Reading Miles Davis' autobiography. Started it a few years back and was turned off by the steady dose of obscenity. I'm not a prude, but I found it distracting. Now that I have a few more years at RR under my belt, it seems oddly tame! Thanks, y'all! Early in the book, but it is a fascinating review of the personalities of the major figures in the jazz arena starting in the mid-40's. And a very interesting window on the culture of the country on "both sides of the tracks".
