A quite entertaining television interview send-up with the up and coming, but totally out of it, jazz French Hornist "Shorty Petterstein" (whom the interviewer keeps referring to as "Osc") that turns a little fractious. He prefers a bit of Bartok to Tchaikovsky. A small town cat appears interested in his gigs in downtown San Francisco. He declines to give advice to fellow aspiring musicians. "Just blow, man"! This animation quite cleverly sums up the inanity of a great slew of media chats between professional broadcasters and subjects of whom they have no knowledge and in whom they have no interest.
