Quincy Jones - What a Dude!
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Re: Quincy Jones - What a Dude!
What were your first impressions of the Beatles?
That they were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing motherfuckers. Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don’t even talk about it. I remember once we were in the studio with George Martin, and Ringo had taken three hours for a four-bar thing he was trying to fix on a song. He couldn’t get it. We said, “Mate, why don’t you get some lager and lime, some shepherd’s pie, and take an hour-and-a-half and relax a little bit.” So he did, and we called Ronnie Verrell, a jazz drummer. Ronnie came in for 15 minutes and tore it up. Ringo comes back and says, “George, can you play it back for me one more time?” So George did, and Ringo says, “That didn’t sound so bad.” And I said, “Yeah, motherfucker because it ain’t you.” Great guy, though.

At least he didn't say they brought in Bernard Purdie to fix the track!

Re: Quincy Jones - What a Dude!
That is a great interview.
As for the Ringo story - it's funny, but it never even occurred to me that Ringo played on Sentimental Journey at all! Thought that was just a singing gig for him. It is a gloopy album, but I'd take it over Q's Back On The Block.

Re: Quincy Jones - What a Dude!
while he is a legend. this interview makes me feel like he is sort of a douche.
His opinion on rock and his idea that he has done nothing bad.

Tevin Campbell?
He's a good singer and was marketed as kind of a Michael Jackson lite, but Tevin Campbell?

His opinions are his opinions. As to his facts -- well, he was there and i wasn't.

Especially when his best song was a Prince joint

Re: Quincy Jones - What a Dude!
His opinions are typical of most jazz guys. Jazz musicians are the best, they're better players than rock guys, etc. Ever read an interview with Wynton Marsalis? Same thing.

Q clams up mighty quick when he's asked about Cosby, though, huh?

Bono’s my brother, man. He named his son after me.
Is U2 still making good music?

You'd think he shot JFK.

re. Sinatra, Q wrote:He'd get drunk, and Jilly, his right-hand guy, stone gangster, would get behind him and break the guy's ribs. Man. What memories. We had a good time, though
Lol good times good times

He’s a gas, isn’t he? For some reason I thought he was uptight, square. How wrong can you be?

Re: Quincy Jones - What a Dude!
"In 1988 you co-produced Gladys Knight's comeback album which won a grammy. Can you tell us what you remember about that?
"I ain't tellin' you nothing about that! See I'm from the ghetto, just like that other cat Jim Bowen..crazy motherfucker! Me and him used to swing around the Southside, with Fozie Bear...you know the cat from The Muppets. Me and Fozie knew each other back from the Duke Ellington days. Cat taught Dizzy everything he knew. Anyway Pete Sampras comes walking in, and you know I respect him for his tennis, but he can't be tellin' me about no sax arrangement, so he's saying how I should be producing his album with Elton John to get that reeky slink oompah sound, but see that's all Stravinsky shit and it ain't what I do. I was banging Princess Grace of Monaco at the time so I had my hands full doing that and inventing dubstep! So Bowen ,who's connected to the Gambino family, says to Sampras "Nothing in this game for two in a bed" and shoots him in the goddamn knees. I said "motherfucker!"
And I'm telling you this because that's how I became President of the music industry. I got my shit done smart. And we gotta save the children".
