Instrumental version sounds like something off the original Gossman instrumental demos. God damn, I think I love it.

the riff is basically the kind of thing Jack White plays all the time and people lap up, but PJ does it and people call it generic

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

I don't know that grating metalic buzz that happens sometimes then cuts out is, but I loved it instantly

Funny, one of my best friends and fellow music fans said Jack White on his first listen.

I know you're the resident drum afficianado and you haven't always loved the way Matt was deployed in PJ. So glad you're feeling the drums on this tune!
