Taxpayers may feel kind of blue when they discover their dollars went to fund a study to determine rats like to bop to the music of Miles Davis while hopped up on cocaine.

The study, which was performed at Albany Medical College, drew jeers from the animal rights group In Defense of Animals and landed it on its top ten list of Real Ridiculous Research.

The research found that sober rats don’t really like music that much. After the silence, the rats liked Beethoven’s “Fur Elise” more than Miles Davis’s iconic jazz tune “Four.”

But when the rats were given doses of cocaine, their tasted shifted and they gravitated toward the jazz.

Of course they do.

They do it and it's science. I do it and it's all "animal abuse" this and "illegal drugs" that.

[Perd Hapley]

What an appalling waste of money. The fact that cocaine makes Miles Davis tolerable is already immutably proven by science. Isn't that why it's illegal?

[Monkeyleg]

The cokeheads and crackheads I know like a variety of music, but not jazz. There must be a flaw in the research. Do it again, at taxpayer expense, of course.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

What of any importance does this tell us about rats?  

WASTE OF $$$$$$$

[Perd Hapley]

What of any importance does this tell us about rats?  

But what does it tell us about people who like jazz?

[41magsnub]

But what does it tell us about people who like jazz?

That despite all their rage they are still just a rat in a cage?

[Tuco]

Miles is so huge....

Did the rats dig on Bop Miles, Blue Miles, Miles w. Coltrane, Miles w. Shorter, Electric Miles?
Or were they laid back groovin to the fusion *expletive deleted*?  

That'd be heavy.

I am so happy that I don't have any clue who Miles Davis is

Seriously?  He's one of the jazz greats of the mid 20th century.  That's like saying you don't know who Hank Williams is.

I guess one could take pride in that.

Jazz ...?

Sorry, I was listening to Hank Williams

Except that Hank Williams was a musician.

I seriously hate Miles Davis, in the seventies in NYC that freaking sleazball gave a girl I know really well ( she was 17 ) a bunch of coke and ludes then did the deed with her.

I knew his coke dealer, he lived in the Colombia U district of the upper west side ( as did B.O at the time, I never met him though, wouldn't be at all surprised if he knew the same coke dealer )

I'm not surprised at all that rats need coke to tolerate Miles, he could only compose if on hard drugs.

So anecdotal accusations against Miles Davis are okay, but Ted Nugents own words and actions are uncalled for?

Miles was a dirty junky, jazz musician (we know how bad they are), and probably a lefty to boot.  Ted likes guns!!!!eleventy!!!  He shoots flaming arrows on stage!!!!

  Well, the Nuge doesn't need to drug girls, creepy jazz people do.

I guess that's what happens to old punk rockers that quit drinking and partying, we like crazy rockers not dirty rotten jazz dudes. ... well. ... I do like a song or two from George Benson - but he's a guitarist, you cant trust horn players. ... or is it saxophones?
