But I have found out you're the guy (metaphorically speaking) I ended up despising over the years for cutting perfectly good songs down to 3 minute ditties! Like Jon said earlier, I would imagine some acts did not like their songs cut down at all!<br>Once I started buying albums and cassettes, it drove me crazy to hear a favorite song that was chopped up on the radio. I understand from a radio's viewpoint, but I still did not like it. I remember changing stations when the single versions of some of my favorite songs were played! These are great posts, Tom!

Understandable mistake, though--Jason pisses off pretty much everybody sooner or later. It was Matthew. Understandable mistake, though–Jason pisses off pretty much everybody sooner or later.

As Jon said, a little more insight into the goings-on of particular projects would presumably be more worth Werman's time (and ours). Having said this, I must commend Jason (I believe) for pissing him off in the first place, as it no doubt resulted in Tom deciding to put pen to paper in the first place. :) Looking forward to the next installment, although it does all seem a bit glossy in the details.

I'd love to hear more details, both about his personal relationships with artists & other label execs and about the details of A&R and production. For example, there must have been some artists who pushed back on his single edits--is there a good story there? How and why did single edits evolve over time, as the acceptable length of a single increased? And what kinds of shenanigans happened at an REO Speedwagon party in Champaign in the early '70s--particularly compared to a backstage 'do on the Hi Infidelity tour? Etc., etc. Tom obviously has great stories to tell, and I'm thrilled that we have this series.
