They are playing some good tune in this Walmart!
Don Henley's voice is one that always stands out for me. He has sung so many songs that are anthems to me.
The song about the passing of youth and entering middle age, with the nostalgic theme of "summer love" and reminiscence of a past relationship. In a 1987 interview with Henley explained that the song is about aging and questioning the past—a recurring theme in Henley's lyrics (e.g., "The End of the Innocence", and "Taking You Home".) [And I never think about the past. 🤪 🤔]
In an interview with in 1985, Henley explained the '"Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac" lyric as an example of his generation selling out.
I was driving down the freeway and got passed by a $21,000 Cadillac Seville, the status symbol of the right-wing upper-middle-class American bourgeoisie – all the guys with the blue blazers with the crests and the grey pants – and there was this Grateful Dead "Deadhead" bumper sticker on it!
