The Importance of Jazz in Times Square

I appreciate when the musician or band mixes things up a bit. I don't like to go there and just hear what I heard recorded. Have you heard about the casino they may put in? I've heard angry rumblings people just saying it spits in the face of all that Broadway stands for. What's so sacred about any part of Times Square? It'll be a casino next to like the latest legally blonde musical spinoff.
