Beets And Coltrane

As a child, commentator Bill Harley had never been exposed to beets or John Coltrane because his father didn't like them. When he first tried beets and heard Coltran'e music in college, he didn't like them either. But recently, he tried beets and liked them. Then he listened to Coltrane again and like that, too.
