I recently came across this piece on why Kenny G stinks -- comments apparently from Pat Metheny. I have always felt that the G-Man was an absolute hack, but I had never read Metheny's remarks until today. I post the link so that others may see the light as I have had it revealed to me.
NOTE from September 2010
With Passing Notes up and running full time this past summer, I've been surprised to see that the most visited post in four years of on-and-off work has been this one, "Why Kenny G Sucks." And the new blogging statistics that are available shows how most people come to this page by running the search string "kenny + g + sucks." Clearly, we've hit upon something here. I have, however, changed some of my thinking about popular music lately -- I'm trying to be less of a snob about matters. If you'd care to know where I was coming from at the time, you might check out this podcast from a while ago, which was my attempt to address the tension between commercialism and authenticity in music.
