There are loads of Vermont style jam bands, it’s just they’re all actually Phish. They trick other bands into e-mailing them with personal details, then steal their identities.
Pshaw. Fifteen minutes? Why, in the old days, we had songs that ran the full side of a long-playing record. You young whippersnappers wouldn’t know what those are, with your newfangled cassettes and things…It was a challenge to your endurance to dance the entire length of “In a Gadda Da Vida,” I tell you…
Seriously, there are lots of songs that run 15 minutes or longer. Heck, I’ve heard renditions of Tam Lin that were probably that long, without instrumental jams. Those balladeers could really hammer a song home…
I still think that the final line of today’s script is the best music joke I’ve heard in ages, though.
I suspect that in his grand scheme, he’s trying to convince Sweetheart (or at the very least keep her guard down) how utterly passive… non-confrontational… docile… he is now.
It does look like he’s really bothered by the animosity with the humans, doesn’t it? It’s a little surprising, since for his plans to eat all the humans to work out, he needs humans and beast-folk to hate each other. If a significant portion of the beast-folk population have human friends, they aren’t likely to take his side in the war.
I’m reminded of Phish for some reason.
I just didn’t realize “Vermont-style jam bands” was an entire genre.
Neither did I… and I lived in Vermont up until a year ago….
I confess that I wanted to make a Phish joke but didn’t want to namedrop them directly.

I’ve heard a few songs that approach the 15 minute mark… but 4 hours?

“Young whippersnappers”? I grew up on those LP records. And we’d record them, or stuff off the radio, onto an 8-track tape to listen to it in the car.
HT was hanging with Sweetheart,
Hanging for purpose unknown.
And going out on a date with HT
Takes her out of her comfort zone.
He has a plan,
And he’ll do some wrong.
HT and Sweetheart had problems.
Sweetheart, she hates being dissed.
Taking that guff from the churros seller
Made Sweetheart get pretty pissed.
He has a plan,
And he’ll do some wrong.
Mercutio and Tony made trouble.
Humans were showing some spleen.
HT has said he would rectify it,
And we all know what he means.
He has a plan,
And he’ll do some wrong.
HT and Sweetheart were dating.
Does he think he’s her boyfriend?
Listening to Vermont-style jam band playing,
Four hours and still no end.
He has a plan,
And he’ll do some wrong.
This song could go on forever.
These things can be unabridged.
But I will leave it after just five verses,
And I’ll see that it has no bridge.
—from “Frankie and Johnny,” lotsa versions.
Where’s that confounded bridge?
Jam bands need to be put into a battle arena against freeform jazz musicians.
The victor would emerge stronger than before, with auxiliary members. Are you sure you want this?
freeform jazz is good tho
I’m listening to a 22-minute unaccompanied string bass solo, because I just finished listening to the 46-minute unaccompanied string bass solo.
Denmark is well known for its jazz music.

I belonged to a jelly band once but things got sticky.
Ouch!
Oh, can it!
Moby Grape?
Lemme guess, your best cover song was Strawberry Fields?
What, H.T. had nothing to say to the funnel cake/churros vendor? How unlike him. I figured he’d at least have a snide comment.
I suspect that in his grand scheme, he’s trying to convince Sweetheart (or at the very least keep her guard down) how utterly passive… non-confrontational… docile… he is now.
It’s possible that he understands where she’s coming from on this one and doesn’t disagree with her.
No, I figured H.T. would have a snide comment for the vendor, not Sweetheart.
Understood. But I meant that H.T. was agreeing with the vendor and more in the mood to take her side then to say anything against her.

The funnel cake vendors day are numbered
