There's something very beautiful and haunting about this that stays with me: the trumpet player fingering notes on an invisible trumpet that he knows he can never dare hear.

the real bleak that's mo better blues for real*

 

[Grano-Grano]

"Frank was always trying to hook me up with Marilyn Monroe, but Marilyn Monroe had a chest that looked like pears, man."

[MikelArteta]

Might be the best article I've ever read from gq

Fantastic read. Thank you OP

I recommend everyone to take the time to read this

So many gems in here. Quincy lived the life of a hundred men

What a fukking legend

I have a new respect for the man. His life is like a movie.

Was thinking the same to myself. He mentioned wanting Donald Glover to portray him. If they did do a film on his life, it couldn't be just one film I think. Either two films, or a long azz one and done film.

It was actually called Bols Genever, and Charles reportedly drank a bottle every day. Jones says Charles was “the most independent blind man you could ever witness—he’d go cross the lights, go to the supermarket, shop, count his change no help. No goddamn canes and no cups, nothing like that—his mother wouldn’t let him do it. And the only time he got blind was when the girls were around, and he’d start walking into the walls and shyt so they’d feel sorry for him and help him.” (Jones adds that Stevie Wonder also uses this technique.)

They could write a screenplay for his biopic from this interview alone.

One of the best interviews I’ve ever read

 

[Bini Knight]

"Knowing what you're doing. You know what I mean? Since I was a little kid, I've always heard the people that don't wanna do the work. It takes work, man. The only place you find success before work is the dictionary, and that's alphabetical."
