In these pages, Tom Waits wails about climate grief, Bob Dylan addresses the Chamber of Commerce in a dusty Texas border town, and Hank Williams, Sr. soliloquizes about marriage (and getting hit in the head with a frying pan). Elsewhere, a game of Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies triggers a creative crisis, and a large Tex-Mex feast served by ZZ Top leaves a German shepherd howling unanswerable questions into the cosmic abyss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eEmploying a variety of poetic forms—erasures, pastiches, prose, found poetry—\u003cem\u003eExtended Play\u003c\/em\u003e replicates the electrifying thrill of finding an obscure, foreign-only CD single from your favorite band’s favorite band in the bargain bin at Circuit City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eJohn Waddy Bullion is the author of the short story collection \u003cem\u003eThis World Will Never Run Out of Strangers\u003c\/em\u003e (Cowboy Jamboree, 2025).
