Richard Thompson's "I AGREE WITH PAT METHENY" check this link, but here's the lyrics.
I Agree Wit Pat Metheny I agree with Pat Metheny Kenny's talents are too teeny He deserves the crap he's going to get He overdubbed himself on Louis What a musical chop suey Raised his head above the parapet Well Louis Armstrong was the king He practically invented swing Hero of the twentieth century He did duets with many a fella "Fatha" Hines, Big Hoagy, Ella Strange he never thought of Kenny G A meeting of great minds, how nice Like Einstein and Sporty Spice Digitally fused in an abortion Kenny fans will doubtless rave While Satchmo turns inside his grave Soprano man's bit off more than his portion Oh brainless pentatonic riffs Display our Kenny's arcane gifts But we don't care, his charms are so beguiling He does play sharp, but let's be fair He has such lovely crinkly hair We hardly notice, we're too busy smiling How does he hold those notes so long? He must be a genius. Wrong! He just has the mindlessness to do it He makes Britney sound like scat If this is jazz I'll eat my hat An idle threat, I'll never have to chew it So next time you're in a rendezvous And Kenny's sound comes wafting through Don't just wince, eliminate the cause Rip the tape right off the muzak Pull the plug, or steal a fuse, Jack The whole room will drown you in applause Yes, Kenny G has gone too far The gloves are off, it's time to spar Grab your hunting rifle, strap your Colt on It's open season on our Ken But I await the moment when We lay off him and start on Michael Bolton I agree with Pat Metheny Kenny's talents are too teeny test | |

this is something I was hoping would never Ever get Mentioned Because Kenny G truly turned my stomach with that Sorry ASS Cover or Sample or whatever He called Himself trying to do.I Read how Pat Metheny Nailed His Ass&Applauded Loud,Loud,Loud.Kenny G Holds a Note like Ralph the Doorman from the Jeffersons use to Hold His Hand out:and George thankfully Slammed the Door in His Face.well that's what I do with Kenny G's One Note Ass Playing Self.He wasn't always like that though.when He was with Kashief He actually Played more than that.but Formula took Over&that Bum has Been a One Note Johnny on the spot IMHO. mistermaxxx | |

This is still an issue?
Is this the guitar-playing Richard Thompson of Fairport Convention of the late 60s that went on to a solo career? This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Honestly, I don't know, but it is the Richard Thompson of the duo Rhichard & Linda Thompson. Point is not so much PM & KG's tirade, but more that Thompson wrote the song. Quite funny donchathink? I'm not sure when this popped up, but I hear Thompson has sung it in concert, though he may not have recorded it. . . . Later Yeah it's the same guy from Fairport Convention. He's married to Linda. "Learn something new every day", eh? . . . much later... This is a new song on Thompson's cd due out in January 2003. [This message was edited Mon Aug 12 9:06:35 PDT 2002 by PFunkjazz] test | |

Yeah, I've been hanging out at Pat Metheny's website for a few years now. And I remember when Pat nailed Kenny on the Q&A section on the website from a fan back in 2000. It caused an uproar within the jazz community. The text from his website made it's way into jazz magazines. Pat's a nice guy(I rapped with him one time after a PMG show)he totally caught people off guard with his verbal assault of Kenny's music.
I felt that Pat was right in his assessment of Kenny's music. What particularly angered Pat was Kenny's lame rereading of Louis Armstrong "What A Wonderful World". Pat called for a boycott of that Kenny G song from jazz fans...asking them not to buy the single. As a jazz fan, it's amusing to me when I visit people's cribs and they tell me that they have some "jazz" in their collection and then most of their collection is stuff like Kenny G, Bonny James...URRRGGHHH!!! But if you let them tell it ..they know what's popping in jazz. Furthermore, I hate those smooth jazz radio stations. Every now and then they'll jam something like Weather Report's "Birdland" or Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" but other than that...ZZZ!!! | |

Actually Richard and Linda have been divorced for a while now. That is, unless they got back together and I don't know about it. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
