aaargh! i am sitting here, doing some long-overdue balancing of the checkbook, and watching jimmy kimmel, which was mainly amusing. and then the musical guest came on. pat green or tim green, or something, some douchebag with a soul patch. i'm open-minded, but he lost me about 0.000001 seconds in, when he TOTALLY LIFTED THE HOOK from "passionate kisses" by mary chapin-carpenter, with nary a syncopation or a chord or ANYTHING to make it distinguishable from the original. man, the sheer unoriginality alone might well have killed it for me, but the audacity of taking so brazenly from what is indisputably an awesome song* sealed the deal. i won't go into the details of why it's an awesome song (hopefully you already know), but, suffice to say, it galls me. and towards the end, just when i was kind of starting to calm down, he totes stole the riff from "summer of '69" for the coda. what a dick.
*(as well as one from his advertised genre of "country," i.e. he should have known better.)
