I hear a horn on the left speaker, I never remember that.
could be that I spun the vinyl so many times I wore the horns off
Do I have my headphones on backwards? I only hear the horn in my right ear. |

I gotta learn how to play the comb like that...  Oh, nevermind. :oops:
To everything, turn on the Byrds. Great tune. Short and sweet. |

Ah, I thought Apples In Stereo's "20 Cases Suggestive Of.." sounded familiar. Now I know where they got the inspiration for that song. Either that or it's quite a coincidence.

I always confuse the beginning of this song with BOC's "Don't Fear the Reaper"

Give Bill some credit. He probably knows that , being that Tom Petty is a huge Byrds fan, and has covered several Byrds tunes. NONE of which approach the glory of the originals.... |

Most likely from the remastered version/CD. |

Might be kind of cool to segue from this into Cake's "Rock and Roll Lifestyle"...

They do it before Mr. Jones almost whenever they play it live...

This song has always sounded good to me from the first time I heard it. Never get tired of it. Don't need to compare it to anything else.

Well I guess I'm one of the * young * fogies that like the Cake version just as good as the Byrds version. I'm also glad to see bands like Cake not being afraid to do covers of classic protest songs.

Yes this is a good song, I like the Byrds. But the screaming girls could have been removed, it is rather annoying :)

What a great band. They were always a step ahead of where the trends were headed. McGuinn was one of the real geniuses of rock music.
