What's the source for that Miles quote? That sounds like made up BS.
What's the source for that Miles quote? That sounds like made up BS.
There was an interview with Hal Blaine and he made mention of why he never pushed himself as a jazz drummer and he mentions that comment made about Miles.
Go to 9:30 in this interview:

The quote as Blaine says it is "I hated crowds." I think he's taking an old joke and mistakenly attributing it to Miles, because that's kind of a ridiculous taken at face value. Jazz was popular music when Miles took it up. Either way, you have to get the words right-- you can't just make something up that fits what you want to say and put Miles's name on it, and publish it online for other people to repeat.
So don't like and hate are antonyms?
