...solo gigs in front of drunken college kids at Longwood College’s campus in Virginia, Pat McGee is now working on establishing himself among prominent contemporary singer/songwriters. His band formed in early 1996 and has been touring since. From McGee’s 1996 recording From the Wood, it was clear that McGee was an extremely talented young troubadour, blending folk influences from James Taylor and Paul Simon with his own acoustic rock sound and incredible vocal capabilities...

After an original album like From the Wood, Save Me risks sounding overly-produced. Maybe mainstream pop is the sound he’s going for.

...that blindingly clear; we’ve spawned the presumably intelligent writers and/or directors of XXX, The Fast and the Furious, Wild Wild West, Terminator 3, Cats and Dogs, Bruce Almighty, Daddy Day Care, Blue Crush, Halloween: Resurrection and more. Hollywood needs to weed out all of its dead wood, be they Harvard-trained or not, and find writers who can make some kind of memorable contribution to the medium. I wish we could just create twenty clones of William Goldman in his prime and thirty clones of Aaron Sorkin and then let the fifty of them write the entire...
