Dirt, by The Stooges, is a proto-punk cut that sprawls for seven-minutes, brood­ing and smol­der­ing. It never cli­maxes or burns out, it just per­sists and dri­ves forward.

    Yeah! — I absolutely could not agree more! Most/many work­ing musi­cians are entre­pre­neurs in the sense that they make money off the exe­cu­tion of the ideas and pack­ag­ing of their music. Bands are sort of like small busi­ness, many DJs are like solo entre­pre­neurs. Inter­na­tional acts are like cor­po­ra­tions… And a lot of details left out in between.
