Nick LaRocca

I remember learning in my History of Jazz class at LSU that he was a complete a-hole, then I read the link...
quote:

Nick La Rocca, didn't do his reputation any favors when, late in life, he insisted that no Negroes were involved in the creation of jazz, he was the form's sole inventor and "the most lied-about person in human history since Jesus Christ".

Such a humble gentleman.

I don't read sports magazines much, but when I do, I read Tiger Rag....the most interesting LSU fan in America. I like their commercials, LOL. The Golden Girls stand in line waiting to get his signature....his season ticket# is 1...he taught Mike the Tiger how to roar in Spanish...
