So last night I caught the end of a Legends of Jazz episode on The ‘S (Public Broadcasting Station). Anywho these guys are just speaking gibberish into mic accompanied by a band playing Dave Brubeck’s Take 5. They were skating and it was on Legends of Jazz which makes it legit, that is to say this was the episode that features two of the world renound skat men. That skating is legit, seems ridiculous but also kind of pisses me off since this is clearly my calling. Hell I love to speak gibberish when a tune strikes me right and yes I know these guys are doing more than that but it certainly seems like fun though it is totally ridiculous. Anyway I feel sad since clearly this was what I was mean’t to be and now it’s a bit late for me (1 week away from “26 years on my way to hell”) to begin learning how to become an expert skatman. Though my fortune cookie tonight said this: “You are talented in many ways.” If only I knew which ways damn it because I’m pretty sure that skating could be one of them.
I disagree. I think too much youth ruins the soul of the skatman. You have to have a bit of dirt under the nails before a ‘ska-doo’ really means something.
Yes but if you want to be good you have to start early.
