I've known about the 3:30 rule for awhile, but have no interest in cutting a song apart to make it fit that mold. I also have no delusions that I'll ever get airplay...
I think that a song should be as long as it takes for you to say what you have to say. If it's too long for syndicated radio, which is over-rated in my opinion, then submit it to internet radio stations where time does not equal money; where the DJ's are concerned with playing good music and not just songs off the list prescribed by Clear Channel.
Good music sometimes takes more than 3:30.
