Oddly enough, it still does that in the 7 minute version—but it expands the jammy bit and distributes it within the song in a way that increases the tension.

Actually, you know who needs to write a memoir? Ron Perlman. That guy has an amazing filmography, and tells the best stories. His hilarious commentary is the only reason ever to watch 'Quest for Fire'.

Wait…does this mean they might start marketing Cherie Currie dolls? I want one!

As much as I would love to know about David Bowie from David Bowie, he strikes me as the kind of self-erasing (as opposed to self-effacing) artist who'd rather not get his personae mixed up with anything so mundane as a real life story.

Not only should you not pare it down, expand it with the original full length tracks and mixes that were cut from the 'Dream Factory'—the version of 'I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man' (my all time favorite Prince song) is nearly 7 minutes long.

According to the Ricky Gervais Show, modern ties are an atavistic holdover from an era before the development of buttons. It was the only way to hold your collar closed.
