I told you that story about how

Charlie Parker became Charlie Parker right

Jo Jones threw a cymbal at his head

Exactly

Parker is a young kid pretty good on the sax

Gets up to play at a cutting session and he fucks it up

And Jones nearly decapitates him for it

And he's laughed off stage Cries himself to sleep that night

But the next morning what does he do

He practices

And he practices

And he practices with one goal in mind

Never too be laughed at again

And a year later he goes back to the Reno

And he steps up on that stage and he plays the best motherfucking solo the world has ever heard

So imagine if Jones just said

Well that's okay Charlie That was alright Good job

Then Charlie thinks to himself

Well shit I did do a pretty good job
