Now THIS is a rant!! Pat Metheny VS. Kenny G. - Beyond Tiki

One might have expected him to go on longer in defense of himself in the Polish incident but he only spent enough time on that to explain what had happened and then returned to his original point until it reached the conclusion. Not that we hadn't figured it out many paragraphs before. Regardless of the exact words used I don't believe his intent was to foster any "Kennyhate". He just stipped off the "G"loss. On the music level I honestly agree with Pat's assessment and it could easily be backed up by taking an accounting of my music collection. Although I could be just a wee bit biased due to the inconsequential fact that Pat is from Lee's Summit, MO (the town right next to the one I am from)and I first had his music on my turntable in the "70's. Am I just defending a local boy?? Well, first of all I don't think he needs it and if I was gonna do that I'd mention that American Idol David Cook is from the same town where I live now. I don't watch the show but I applaud him for his success even if it was for just getting past that nasty Simon fellow! My word! Well that's where I'll leave off for now. I expected this to be a "Pat or Kenny --chime in with your favorite" type thread and I'm glad it's not. That would be too much like the Candy Corn vs. Circus Peanuts thread and oh boy I don't want to see anything like that happen here. (add sax music to fade out NOW).
