1. About ^Romance Without Finance^ (Charlie Parker, 1944): pp.229-230.

( ... ) But the composers become more aware of the importance of money in order to have a good emotional relation. ^Romance Without Finance^ (Charlie Parker, 1944) speaks precisely about this question:

Romance without finance is nuisance
Baby, you know I need me some gold
Romance without finance just don't make sense
Mama, mama, please give that gold
You so great and you so fine
You ain't get no money you can't be mine
It ain't no joke to be stone broke
Baby, you know I'd lie when I say
Romance without finance is a nuisance

Here we have a clear message that it is impossible to develop a satisfactory love relation if an adequate financial basis is not present In ^If You've got the Money, I've got the Time^ (Lefty Frizzell and Jim Beck, 1950) this idea is developed in an even more direct way: "If you got the money, I've got the time/But if you run short of money I'll run short of time/Cause you with no more money honey I've no more time."

( ... ... ) At least two recent biographies suggest that the detached, sometimes brutal manner with which Malcomm treated women during his hipster days can be traced to his relationships with his mother.[주]33 While such an argument might carr some validity, it essentially ignores the gendered ideologies, power relationships, and popular culture which bound black hipsters together into a distnict, identifiable community. Resistance to wage labor for the hep cat frequently meant increased oppression and exploitation of women, particularly black women. The hipsters of Malcomm's generation and after took pride in their ability to establish parasitical relationships with women wage earners or sex workers. And jazz musicians of the 1940s spoke wuite often of living off women, which in many cases translated into outright pimping.[주]34 Indeed, consider Tiny Grimes's popular 1944 recording featuring Charlie Parker on alto:

Romance without finance is a nuisance,
Mama, mama, please give up that gold.
Romance without finance just don't make sense,
Baby, please give up that gold.

You're so great and you're so fine,
You ain't got no money, you can't be mine,
It ain't no joke to be stone broke,
Honey you know I ain't lyin'. [주]35
