Subj: [DR-L] Quote of the Day...on Powdered Wigs ;-)
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 20:54:49 -0400


"I think that anybody from the 20th century, up to now, has to be aware that
if it wasn't for Louis Armstrong, we'd all be wearing powdered wigs. I think
that Louis Armstrong loosened the world, helped people to be able to say
"Yeah," and to walk with a little dip in their hip. Before Louis Armstrong, the
world was definitely square, just like Christopher Columbus thought."

-Hugh Masekela (1939) South African trumpet legend
