I *do* accept other modern forms of jazz. Which is why I don't accept smooth
jazz. It's not jazz. How difficult can this be? I heard Bonnie Raitt on the
smooth jazz station once. If you look for her in a record store, she's under
"pop rock". How does one categorize her? Maybe the record store execs and
the radio DJs should mud-wrestle.
