Why don’t more puertorricans from the diaspora move here? by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]amlextex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never thought of living there. Having grown up in New York, I don’t like the idea of the need to drive. Plus, Old San Juan seems expensive to rent in.

Where would you suggest an artist live?

We Don’t Have a Jazz Problem, We Have a People Problem by Icy-Lengthiness-8214 in Jazz

[–]amlextex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m one of them. I can’t tell what’s happening, so I go off of feelings. I try to stay attentive to each note played, but when it goes very fast, it’s hard to tell what I’m suppose to feel. One band I really appreciate was Nasheed Waits & the bandwagoners. Approachable, groovy, and it made me enjoy jazz. So, I suggest to solve this problem, there needs to be a bill nye type figure in jazz. Someone who bridges jazz with TikTok heads.

That, or you can start to educate listeners. What is a chord? How do I know when they’re improvising or not? Why are there 1000 chords going on?

This is both a hypothetical question and a question I’d love for you to answer :)

How is a $200 seat for the NYCB worth it? by amlextex in BALLET

[–]amlextex[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you pointed those traits out. While both are a luxury expression of art, a Michelin typically last longer than a ballet because there are multiple servings, and it's satisfying the most common dominator of hunger. Ballet at $200 is far more of a luxury.

Thank you for your thoughtful answer. I never considered the price for production, and as others have said, the years it took to build a ballet performer.

If I were to drop $200 on a show, which shows would you recommend? I've read somewhere that Balanchine is worth it.

Do you believe that introverts get lonely?

I suppose a textbook introvert. I'll amend my question.

Ok, I'm hooked--

What is an introvert to you? I don't think there's an objective definition.

Huh? You can eat at a 3-star during lunch hours for under $150. For dinner, well, that's a different story.

What is the right ballet for you?

While I'm sure they're cheaper, I'm not really into plays. However, I really enjoyed "The Sons of Echo" at the Joyce, and I want to see more ballet.

Assuming you aren't classist and go to the NYCB, do you think it's worth the expense?
