A Pop Life

I have to admit this dirty ugly secret of mine..I have never listened to Miles Davis. Oh sure, I can safely bet that some note or two have found their way into my brain but my brain never registered it and left it uncategorized for a decade or two.

But I’ve never really listened to any of his work until now. I can comfort myself in the fact that I’ve had a serious relationship with Billie Holiday for a decade now and I’ve flirted with Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn. But me and Miles Davis simply passed each other on the street in dark corners with our hats and heads pulled down.

Now thanks to a series of AWESOME AMAZING Dolce and Gabbana perfume and cologne ads, I have finally looked up and opened my ears to Miles Davis.

I’ve already listened to this song four times already and I want to listen to it a hundred times more. I’m always sad when it ends; it reminds me of my own ill-fated love affairs.
