was wir noch nicht erwähnt haben ist diese miles davis anekdote von 1959… wer von polizisten aus heiterem himmel vermöbelt wird darf mE auch mal grimmige sachen sagen (und, braucht man wohl nicht betonen, das war natürlich nicht die erste oder einzige solche geschichte in seinem leben…)

„Trumpet player Miles Davis, at this point a big name in the music industry for over a decade, stepped outside the Birdland Club in Manhattan on a night his band was booked for numerous sets. Having just helped a white woman friend of his hail down a cab, he was simply smoking a cigarette on the sidewalk when an NYPD officer came by and started giving him trouble. Davis was hit hard on the head with the cop’s nightstick, and then arrested for disorderly conduct and assaulting an officer. In the end, Davis won a lawsuit against the city of New York, and a major symbolic victory in the war against oppression.“

find grad keine vernünftigere quelle, es geht mir nicht so sehr um die astrologische seite :-)
