I read a bunch of autobiographies and biographies on black musicians and athletes when I was younger. They were living CRAZY lives.


Smokey Robinson was RUNNING THROUGH HOES for like 15 years straight no fukks given.


Joe Jackson set up a system for groupies where a woman would have sex with Joe first, then Jackie, and then if the woman had anything left to give, Jermaine would get some.


Jackie, Jermaine, and Tito locked a 14 year old Michael in a hotel room with two hookers. Michael refused to have sex with them and when they opened the door Michael was reading them the bible out loud.

Idk about the poverty part for most. A lot of em came from families of musicians who were trained at the highest levels.

Or at least relatively well off families that allowed their children to become musicians instead of working in labor.

Netflix doc on miles was good but damn these excerpts are crazy. Charlie Parker gave no fukks

The official causes of death were lobar pneumonia and a bleeding ulcer, but Parker also had an advanced case of cirrhosis and had suffered a heart attack. The coroner who performed his autopsy mistakenly estimated Parker's 34-year-old body to be between 50 and 60 years of age.

Always read this about Charlie Parker.

There’s a story about miles at the White House during the Reagan era there to receive a reward. Nancy walks up to him and says “so what do you do”

Miles turns around and say “oh Im a musician, only changed the course of modern music 3 or 4 times, what do you do besides fukk your husband”

Miles was one of a kind
