Title of The Greatest goes to Django Rheinhardt. His improvised solos were masterfully constructed compositions in themselves. When I first started listening to him I did not believe they could be improvised, so perfect is the structure. It was only after I built up a collection of his albums that I had to admit they were, so varied were they. His disciples still have Django festivals, and strap the two small fingers on their left hand together to try to copy his style.

Did you see the movie? Good watch and interesting either it's backdrop of ww2.
 
Cultural appropriation is a system to justify offense of differences. Which is the more offensive? Adele wearing Jamaican colours, or Dick Van Dyke trying to do a cockney accent. The planet is a smorgasbord of differences, and unless one kicks you in the nuts, the only offense will be designed by those desperate to be offended. These type of people will turn someone else's opinion into a grudge, and put it in their rucksack until it turns cancerous and eventually fades away, thus leaving space for the next grudge. There is a thread on this very forum dedicated to how someone looks and how long they talk for lol.

Dick van Dyke only had one elocution lesson in Cockney before filming Mary Poppins, and his teacher was Irish.
 
When does a potato become food? When it's peeled, when it's cooking, when it's fully cooked or when it enters your mouth?

NB: I know the answer, and it's not obvious.

I think it's quantum physics that is actually supposed to be nonsense, as in it contradicts the way we believe physics works.
Or something like that.

It's one long argument. Forums that embrace the subject are far more hostile than football forums. I didn't stop to ponder as there was a better place to head for.

In a universe of three dimensions people only perceive length, breadth and time ... they NEVER look up so have no concept of height... height may well exist in this 3D Universe but the inhabitants do not look for it as to them the three dimensions are all that exist. We live in a four dimension Universe... we do look up and perceive height but how many dimensions do WE ignore or have yet to discover? ..... I still think 'String Theory' is garbage however, when scientists in string theory can not explain something they INVENT rather than prove a new dimension.... RIP Stephen Hawkin but I believe you were wrong.

I meant to reply earlier. Can not disagree. You have a fine grasp of the broader aspects of science.
