    Ryan: "their first ever concert in Poland"


    Did you mean this was their first concert ever and it happens to be given in Poland or they have had prior concerts but this was the first time they did it in that country?


    Had I ever heard of Woody Allen having a jazz band I would have known the answer already.

    @caligulash: First time in Poland. He's been playing jazz almost as long as he's been making movies. He used to have a standing gig at Elaine's, and later at Michael's Pub. A documentary about his band's tour of Europe, Wild Man Blues, was released about 10 years ago. It's an entertaining film, and quite revealing in spire of itself.

    @caligulash: I went to see him at Michael's Pub when I was in HIGH SCHOOL! And I am, let's say, approaching the mid-century mark. He's been playing somewhere weekly when in town since the early 70s.

    get down. boogieoogieoogie. that clarinet looks like it is sucking the life out of him. the koenigsberger lays down sicker pollack jams than witold gombrowicz's '68 dulcimer tour. he's blowing the screen doors off all their submarines.


    this explains why after i saw dave koz get booed off stage in krakow he yelled "i guess i should have banged my adopted daughter you motherfuckers!" at the time i thought he was just suffering from the enormous familial sexual issues that plague all smooth jazz followers and musicians.

    How do you stop a polish army on horseback? Ask the German Wehrmacht. The German army did a fairly effective job of it on September 10, 1939.


    I actually thought that was what the article was about until i saw that it was just Specter running his mouth again.

    There are people in my family who will be seriously offended by this. I, despite my "pride of warsaw" avatar there, am merely chuckling.


    Also, Polish jokes first became popular when the US and England were trying to justify letting Poland fall behind the iron curtain after WW2. Creating the "dumb pollacks who can't look after themselves and need Uncle Joe to keep an eye on them" public opinion helped US foreign policy.


    In other words, Arlen Specter is a Stalinist.
