“If somebody told me I only had an hour to live, I’d spend it choking a white man. I’d do it nice and slow.”—
— Miles Davis, friends, who’s 85th birthday would’ve been today.
Reminds me of Clay’s monologue from Dutchman: ”If Bessie Smith had killed some white people she wouldn’t have needed that music. She could have talked very straight and plain about the world. No metaphors. No grunts. No wiggles in the dark of her soul. Just straight two and two are four…Murder. Just murder! Would make us all sane.”
