The problem is with people's attention spans. They are good for about 30 seconds, and if you don't hook them, they are gone. There are too many options. So if you are writing much longer than 3:30, you are going to run up against people tuning you out.

Throw in millions of songs out there, internet, multiple televison channels, video games, computer games,Rock Star, Guitar Hero, and everything else, you are gone long before that.

Just a by product of today's internet world.
