“Miles Davis is the single greatest American artist of the 20th century…”

Those would be the words of Chris Stadolnik, writer for The Cowl, Providence College’s student-run newspaper since 1935.
You could probably fire up some lively debates with a declaration like that.
But you’ll find no disagreements from me. No way, no sir. But the judgement definitely takes on added weightiness when you see the statement written out like that. But it just looks and sounds… so right!
