Elephants, Acid, and Exploring the Inmost Cave

I just finished Act Two of my new Pig on the Wall series (The Long, Long Road: The Secrets to Tom Petty's Sustained Success). 

As usual, the length and content have gotten away from me-- this was supposed to be a one-episode exploration of creativity and the interesting story behind the track "Don't Come Around Here No More."

Honestly, it was a G:TB assignment and post from 2014 that inspired me!

But now I'm deep in the thick of something monstrous again. 

If you don't have the time and energy to listen to the whole thing, there is a quiz in this episode early on . . . for rock aficionados only. 

But the thing I am most proud of in the episode occurs just past the 23-minute mark. 

I had to make several montages to get a certain point across. Oddly, these montages did not exist on the internet, so I had to make them myself. 

This section also turns into an oddball one-question quiz-- give it a listen and tell me if you got the answer in the comments; I am genuinely curious
