Mosquitoes suck (pun intended), especially when you live in an area with no bats. June bugs suck. Japanese Beetles suck (damn grubs). Moths suck. In general, most of the most annoying bugs seem to arrive during the summer.

Seeing as how I have computers, and those comuters attract dust, I've got some of those cans of compressed-gas dust remover stuff. Ahh, the joys of difluoroethane... how exciting it is to watch a compressed gas decompress rapidly freezing moisture from the air... or bugs all over your screens.

Yes, I've discovered the joy of freezing insects. And, to my amazement, many of them do not survive the flash-cryo treatment. Too bad.

Hey, anyone need some fresh dill? I've got a giant crap-load of dill plants (shrubs - they're HUGE), so I've got plenty of dill to spare. Hell, I'll even give you a whole dill plant...

I thought I'd rant some more about how bad Kenny G sucks. One of my mentors, a nationally known professional saxophonist, once described Mr. G's solo style as "musical masturbation, because he's just jerkin' his horn off, and blowin' it all over the wall". That about summed it up. Another professor was out playing a gig once. A woman requested a Kenny G song. He refused. she offered cash. He stood his ground. When she finally pleaded with him, offering $150 to have him play "Songbird", he said fine and took her money. Why? Because the moron was offering $150 to play a crappy song that was so musically unchallenging and trite that he wanted to be well compensated for the waste of time.

Hey, have I mentioned that I hate Kenny G? Just checking.

I think the only thing missing from that almost nonsensical Wiccan "discussion" is someone proclaiming "I'm not a Wiccan, but I play one on TV".

	I like Kenny G. I'm sorry if that bothers you, but there it is. I like Michael Bolton, too, and many other soft rock and light jazz musicians. I wouldn't normally accuse you of thinking you're some sort of superior judge of music, but I really think it is offensive for you to attack talented musicians just because they aren't "edgy" or whatever you call it. You seem to have hurtful tendencies, and I don't think that is right. I don't like the squealing sound of trumpets and such myself, but you don't see me going around calling your idea of jazz garbage. To each there own, I always say, and you should practice that as well. There is nothing wrong with calm, soothing music. Maybe if you would stop being such a hateful person you could learn to appreciate these things instead of disparaging them.

	what bothers me is people who insist on calling him jazz. He does not play jazz, he plays instrumental pop. I am not who you think I am.

	that he knew the song so as to be able to play it. Unless the woman brought the sheet music, I suppose. So anyway, what saxophonists do you particularly like?

	ah - 2 different guys (none / 0) (#5)
	by motherfuckin spork on Sat Jul 14th, 2001 at 07:11:42 AM PST

	although I'm sure both could play the song. Being that they are both professionals, they both have the ability that if they've heard it, they can play it: which also means even the cheesiest songs. As far as sax players I like: Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, Ornette Coleman, John Coletrane, Cannonball Adderly, Eric Merienthal, Brandford Marsailis, Charlie Parker, etc and so on. The first 5 there are my favorites - I actually started with Sanborn, which lead to my Marcus Miller addiction. I am not who you think I am.

	or jealousy that makes you and your fellow jazz cognoscenti so hateful of Kenny G. One would hope that great jazz saxophonists like Charlie "Bird" Parker, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Henry "Sonny" Rollins and your unnamed mentor would play because they wanted to, and they wanted to express themselves. Instead, I fear I detect an undercurrent of jealousy. Ah yes, jealousy. Implicitly cautioned against the Nonth Commandment, one of the seven deadly sins, it should be no suprise that jazz musicians (a morally corrupt and spiritually bankrupt type if there ever was one, even going as far as to proselytize the Satanic 5/4 beat, 4/4 was good enough for Bach's Masses, and should be good enough for them) would fall victim to such a thing (indeed, it was Jazz's jealousy of rock music's popular that led to the near genre suicide by embrace of fusion). This Kenny G has found a way to make jazz appealing to the masses, and found a way to make money while doing it. You would think most true Jazz fans would like to see their music popular, but Jazz fans are like dope addicts, they like to feel down, the major Jazz magazine is called Downbeat, and they like to spread their music like drug dealers do, through personal, expensive contact. Dealers, mentors, it's all the same. Once the exclusive cahcet gets worn away, they won't be able to make as much of a living teaching, and so they resent Kenny G's success. You Jazz people might be happier if you emulated the right thinking God fearing players in the NFL. The compete fiercely on the field, but off the field they have nothing but respect for their opponets (aside form hypocrites like Bryan Cox), and never hesitate to give thanks to the Big Coach Upstairs.

	This Kenny G has found a way to make jazz appealing to the masses Nice troll, goof-boy. First off, and yet again, Kenny G does not play jazz. He plays pop. It is not jealousy, you moron. You lack of understanding of the enitre jazz culture is painfully obvious. This poor excuse for a troll is very painful to read - you went too far off-base and dove right into stupidity. You lose. I am not who you think I am.
