she was basically dudes second wife while he was still married

society was so rigid back then.. Jazz was empowering whites against the Victorian shyt cause there was little mobility.

A lot of them Bebop cats needed help like Kanye did. Theleonious had episodes and shyt. But people kept encouraging their crazy behavior instead of helping them because they liked the music too much. Played up the Black Crazy Genius tropes that Kanye has too. History repeats itself alot
