need said:

Cartman as emblem of what's bad about the Australian jazz scene:

Take an idea that's someone else's, and has been accepted as 'funny' by a whole lot of other people.

Impersonate it, steal all its jokes (no matter how boring) and bask in its glory while generating none of your own.

Hey presto! You exist.

This works with bebop, the Keith Jarrett trio, or any of the odd time signatures, piano accordion, glass harmonica etc. you heard when you were last in New York.

You the same guy with no TV yeah? Cartman is fuckin hilarious Long live the brat.

I'll sue your arse for sure, helps me pass the time.
Hey need to know bassis, what the fuck do you know about whats wrong with the Aus jazz scene, are you an expert like Wynton? fuck off.
Dam it shits me when someone preaches shit then doesn't even back it up with anything, not even a name, pissweak. Have some guts and approach your argument with something other than an attack on someone having some fun you fucker. Right thats it, I'm pissed off now.
Oh yea, tell us your latest release and we'll all listen and learn to whats right with the scene.

peace? sounds strange coming from the Tiger responsible for all the previous posts.
Hey Guts, who is Cartman? Is it Gid? Who are who, I'm sure I know my northern freind!

If it's not Gideon, Tinky, then it has to be Peter Knight, Ironguts, Mike Nock, Grabbers, Kenny Weir, one of the (male) Jacksons or Gerry Koster. Goodness gracious! It's Koster, I realise it now it is so obvious, that wit, that smile, it is you, you, you!

Ha ha ha, Gerry! Bloody hell, Koster you had me fooled but now, you are 'outed', for want of a better term! LOL
