I can’t believe I’m 62, I can’t believe Pat is 65, I can’t believe the AG is at least 20 years old and has evolved
alongside the evolution of internet etiquette. I can’t believe some of the crap I used to write on here but I
learnt far more from this internet community and it deepened my appreciation of music. I hardly ever read
this and it’s years since I posted.
It’s a long gap since Pat put any new music out. In a way that gap has been good it has made us all hungry.
Very.
And then the email came today and the long written piece by Pat is just so damned inspirational.
His articulacy in framing what he wants to say is devastating.
His values as a musician , artist , American and human are so noble.
He has laid down how much the new music means to him from a personal ,technical and emotional
perspective.
The sample track sounds like this album will be a joyous voyage of discovery.
I just love his stories of Ron Carter ( is there another release there ?!) and how the Miles Quintet methodology
informs the approach of this new music.
His line about November 8 2016 is so so welcome. Rightly naming that date as one of infamy alongside 9/11
and Pearl Harbour. I was living in America at the time waiting the birth one week later of my son. I cannot
wait to hear what Meshell sings on that song.
How long did we Dream of the Return.
Pat, I already feel that Better Days are Ahead. Your renaissance has never been more welcome and needed. |

Check out the title track on Jonatha Brooke’s latest EP "Imposter." Nice little portrait of you-know-who.

St. P,
You brought up an interesting point. I cant think of one redeeming quality of this President either. I’m trying to be
fair here. I cant think of anything positive at all that he brings to the presidency. That is a sad state of affairs, as I
can think of redeeming qualities of every president that I have read about.
But Donald J. Trump? Not one. (Can anyone think of one?)
Pat Metheny is correct. This is really more of a stain on the country than Trump himself. Enough people voted for
him to get in, and that is what is really embarrassing.

"This is primarily a music site so let’s keep it
that way - ...
"
I agree. About 15 years ago the Garage
became over run by politics and got real
nasty. Please not again. Music is a welcome
all important thing for me as well as for
many others. I guess if it goes that way i can
always change the channel or in this case
read something else.
Cheers

St P, I agree. But I do take issue with Make Pat Great Again. Again? AGAIN?! He’s always been great. Insert smiley face emoticon here. Best regards

D’heat, peace, looks like we share more than we disagree.
I just listened yet again to this one magnificent piece of music.
It is so stirring that it can inspire anyone to rise above the kindergarten politics...
This is primarily a music site so let’s keep it that way - but societal developments as often as not inspire great
art.
Maybe that’s Trumps legacy - inspiring more greatness from one of the greatest living Americans.
Make Pat Great Again caps coming in the store soon ?!

Hey now, don’t go insulting my main man, DJT. He is, after all, "the chosen one," an "extremely stable genius," and his "two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart." Just ask him.

St P, I won’t argue with Pat, because he didn’t "rightly name" Trump’s election with the infamy of Pearl Harbor and 9/11. I won’t argue with your analysis of the Republicans either. In fact, I’ll accept and expand your analysis to include the Democrats because nothing could live off the resulting difference between an administration of either party. I simply take issue with a verklempt conflation of a person (vile or otherwise) who at the time had accomplished nothing good, bad or indifferent politically; with the deadly political consequences of Pearl Harbor and 9/11--deadly in human life as well as liberty.

Electing a crooked traitor who is a despicable
human being in every respect, who shows
contempt for disabled people, women, anyone
with a different creed or skin colour, a serial
liar, anybody on here will know that the rich asshole
has not one redeeming quality.Not one.
The US is supposed to be the free worlds
leader. If it has a head of state like this, then
what does it say about America? It is by a long
way the worst thing that has ever happened to
the USA. Look at the impeachment hearings.
The objective conclusion from an outsider like
me is that the Republican Party are morons
and criminals. It’s that simple.
Don’t argue with me, argue with Pat.

St P, "Rightly naming [November 8 2016] as one of infamy alongside 9/11 and Pearl Harbour." I’m not a Trump fan. I didn’t vote for him. But you have got to be kidding.
