SPARXXX would've been a problem but I've heard of him. The NW downs may be some of the ugliest fill that you'll find in a group.

On "Kind of Blue" Miles Davis' "So What" solo is a masterpiece. Too bad Britney Spears shows up in prime puzzle real estate.

Woody Allen gave it a shout out in "Manhattan". Dig Pops at 0:40 and 1:50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfGZB78R7uw Cool, Miles and Jimi in one puzzle.
