Rounding out the top seven of Long’s predictably boomer-rock-centric list: Paul Simon and/or Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, the Grateful Dead (!), and Joni Mitchell.

    Ah yes, who can forget the Garcia/Hunter quote in the landmark dissent in “Planned Parenthood v. Casey:”

    to ice petal flowers
    revolving”
