Hello Marek

President Lincoln spoke about Coltrane? :-) VBG

So why are you trying to brainwash others about Coltrane? By all means
personally dislike his music but please neither try and force others to
accept your musical taste as gospel, nor denigrate their tastes.

Why should folks end up fearing what they do not understand? Especially when
it comes to The Church of St. John Coltrane? All they preach is love and
understanding, through HIS music. They do not, like others, insist that HIS
music is superior, the only pathway etc., and all that other spiteful
nonsense that attempts to marginalize other beliefs. (musical or religious)

Cheers,
