I agree with Pat Metheny

Kenny's talents are too teeny

He deserves the crap he's going to get

'Overdubbed himself on Louis

What a musical chop suey

Raised his head above the parapet

Now Louis Armstrong was the king

He practically invented swing

Hero of the twentieth century

'Did duets with many a fella

"Fatha" Hines, Bing, 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

Oh, Kenny fans will doubtless rave

While Satchmo turns inside his grave

Soprano man's bit off more than his portion

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

Yet I await the moment when

We lay off him and start on Michael Bolton

Oh, I agree with Pat Metheny

Kenny's talents are too teeny

for some reason Christmas songs seem to work well:

Do You See What I See In My Pants?

What Child Is This In My Pants

Jingle Bells in My Pants

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus In My Pants

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer In My Pants

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas In My Pants

Failed to cut up and pass around John Prine's body, opting instead to bury it.

Aloha,

Brad

do you mean John Brown's Body, or the singer-songwriter John Prine. Or Don Henley maybe?

I Got Ants In My Pants And I Need To Dance In My Pants!

Fuck My Shit Stinks In My Pants

Yellow Submarine In My Pants

does someone wanna go to the trouble of compiling a master list so we can see what's been already done? this is going fast.

we then just add to the list.

50 Ways To Leave Your Lover In My Pants.

Come On Eileen In My Pants.

Rock Lobster In My Pants.

Baby Got Back In My Pants.

SledgeHammer In My Pants.

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You In My Pants?

Boys of Summer In My Pants

Oh Come All Ye Faithful In My Pants.

yes, this is a borrowed thread from another board, but I'm sure it didn't originate there. So, have at it:

Ooops I Did It Again In My Pants.

Mama Told Me Not To Come In My Pants.

Whole Lotta Love In My Pants.

etc.

etc.

btw Greg, I wasn't responding to you in particular, I get your pov too, I'm responding to the thread in general.

I'll just say that I studiously avoided contact with people from my past for years but I have been surprised at how much I have enjoyed reconnecting with some of them on facebook. Just the right amount of time has passed, and it's not like people are asking to get together for parties or anything, it's just neat to see those people all grown up (or not) and I think they feel the same about seeing me online. I had tended to think back on all the awkwardness and bitterness of growing up but I have reminded as of late that I had some really good and special times with some of those people, I had just pushed those memories aside.

For me, it's like checking an answering machine.

And yes, in a few years' time something will come along and people will gravitate to it, and then another, and another and so on. Welcome to the modern world.

I think it's fun, more than not. Like others have pointed out, it's entirely up to each user to decide how much info they want to reveal, and then how much of that should be public or simply for approved "friends".

except The Who were in their forties when they first announced their retirement.

ooops, thanks

alright, so my name is Marc, but this board has made me turn into MarcO so I hope this can count.

How did I ever get into this mess

I fell in the river and I wrecked my dress

I wanted to look good because he's coming tonight

And he's bringing me things that I like

Oh Marco--I'm shallow

But I don't want you to think

That you're buying my love

With these things

The last place you wrote from was Constantinople

I am not impressed Marco--I've been around

Well, anyways--I told our friends

And we'll meet you at the warehouse

Down by the docks tonight

Oh Marco--I'm shallow

But I don't want you to think

That you're buying my love

With these frivolous things

But I'm dying for dresses

And I've run out of perfume

And I'm pining for a wine

That is halfway decent

Please don't think I'm forward but I made a reservation

At our favorite restaurant tonight for two

And if you need a place to stay

I mean if all the hotels are full

Well, my room-mate is gone for the weekend

Oh Marco--I'm shallow

But I don't want you to think

That you're buying my love

With these frivolous things

But I'm dying for dresses

And I've run out of perfume

And I'm pining for a wine

That is halfway decent

Marco Polo is coming tonight

And he's bringing me things that I like

Things that I like

Things that I really, really like

Yes, once at a Tim Horton's parking lot off the 401, with a bunch of other men. It was sublime.

I totally agree with choice #1, although we'll never see it.

Having said that, for the most part I kinda respect artists for *not* getting back together.
