However, this could be considered easy listening.

I've heard both of those songs before and would rather not hear them again. I seriously wonder if the popularity of prog in the 70's is largely due to the popularity of getting stoned then. Those songs do not convey emotion-laden realistic stories, so I cannot tolerate their length.

FYI, I probably was thinking of John Cale or John Prine when I read the John Cage quote.
