Wynton Marsalis on MSNBC
Talking about how it ain't about the rich or poor, this is about how our 'leaders' and America will respond to this tragedy.....

I got nothing but love for the Marselis's....

1. well, he was never my favorite jazz musician
I think we've already seen how are leaders are responding. Sure, we'll see more response when we find out just how little money Bush will be willing to throw at the effort, but I think we have a real sign of things to come already.

2. I saw Branford play with the Grateful Dead
and I was hooked.

I love Jazz anyways, but the Marsela's turned me on to NO.

3. His statements were much stronger than that
he basically said that lots of time we don't see that people who are poor or who don't look the same color as us, as being deserving of help.
