Interesting. I think I like Artie Shaw. I think all guys named Art, are extra cool!

I recommend listening to the whole interview. Shaw sometimes seems to contradict himself, but his philosophy of life is worthwhile listening.

I remember in school, kids would sing: "AJAX, the foaming cleanser" but never got to finish the song before I punched their lights out.
