Well....
Whoever told you that you have to learn to appreciate it needs a good slap. If you have to ask, you'll never know, as the Red Hot Chili Peppers once said. It's a personal thing.

By the way, the theme tune from "Police Squad" and "The Naked Gun" is jazz. It's not too aimless or noodly. Perhaps there are exceptions, even if there aren't many?

And I like the mags reference. Reminds me of something from "The Eleven O Clock Show", when Daisy Donovan interviewed Glenda Jackson.
