I Heard It Through The Grapevine -- CCR

And I can't believe this is happening, but on Jack FM in L.A., they play a version of Don't Fear The Reaper with the guitar solo completely cut out. They also play a version of Iron Man that fades out before the outro.

Unforgivable.

the long songs filled up a lot of set time. "Drum solo! Let's go out back while he wails!"

I used to go to a place, my time is "Happy" Hour/after work/relax.

So this young(er) dude would play some kind of dead-head music.

Depressing crap. The one that goes on forever ('cause he saved quarters with long-form), that eventually/*FINALLY* orgasms into MELODY!1

And I would turn to say to him, "This is ZOMBIE music!1 People come in here after WORKING and want to hear something MUSICAL and UPLIFTING!1 - not something to DRAG YOU DOWN!1"

I'm saying, no GRUNGE, no THE DOORS, no *crap*!1
