   Woody and music

   Woody is famous for playing old time jazz and for dislking modern   
   popular music. I can't remember all the negative scenes he's written   
   about rock n roll. I find this a bit strange, as during Woody's   
   lifetime, there have been some remarkable developments in popular music.   
   Is Woody really unaware of Bob Dylan's lyrics, Lou Reeds, or Talking   
   Heads', just to mention a New York perspective.   
      
   In his latest movie, Woody has the characters go to a club to hear Diana   
   Krall and she is presented masterfully, and compared to Billy Holliday.   
   I find this ironic, as for us lovers of popular music, Diana Krall is   
   considered to be a bland singer and not the kind of influence we would   
   like for her new husband, Elvis Costello. Meanwhile, Costello has   
   released an album of piano jazz with interesting lyrics. Does Woody know   
   about this, I wonder.   
      
   Woody needs some inspiration in his life. I wonder if Soon-Yi's taste in   
   music is any good?  Perhaps the great singer-songwriters should make a   
   tribute album to Woody to get him listening. It could be called Song to   
   Woody.
