. WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOUT METEOR SHOWERS. Sounds interesting.Quote

I think the song is partly truth, partly fiction. I know that every time there's a meteor shower his platonic friend sends him a fax to watch it, but the bars line is probably in there to rhyme with the stars, and then stars becomes a pun for celebrities he runs into in bars...

It has two references to Rolling Stones: The words sympathy and satisfied. Is he somehow suspicious of Mick Jagger doing something he's not in on, like on Talk is Cheap? What was Mick doing when these songs were written? Superheavy and film production? Taking time away from Stones...

45 minutes is the absolute max. The grooves toward the middle/ending of a vinyl always has inferior sound.

Maybe what's missing for the OP (who's a young'un ) is the fact that the technology of pressing vinyl
means that only so many grooves can go on there before the sound gets badly affected.
Apparently the optimum is something like 16 minutes per side but the industry settled on a 20-22 as a sort of standard.
These links sort of explain it: [en.wikipedia.org] and [www.themasterdiskrecord.com]

Hey, there's only one groove per side, albeit a long and winding one.Quote

Not quite ... Black & Blue vinyl is over 45 minutes. I know because back in time, i wasn't able to fit it all on one side of a 90 min cassette tape.
But these days, many vinyl releases are released on 2 lps, even if under 45 mins. It helps when the grooves aren't so close together, it will last longer!

Over to Naturalust, if you think for one single second that Mick Jagger would have Steve Jordan produce the next Stones album you have gone one flew over the cuckoo's nest lol
