Dennis in Virginia: Have you EVER seen a top-10 dunks list on a particular person? Me neither, until this:
All I could think was, "Please, oh lord oh lord, let this be a Best-Of-Dunking-On-Shawn-Bradley video!"
Hooray!

In Detroit, On Bidness...
...where I paid $22 at the hotel bar for a single drink last night.
Price-gouging assholes, the whole lot of you hoteliers.
Anyway, came across a worthy read this morning I wanted to pass along. Before I do that, a quick message to StB: The middle class is the conscious construct of a society which does not mistake "free market" principles for a market which does not create opportunity for owner and working class alike.
Shorter: If a company could get away with paying a worker a nickel a day, they would.
Even shorter: The existence of the middle class isn't an accident.
For me, the master of this kind of jazz was Miles Davis in his middle period, roughly from "Kind of Blue" through "Bitches Brew." (Herbie Hancock was in Miles' great second quintet of those years, and his bandmate, the tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, joins him on the Joni Mitchell tribute.) Miles' epic achievement in these 10 years, 1959 to 1969, was to somehow hold in perfect, crackling, high-wire tension two opposing impulses, the new and the old. He took a scalpel to the bebop tradition of virtuoso soloing, and cut out of it sharp and amazing new shapes. He reinvented the music from inside. It was the musical equivalent of James Joyce's journey from "Dubliners" to "Portrait of the Artist" to "Ulysses" -- one of the great artistic achievements of the 20th century.
