All That Jazz -- In Tokyo?

There’s an interesting article in The Wall Street Journal about the popularity of jazz in Japan, particularly in Tokyo. I don’t know why this surprises me, as I’ve heard (pun intended) that Tokyo is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Also, there are some great jazz musicians who hail from Japan, including Keiko Matsui, and the wonderful group, Hiroshima. Speaking of jazz, I once worked with a colleague who had a small, hidden radio in his office, and jazz was always softly playing in the background, even when he left for the day. For some odd reason, the sound never seemed intrusive; instead, it was just…nice. Does music belong in the office? Can we, do we, whistle while we work in academia? If so, to what?

This is known that money makes us independent. But how to act when one doesn't have money? The only one way is to try to get the mortgage loans or just student loan.
