But the blues is something else. Jazz has been developed into one of those intellectual art forms that scares people
20、away. The blues can be faked. It is faked more today than even before. But it is an emotional song and even the finest of blues singers cannot always possess true emotions, the real grief which is at the heart, in the soul.2 Of course, I had heard the blues all my life. I had heard it all as a teena
21、ge jazz fan in America, travelling long distances to sit, perfectly still, listening with religious reverence to the great progressive jazzmen of the day. But I was never moved by the blues until I was a young soldier, marching along one long, desperately hot afternoon under a south Texas sun. We we
22、re marching four abreast, rifles slung, singing as we swung along.3 An officer marched at the head of us. He did not sing. God knows how we hated them, the officers. We all hated them.

The scene, the beauty of their singing, of these black men who w
26、ere the grandsons of kidnapped African men and women, the descendants of slaves, burned our eyes.

To avoid outright (彻底的) lies, some job-seekers claim that they “attending“ means being dismisse
35、d after one semester. It may be that “being associated with“ a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century-thats when they began keeping recor

The price begins at around twenty dollars for a
