I Need a Bailout!
This comes in from Jazz pianist Dred Scott-
in an act of civil disobedience i have decided to stop paying my student loan. the balance is about $17,000, the payment is
$180/month and that keeps me right at negative amortization, so at that rate i will never pay it off. so i’m thinking 17 grand vs.
$700 billion and they can go fuck themselves. i’m sure i’m no different than anyone else - rent, health care out of pocket (plus the hundreds of dollars i’ve needed to copay for this or that), credit card, cell phone, car insurance and upkeep (215,000 mi not long for this world), shrink and meds (my $250/mo premium gets me a copay of $80 on the lexapro i take) and i’m going to struggle to pay
back my student loan?? i don’t think so. what do you think would happen if everyone stopped paying their student loans?
bailout. the student loan industry is collapsing and we need a bailout right now!! too lazy to go to a demonstration? me too.
just stop paying your student loan and send a message to the government right from the comfort of your sofa. what could
be easier? you don’t have to do anything.
power to the people.

‘this disc (live at rockwood) demonstrates that scott’s vision of bop is a deeply personal one, which can be either cozily swinging or devilishly tricky.’ time out, ny
‘Live at the Rockwood Music Hall is a beautiful showcase of this dynamic piano trio.’ allaboutjazz-newyork
‘a restless trio.’ ny times
