I'm embarrassed to live in the same city as Kenny G...I've actually seen him out and about a few times. Ewwwww.

Playa, that Pat Metheny link is hilarious.

This isn't the first time Prince has said something to annoy the status quo. How long did it take for people to follow him to the internet and repeat what he did? Prince is over it and on to the next thing. Folks need to relax and learn to not take everything he says as life and death. It's not that serious people.

I love how Prince has suddenly become one of the founding fathers of the internet and everyone else in the music business followed his lead.

I'm sure...well at least I hope...that's not what you are saying but I have seen that particular verbiage, many numerous times in the last few days and it really does amuse me.

You lot are hilarious. It didn't annoy anyone. Everybody is too busy laughing their asses off at the grand stupidity of it all.

Nobody followed him. Most artists are way ahead.

Kenny G just should do advertisements for sleeping pills, that's what his music do to me.

Very lame when one artist goes to such lengths to tear down another.

That's weird how people are cheering when Pat Metheny rips Kenny G but then scold Kenny G for saying what he said about Prince. And it wasn't even an attack on Prince personally, just what he said.

Fams, carry on...

I remember in 1994/95 Prince talked about Kenny G. for a quick second in an interview. He was talking about all the stuff that goes on back stage "and Kenny G. is walking around blowing that dang horn annoying everybody....".

It might have been the VIBE interview and they were talking about the World Music Awards.

Yet a few years later he had fucking Najee in his band, who was more than a little irritating.

We all have opinions just because ours don't match doesn't mean we have to start a fire.

Why are u hating on Najee? He is great!

At the end of the day all that really matters is did we all remember 2 laugh. People it's not that serious as I said so please don't trip over what I said. Have a Great day and stay out the HEAT.

NEW YORK – Kenny G isn't bowing down to Prince. The saxophonist candidly joked in response to a recent interview in which Prince said the Internet is completely over. Kenny G says if the Internet is dead "then I must be dead, too, 'cause I use it all the time." He adds with a laugh: "Maybe I've got a sixth sense, and I only see dead people. I don't know." The 54-year-old admits the majority of his audience may not be as "Internet and download savvy" like fans of singer Rihanna, but he knows he must use the outlet to promote his music. Prince refuses to use digital platforms to distribute his music. But Kenny G says he will do what it takes to stay connected, especially since he just released a new album, the R&B-flavored "Heart & Soul."

I hope you talking about Kenny G because most of the public thought he was dead or at least that god awful, coma inducing music is dead. Say what you want about Prince but at least his music is not going to put you in a coma and everybody knows he is alive and well.

I think you saw it in your imagination. No one on this board thinks P is the founder of the internet however, he was one of the first mainstream musicians to jump on the net ( and please do not pick some obscure independent artist that no one has ever heard of as the first guy and I know David Bowie was doing things with the net before Prince but no one really noticed.) You and many others may not like his comments but opinion are like buttholes everyone has one.

Please name the artist that are ahead and please pick someone that is known and actually has a fan base

And, the Internet HAS reached its glass ceiling....unless they can come up with some expansion...or add features that make it truly enhance, all it is is a reprint of everything we already have.

Considering there is a lot of material that is ONLY available on the 'net, and that wouldn't exist otherwise, your comment sounds very out of touch. You don't work for the newspaper industry do you?

What's funny is that this "more than a little irritating" Najee can blow rings around Kenny G. Shows how much you know about good music as opposed to popular music.

What's funny about this is....last year (2009) Kenny G performed at the Playboy Jazz Festival; I'm thinking he was billed as one of the best acts....ha,ha. All due respect to Kenny....but when he took the stage there was a noticeable despair hohum in the crowd and people started leaving in droves. People were talking and carrying on with their business as if he wasn't even on stage...and generally by this time in the event folks are totally mellowed-out and looking to hear some great music. Not hating, just true.Kenny, you're dead.

And, the Internet HAS reached its glass ceiling....unless they can come up with some expansion...or add features that make it truly enhance, all it is is a reprint of everything we already have.

bye.

That sounds like the ONE time I saw him on tour with Toni Braxton. Kenny is ONE DULL ACT on stage. Definitely the worst concert I've ever been to. He's not engaging and all he does is hold notes for long periods of time and move the keys over and over. A real snooze-fest.

U tell him big g!

I doubt that they're way ahead at the bank in this new business model. The only people getting paid are superstar acts with a dedicated touring audience, merchandising, commercials, etc. Anyone who thinks artists are making money on a product that you can get for free- show me the math.

I think that Prince just WANTS the internet to be over and dead..That if Prince says it enough times and believes that and maybe he thinks people primarily his fans would follow him and start to believe it also. But the internet is far from dead, it will only grow.

You know...

I think Prince is absolutely right! The internet IS dead and over! It's certainly no place for Prince and his loyal subjects. I think they...we...that's what I meant...WE...should log off the internet, right this second and await further instructions from Prince via the chemtrails.

Smooth jazz is f***ing weak sauce, no matter if it's Kenny G or Najee playing in that genre. Give me the late John Coltrane any day of the week!

What's crazy is that not too long ago, someone said Kenny G's solo on Johnny Gill's "My My My" was really good. That's crazy!

I rather join Jay-Z and his Illuminati-driven Roc Nation than to remain a Prince fan by turning my back on the world wide web.

F*** Mr. Nelson for that "Internet is dead" crap. And his lawyers can go tell him that I said it.
