## Resource

Joe Rogan and Tommy Lee dive into the dying art of patience in entertainment, blaming streaming culture for our obsession with instant gratification. Rogan raves about Lynyrd Skynyrd’s epic nine-minute “Free Bird,” furious that labels chopped it for fear fans couldn’t handle its length — a symptom of corporate greed prioritizing profit over art. Tommy echoes this, recalling how Mötley Crüe shut out label meddling to preserve their creative vision. They also drop wild trivia: current Mötley guitarist John Five co-wrote on Skynyrd albums — proving timeless music outlives lineups and trends. The episode’s core question? Is the rush for immediate impact eroding the soul of art?
