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?
