Today’s NYT has a great column about jazz (especially jazz from the 70s on) and how blogs are playing a role in creating more interest in this music. Highly recommended!

Conan O’Brien Says He Won’t Do ‘Tonight Show’ Following Leno
on twitter, conan is god. everyone loves this statement. everyone except, that is, me. conan seems high-minded, resolute, principled. except he's sticking the shiv into leno. twisting it. drawing blood. hitting bone.simply publishing this ("people of the world") is a power play. he steals the ground from leno, casting him as the villain. casts his team against leno's. blames leno more than nbc.leno is in an untenable position. he can't win the p.r. game against conan at this point. or if he can, i'm not sure how he does it. nbc if frakked. otoh this is all their doing. they had choices to make and they tried to avoid them. choices have consequences. by not choosing, they've damaged leno, conan, fallon, and the tonight show franchise. which, was, of course, a choice, albeit a demonstrably bad one.
