Orison:

Why do you have to go to work?

Me:

So we can have food to eat and a place to live.

Orison:

But we already have a place to live.

Me:

Right. That’s because I go to work.

Orison:

It’s not worth it.

A 23-year-old Tennessee man bailed from a moving vehicle last Thursday during an argument with his wife, who was driving, because she wouldn’t “shut up.” He’s in critical but stable condition after being helicoptered to the hospital.

As long as I’m defending everyone’s right to have strong opinions against particular music and musicians, here’s Pat Metheny’s major dressing-down of Kenny G.

My favorite line:

Kenny G plays the dumbest music on the planet…. (ADDENDUM: The only thing wrong with the statement that I made was that I did not include the rest of the known universe.)

Wow.

Some people seem to think you need to be really knowledgeable about or really good at something before you should be permitted to have a strong opinion about it. People of this mind might say that, since I’m only a novice guitar player, I’m not qualified to judge how good a solo is.

But why not? It was made to be listened to and I’m the one listening to it…just like you. I don’t need to be able play a better solo than John Hiatt to critique what he played.

That’s just not how life works. For example…

Do you have a favorite pair of jeans? If so, are you a tailor? You better be, cuz otherwise who are you to judge if a pair of pants are made well?
