I've never quite understood how folks can get their
panties in a bunch over Kenny G.  He may not be to
my taste but lots of people seem to enjoy his music.
Are they wrong?  Can you be "wrong" about music?

Mostly I just think it's jealousy.  Most folks who rag
on about how plastic his stuff is probably can't
play a recorder. 

Too, I think there is another component.  Kenny G is
a somewhat effeminate male.  This tends to put people
off.  If he was a Cassandra G, same music, same fame,
I don't think he/she'd be nearly as reviled.  We'd feel
differently about that saccharine sweet music coming from
something dressed in a gauzy gown with cleavage.  We'd
expect it, actually.
