Jazz is Dead?

I've made a slight habit of saying things are dead lately.  It is fun to be so bold.

I told my friend, singer Julie Hardy, that jazz is dead the other day, and she said, "I hope not, I'll have a hard time teaching it if it's dead."  To which I said, "I don't know, they teach Latin, and that's about as dead as it can get."  She agreed and so do I.

Along with 4 out of 5 doctors.  And that's a hell of a lot.
