Dave just sent in this article regarding the King of Thailand’s love of jazz. (I hereby refuse to use CNN’s pathetically retarded titles as links anymore.)
No denying the king seems really cool, but it must be pretty damn hard for him to get an honest opinion of his music.
Nam was in Bangkok this weekend and she said there were more yellow shirts than Ojibagaeri (it’s a Tenrikyo thing, baby) in August.

My dad came back with a pretty good impression of the king when he came back from the war (he was stationed in Thailand); though I didn’t know they still had the same one!
Yeah, sixty years is one loooong reign. And the people love him for it!
