Kenny G thinks reports of the internet's death are greatly exaggerated

In a shocking development, we've managed to confirm this morning that adult contemporary jazzophonist Kenny G is actually more hip than the former Mr. unpronounceable symbol Prince. Earlier this week, Prince famously said he thought the internet is "completely over" and that "all these computers and digital gadgets are no good." Kenny G's take? If the internet is dead "then I must be dead, too, 'cause I use it all the time. Maybe I've got a sixth sense, and I only see dead people." See, not only is Kenny G an iPhone user, but he's totally hip with modern cinema. So, why don't we all stop listening to what Prince thinks about stuff, sit back, and let this sultry songbird plays us out.

Kenny G is alive?

[Peter Fox Posted Jul 8th 2010 5:45PM]

@One Love I was just thinking the same thing...

[panckakes Posted Jul 8th 2010 5:48PM]

@One Love Who's Kenny G?

[ngom52 Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:11PM]

@panckakes Only the greatest saxophonist of the 90's, possibly of all time!

[Joe Cool Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:19PM]

@panckakes

Here, I'll sing some of his lyrics for you

@One Love

In other breaking news, **I** think the internet is alive and kicking. That's right, people, Tikigawd has an opinion about the Internet!!!!! Go! Spread the word before any other news outlet scoops the story!!

Please remind me again why it is newsworthy when some idiot celebrity decides to fart sideways...

@One Love

PLAY US OUT? What does that mean, play us out?

[JackInLA Posted Jul 8th 2010 7:03PM]

@nonexcludable

Think of a talk show host saying, "that's our show for tonight", and the band starts playing as the camera pulls back and the scene fades to black.

[desrok Posted Jul 8th 2010 7:35PM]

@Joe Cool lol that's awesome.

[JeremyBenthem Posted Jul 8th 2010 7:38PM]

@JeremyBenthem

Whew...the way he works that woodwind, I'd bet he could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch...mercy!

[SiXiam Posted Jul 8th 2010 7:56PM]

@nonexcludable

To play us out? To end the show?

[Plazmic Flame Posted Jul 8th 2010 10:21PM]

If you though the internet was dead, you blew your own mind and need to stop taking drugs. Also make sure you get 1 hour of sunshine per day as well.

[clarinetJWD Posted Jul 9th 2010 1:58AM]

@ngom52 Kenny G and "great" rarely should be used together. He showed he had talent at the beginning of his career, now he's riding the wave of cheese and Oprah into riches. Hasn't done anything reasonable since long before he hit it big.

In my undergrad, posters went up everywhere on April fools say about a Kenny G masterclass. We all had a good laugh.

[PotatoPants Posted Jul 9th 2010 2:11AM]

@nonexcludable

LOL I love how nobody got that comment.

[voodoochild Posted Jul 8th 2010 5:47PM]

i love kenny g

[glow Posted Jul 8th 2010 5:52PM]

You guys don't know who's kenny G?

[SlapBass Posted Jul 8th 2010 5:57PM]

Play him off, Kenny G.

[GeneralThade Posted Jul 8th 2010 5:57PM]

Just hearing the name Kenny G makes me want to put my hair up, sit in a warm bubble bath with a glass of Pino Noir while letting the smooth sensual stylings of Kenny take me away.

[graey Posted Jul 8th 2010 9:17PM]

@GeneralThade
It's Pinot Noir, so yeah... but enjoy :)

[Mahhhlon Posted Jul 8th 2010 5:59PM]

In the world of professional musicians, Kenny G is one of the most hated figures to play an instrument... So much so, that Pat Metheny wrote an essay about how much he sucks lol.

[Aphus Posted Jul 9th 2010 1:40AM]

@Mahhhlon If you don't hate Kenny G, you're not a musician! :)

[BulletToothTony Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:07PM]

she's kinda cute for an old lady

[tikigawd Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:26PM]

@BulletToothTony

I will take that as a joke...

[Larz Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:15PM]

OH my God! Prince killed Kenny G! You bastard!

