#185 - Lisa Simpson is Ornette Coleman | Rudy Van Gelder | “News w/ Nick”
Greg had a spark of inspiration last week while listening to an early Ornette Coleman album. Now regarded as a pioneer of was jazz for founding free jazz, Coleman was a very polarizing saxophonist in his time. He was kicked out of his high school band for improvising during a song… “wait a second,” thought Greg, “Lisa in The Simpsons intro…YES.” A meme was born, and then posted. “This is my masterpiece…this might be the greatest accomplishment of my life.” said Greg aloud.
