Here we go again, Rolling Stone - another "Greatest Song" that was never released as a single, let alone showed up on a Billboard chart of any persuasion: "Whipping Post" by The Allman Brothers Band.
And you have the nerve to say - about a song I've never heard or heard of - "This enduring anthem was written on an ironing board in a darkened Florida bedroom by Allman. Leaping off with a rumbling Berry Oakley bass line, rife with tormented blues-ballad imagery and punctuated by Duane Allman's knifelike guitar incisions, the song is best appreciated in the twenty-three-minute incarnation on At Fillmore East."
Well, sorry, but I guess I'm stuck only appreciating the 5-minute version in the lyric video I found on YouTube.
I'll accept that as not being the best amount of appreciation, but hopefully it's not the worst.
Is it okay if I have a modicum of appreciation?
A tad?
What exactly is acceptable in terms of appreciating this thing?
