Most people, even people like me who don't have a lot of jazz knowledge, would say Miles Davis was brilliant. "Kind of Blue" is one of the most expressive albums you'll ever hear in any genre, and I think you could reach that conclusion even if you'd never heard a jazz record before.
Davis was also a bit of an ass. He wasn't known as the friendliest dude -- I've heard stories about how he would play whole shows with his back to the audience because he didn't respect his fans.
But Davis was a uniquely talented and unrelentingly individualistic person, and that's worth an awful lot. So, you can see why I found this ad on Amazon sort of obscene:
I mean really, wouldn't "Get Jesus ringtones!" be less offensive?

Are there any Jesus ringtones tho? Now what would they sound like....
But really, this doesn't shock me. Some people will sale everything they can sale, some things that they can't, and then some.

Apparently, there _are_ Jesus ringtones, right here. A lof of Jesus bands mixed in there: Jesus and Mary Chain, MC 900ft Jesus and Jesus Jones (holy crap, anyone else remember them?).

Miles Davis is punching and kicking in his grave.
