In Reply to: Thelonius Monk - "We See" on Prestige... posted by tspit74 on August 2, 2005 at 06:05:33:
Jazz critic Ira Gitler once observed that if TheloniOUs had a dime for every time someone mis-spelled his name he'd be a rich man.
Follow Ups:
I can mis-spell his name all I want. He's dead and can't do anything about it. Maybe, since he had such a hard time, he should have just changed his name to something simpler. Maybe, Rico Monk?
Someone who's name is Gitler shouldn't raise this issue IMHO. ;-)))
Remember that great Monty Python sketch with Hitler and his henchmen Goering, Goebbels etc. "undercover" but in full SS uniform in an English pub. Hitler slamming Goering in the face for calling him Hitler: "It's Hilter, you fool, Hilter!"
