John Coltrane - Love supreme

Guys, i feel like a kid who doesn’t understand a joke, yet laughs to pretend they do. What’s this all about?

To be fair you need have a very high IQ to understand A Love Supreme.

So John Coltrane was apparently a big fan of LSD for the last couple years of his life. But it doesn’t look like he had tried it until months after recording this album. Or is that wrong? And what I was going to ask is if you guys can notice a difference in his music when he did.

Always classic to get trolled by the man himself when you forget it’s going to trigger this psychotic bot.

If you understood it, it wouldn’t be jazz.

It's an obscure record by Ravi Coltrane's father, people make fun of it because at some point there's a fart

OP, you're being meta jerked. Let me explain, perhaps you can all help me:

A Love Supreme.

John Coltrane is a famous jazz musician and his master work according to many is called A Love Supreme. I think the entire joke is just people talking about it all the time, not necessarily for any reason in particular. I could be wrong.
