Trump, "In the Flesh"

David Gilmour's lead guitar has always attracted me to "In the Flesh," but it's the correspondence of Donald Trump and his campaign to Roger Waters's lyrics that cause me to share it (it hardly bears noting that the album's title is also Trump's signature issue):

                                         

The first stanza captures what Lindy West eloquently described in "What are Trump fans really afraid to say?" 

Jazz and reason

Jazz improvisation has logic to it: musicians improvise within chords, chords have logical relationships.

Reason is, and ought to be, the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.

          - David Hume

In what other endeavor is this so purely realized?

Jim Hall

Jim Hall was sharp, creative and in command of his instrument (which he really did command, with guitarists it's so often the other way around) until his life ended at 83. What a privilege to remain at the top of your beloved game without ever quite remaining the same.
