What is common between jazz and sex?

It was believed in the Soviet era, if a person was fond of jazz music, he could easily betray the motherland. We can not say for sure, whether any connection between jazz music and inclination for betrayal really exists, but we know perfectly well that jazz and sexual activity are interrelated.

American scientists from Pennsylvania University say, sexual activity is connected with keenness on music. A so-called rating was compiled during the investigation, jazz lovers are on the rating-s top. Their sexual potential is obviously above the norm. And people who prefer rock music to jazz follow in the rating. Lovers of classical music have their sexual activity within the norm. So, attend jazz concerts to be more sexually active!

Ha ha. I would like a comparison of duration or quality of sexual intercourse. I bet rock lovers are quickest, classical lovers have the longest foreplay, and jazz lovers most variation and number of orgasms in one setting. Maybe. I mean if we are going to simplify...

One might hope that if they named a car "Jazz" it would have some style. -- what a clunky look!

Did he say clunky? Hit it, boys!



Honda is on to something when it comes to the ClunkFactor.

I dunno, I like this one. Looks like a panda bear.

Have you seen your cute little "Panda Bear" in-person, mke? Trust me, it looks clunky, and more square than the photo I posted. It's a box on wheels.

Well, if you liked that one, you might love this one, which gets my vote for ugly motorcar of the decade. This is a very flattering photo.

You've allowed a very middle-aged man to feel a modicum of youth.

I don't think I could enjoy sex in any of the automobiles pictured here, and that's sayin' somethin', sports fans.

I like Tippy's theory, but she left out the possibility that Classical lovers are quite likely to be only into the well-rehearsed "missionary position", following a lengthy intro.

Lengthy intros are rather common in jazz too & let's not forget the special artistry that comes with double & triple tongueing from horn players...

Are you disparaging my beloved Honda Element, Mr. Thorne? I love the look of that car. It reminds me of a 30's motorcar.

I like how musicians (especially blues musicians) sometimes describe performing as "making love" to the audience.

I was listening to Wagner today. The man had his moments but it takes him a long time reach the climaxes.

No, I would never do such a thing. Do you own this car? You've piqued my interest, though, Moné. Which 1930's motorcar does the Honda Element remind you of. I love automobiles from the 30's, 40's & 50's.

For example, this very jazzy 1934 Chevrolet Roadster. No comparison.




Or this 1938 Plymouth coupe. Love it!




Maybe you're thinking of an oddly-proportioned delivery van with wacky windows? :-)

I don't own an Element, but I was considering it after seeing one up close. I love the way it looks, especially the side double doors.

To me it looks like an elongated Ford Model A (without the siderails of course):

lengthy intro...LOL. Maybe if they only like classical. Rudiments have their place right?

Cookie, I was thinking of Wagner too. Perhaps my fellow symphonisto could wake me up for the good moments. I bet Sting and Trudie Styler could do it.

As always, there are overlaps between two seemingly disconnected discussions.

The Honda Element features a largely rubberized interior, which means you can just hose it down.

Which can come in handy if you use it for off-road recreation.

While I appreciate the concept of "form follows function", I was only reacting to aesthetics. Practical as it may be, I'd want it to look considerably different before I'd buy it because I could hose down the interior. :-)

Indeed, rudiments have their place, tippy. So do polyrhythms, tempo changes, varying time signatures, dynamics, accents, and most importantly ... improvisation. Oh, and hoses.

I'm with Moné. I really like the Element. I think Honda did the best job of of pulling off that whole "modular" look.

Trading fours in bed? Don't be afraid to play over the bar line.

Thorny,

My first car was a 1940 Dodge business coupe which locked exactly like the Plymouth, except for the hood ornament.

I loved that car!
