Popular culture is pretty well covered. I'm teaching Baldwin's "Sonny's
Blues" this week & I wanted to post something on the class weblog to give my
students, most of whom know nothing about jazz, at least a sense of who
Charlie Parker is. The Wikipedia on Bird & on Monk were pretty good, but the
entry on Baldwin was just a skeleton. Interestingly, the Baldwin had a box
at the top saying something like: Help improve this article by editing it.
