What was I about to say?

Short Attention Span System (SASS) does for radio what Cliff's Notes does for literature, condenses.

The value proposition is simple, radio listeners can't pay attention to the epic 4 minute pieces that some artists currently create.

Radio SASS. (Short Attention Span System) takes the playlist and musically condenses songs to their essence. Through time compression, you get the memorable heart of each song, with an average length of aproximately two minutes with NO self indulgent guitar solos, NO long intros, NO repetition of choruses again and again. Radio returns to the snappy song length of the 1960s.


I'd love to see the abbreviated model applied to airline fare rules - an example of which has me currently stumped as to whether I can upgrade or not
