Anyway I would say Eugene Debs is underrated even though he is probably the most famous Socialist in US history.

Adolf Hitler.

He's widely accepted as one of the greatest jazz soloists how is he unloved

Even /mu/ loves him

Fucking everybody and their grandmas love Coltrane, unless you're talking about Stellar Regions Coltrane.

Jazz is just jam bands for blacks. An excuse to be jinked out on stage, nothing more
