Pay attention! Occasionally the rock starts need to go on . . . and on . . . and on . . . This is Episode One of Long Song Silver, our series dedicated to songs over ten minutes. A true test of the attention span but one in which, if you synchronize your bongs, you should pass easily into the void. Buy some ponderous music, get your money’s worth.
