For the most part Metheny's so called "rant" is a well reasoned argument that few people are capable of making. And even though Metheny's writing is clear and has a flow that is often lacking in similar opinion pieces few people would bother or be able to follow such an argument.

People do not want to read paragraphs of text. They aren't interested in the supporting arguments of an opinion. They want sound bites.

If they like what they hear they want to go "Yeah!" If they don't like what the hear they want to cuss and throw things.

Then they'll go find a mass produced bumper sticker or t-shirt that perfectly expresses their opinions. And they'll probbaly pick up a Kenny G CD, too.
