumpet and a saxophone should preclude you from commenting on music.

It reminds me of one of my favorite Miles Davis stories. Miles is in a limo about to attend some presidential tribute. He doesn’t want to be there. He’s dressed funky for an event that is black tie and some older white woman asks him why he was invited and what he had achieved. This isn’t exact - check out his great autobiography written with Quincy Troupe for the exact quote.

Miles said something like “I changed the course of music three or four times, but I guess that’s nothing compared to fucking some rich white guy for 30 or 40 years.”

Then again she’s cute - I can’t pronounce Skynard either - and I’d probably tell her how insightful she was just to get into her pants. Miles aside we’re all slaves to our penises.
