Edit - and now they are back.
Some people never change
Some people fade away
Some people break the rules

I love this shit. It is cheesily set up and yet the purity of the music is still evident in the reaction of the crowd. Music is the life blood of our universal soul. To understand the human you, the person, singular, you need all sorts of factors and truths. To understand the human we, you need many aspects and factors as well with one required interpretation of that truth, music.
Iām an every-head.

the idea of an āexpert in a dying fieldā reminds me of the article I read about the last seller of 3.5" disks. He is virtually the only one still doing it, because there are still some businesses, even industries (like local governments) that have older systems that havenāt been upgraded to modern storage, due to the transition costs.

I lived with some guys who formed a metal band back in college so we had quite a bit playing in the house. That said metal was never really my thing. I mean I donāt hate it but itās not something Iāll gravitate towards and as Iāve gotten older I appreciate it less. But I can still take a song or two here and there and appreciate it for what it is.

so, a general music question, why are the vast majority of popular āpopā songs (regardless of genre - metal, blues, jazz, pop, funk, country) about 3 to 4 minutes long? Sure, there are popular benders of this, say, Phish or American Pie where itās exceptionally longer, but why is that the exception? Is there any theory as to why something like 3-4 minutes is a āgoodā length for a piece of music?
Historically it went back to data storage limitations of 78s, one of the early record formats. Later it was tied into AM radio and advertising I believe. As to why itās still common today, no clue.
Sayeth the bardā¦

I seriously doubt thatās true. The tendency to have a song take up 3-4 (maybe 5) minutes of time to convey the message is much older than digital If you look at historical songs, like sea shanties, theyāre running 3-4 minutes too, with 2-3 verses. So whatās the deal?
Excellent question! I havenāt really thought much about it.
FYI that song boilermaker that you posted is a total driving song. Got it on rotation in spotify, play it on bust when Iām driving.
