Today's Hardcore Husky Jazz History Note

DerekJohnson · March 2014

Woody Herman's New Thundering Herd of the 1940s featured three tenor saxes and a baritone, for a unique sound. Stan Getz was the star. They called themselves "the 4 Motherfuckers" or "4 Mothers".

But the record company changed it to "4 Brothers".

Apparently, the record company had never heard of the First Amendment.

Skinny jeans hadn't yet come in off the range in the 1940's and mom jeans were far far away over the horizon, too far to imagine. "Motherfuckers" could never have sold disks (which were still graphite) without jeans at least not until the shrill sax sound could be amplified and replicated by the newly invented plugged-in guitar.

I was born in late 1940 and cut my teeth on New Orleans/Kansas City horn-blowing jazz and big band jamming at the foot of my dad's Motorola. Within 15 years, jazz had faded away while I traded slacks for stand-alone Levi's and jazz for Rock blasted from the radio in my overhead V8 powered hotrod Ford coup.

Life was good and only then did we discover something called the First Ammendment. Censuring "Motherfuckers" would have been mild compared to how biblebeaters and Conservative revisionists from coast-to-coast tried to destroy all that was great in rock 'n' roll. The age of free-speech soon arrived as heroes such as Lenny Bruce and the ACLU shoved the word "Fuck" in the faces of the biblebeaters and censures like facial cream pies and the evil soon forgot about the innocence of Rock.

Conservatives and some fundamentalists are still trying to pull Gabriel's horn out of their righteous ass while music lives on and thrives as the language of our souls....... thanks in part to the Motherfuckers. If you haven't yet watched and listened to Metallica's "Quebec Magnetic" concert DVD in Blu-ray, you haven't lived. It can't get much better.

Like the Constitution was written for them anyway.

The First Amendment comes from the Bill of Rights, not the Constitution. HTH.

I'm a conservative and I love jazz, so right there your theory is fucked up.

Right. Because the Bill of Rights is not part of the Constitution.

Im a libertarian and I tolerate some types of jazz...but smooth jazz makes me want to choke someone out.

Conservatives and fundamentalists didn't have much problem with jazz, it was Rock 'N' Roll in the 1950's-60's that twisted their tails. Say hi to Gabriel.

So Hamilton became Washington's Chief of Staff at 19, was a congressman by 25, began a law practice at 26, founded a still-existing bank at 27, and became Secretary of the Treasury at 32. Holy fuck, what have I been doing with my life?

Not to mention he died of a gunshot wound from a duel with the then-sitting Vice President. I guess Cheney was born 200 years too late.

Howdy, Stranger!