[Whore of Spamylon Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:20PM]

Song Bird also comes in handy when f'ing around with truck drivers.

Seriously, it is a pleasant surprise to see him rip into some technophobic ass.

[Gazoobee Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:22PM]

Sorry, but there is no situation in the entire universe that could make Kenny G appear "hip." He's only one step above Zamfir for Pete's sake.

[SkEEzY Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:28PM]

Kenny G is my hero. His sultry sounds allow me to make love to the ladies.

[GeneralThade Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:38PM]

@SkEEzY

Palmala Handerson?

[SkEEzY Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:45PM]

@GeneralThade oh yeah! she knows exactly how I like it.

[rharm Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:46PM]

the dude's a pilot, scratch golfer, and an original investor in Starbucks - cooler than anyone on this site even if he did wear baggy black slacks with suspenders back in the day.

[Cabana Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:46PM]

I so need lessons from you on how to be cool. Tell me that part about Kenny G again.

[Charbax Posted Jul 8th 2010 6:58PM]

Pat Metheny on Kenny G: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-mjt1ypiF8

[HikaKao Posted Jul 8th 2010 7:12PM]

The internet isn't dead? REALLY? Who'da thunk.

[YoMamaOS Posted Jul 8th 2010 7:16PM]

So Kenny G is hip because he uses an iPhone? Oh...that's right because "hip" is one of the few remaining personas that truely believes its above the purchaseable soul trend. I'm a surfer...Pac Sun, Jack Johnson, Organic Weed. I'm a goth...Hot Topic, Disturbed, Monster and Meth. I'm hip...Thrift Stores, Kings of Leon, Craft Beer chosen on the likelyhood that none of your friends ever heard of it. Get the F outta here Engadget...I hope Jeff Beck kills Kenny G. Or Beck for that matter.

[John Doe Posted Jul 8th 2010 7:32PM]

you had me until iPhone. Now I know he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Lets hear it for fashion over functional!

[MNeko Posted Jul 8th 2010 7:48PM]

Gorelick? No wonder he shortened it to G. Sounds like the kind of guy who pleasures Democrats for money.

[fancypantsberni Posted Jul 8th 2010 8:22PM]

Diss song war between the two? I think so.

[Abbaroc Posted Jul 8th 2010 8:27PM]

Prince is a bitter ass bitch. he's hating the internet because it killed tv.. more particularly mtv.. to the point where they don't even play music to pay their bills anymore.. lol what an oxymoron... anyways prince is done and irrelevant.. he doesn't understand anything new and that's y he will never be successful again.. plain and simple. the internet is growing to the point where internet radio is competing with real radio.. ppl dont want tv on planes now.. they want internet.. internet internet internet.. i dont know what else they can bring to the table that would beat the internet.. so for the rest of forever this is about it. prince can buy a little spaceship n fly his way to mars.. we don't need or want him anyways. r.i.p. mj

[compking Posted Jul 8th 2010 9:52PM]

I guess I won't be friending Prince on Facebook!

[kenny goo Posted Jul 8th 2010 9:54PM]

Glad to see someone's finally listening to me.

[Digital1 Posted Jul 8th 2010 10:10PM]

Epic win for Kenny G's video being posted. Lol.

[GeneralThade Posted Jul 9th 2010 12:12AM]

Prince has installed 4" high heel platforms on every pair of shoes he owns, including sneakers. Therefore, anything he says is irrelevant.

What is up with this battle of aging, effeminate, 80's musicians on modern internet issues anyway? Their opinion on technology is about as relevant as the Dixie Chicks' opinion on politics.

[bwazy Posted Jul 9th 2010 2:38AM]

The Internet will never die. It's more popular than Jesus.

True story, minus the part about Jesus.

[lnm4444 Posted Jul 9th 2010 7:38AM]

For the first time I actually agree with Kenny G on this or any matter.
Too bad he has helpd Jazz as much as Facisim.
Go ahead and down rank me. I just have an opinion.
