Woooo hooooooo You finally agreed to stop posting |
No, you did! |
Louis Armstrong had soul; Lance Armstrong, not so much. |
But both achieved success via drugs. So they are kind of soul brothers. |
As far as I can tell from a Google search, Satchmo's drugs were pretty much limited to marihuana and laxatives. I don't think his talent derived from either of these. |
You don't think smoking large quantities of marihuana on a daily basis had any effect on his mood? |
His mood, perhaps, but mood does not create genius. Lots of musicians took drugs, usually more potent stuff than Armstrong, but the effect on their performances was rarely positive. Anyway, I tossed the two Armstrongs into the thread as a joking way of saying I thought it had run its course, not to start a discussion of trumpet versus bicycle. |
