In 1944, pianist Harry Gibson modified this to hipster[2] in his short glossary "For Characters Who Don't Dig Jive Talk," published in 1944 with the album Boogie Woogie In Blue, featuring the self-titled hit "Handsome Harry the Hipster".[3] The entry for hipsters defined them as "characters who like hot jazz.

We struck up a conversation that carried us through the afternoon and a long walk back to our respective flats, which, it turned out, were on opposite corners of the same intersection of Fell and Steiner streets. He was a galvanizing story teller and an immediate new friend who subsequently changed my life in more profound ways then anyone I had ever met before, or have allowed to since. Officially, America was a land in love with itself, and its buoyant optimism and muscular self-confidence aroused the lusts and envy of the entire world.
