And nobody seems to have mentioned this.
Does anyone on this board know anything about his medical issues?
I would not offer that this could or should serve as some sort of excuse, mind you.
But perhaps there's someone here who's read something about Jarrett's medical issues in the past.
Less likely, but hopefully possible, is that someone actually knows something about what he actually dealt with given his diagnosis.
This may be brushed off as it has been by so many, but that's anybody's right. However, concert tours are recognized as endeavors likely to take a toll on those prone to flareups of Jarrett's condition.
I'm not very familiar with the man's music, let alone his manners. But I do know something about his diagnosis. Again, that shouldn't excuse the man from criticism. But maybe, just maybe, his condition had some bearing on this. If so, well, I'll withhold judgment on this thread since maybe some of you aren't familiar with it. If not, then it would appear to be a severe overreaction at best, a rather boorish display of obnoxiousness, and not necessarily an American one.
Feel free to ignore this post as you have my last one.
