  • @Upsiditus7 That seems to be one interpretation. I had always heard that it also had to do with the Byrds' disillusionment with the record business and rock stardom.

  • @Upsiditus7 Reportedly, it was just that.

  • Was this song written as an attack on the Monkees?

  • I have a dream of being a famous musician, somehow i know it will happen, but i also feel as if it will be impossible. Every time i listen to this song, i get a confidence boost, and i feel like my dream will come true, eventually. I'm only 13 now, but if 10 years from now, i am a famous musician, remember this comment!

  • @brainsareus The lyrics and the sound of screaming fans also goes right to the mania that'll "tear you apart"--on 8 December, 1980, one "fan" who shall forever remain nameless got himself a gun to assassinate the one whose fame he wished to take for his own. The fool with gun is not even a footnote, and he knows it. But what price fame...

  • @srrfpp I think it satisfies my length needs. thanks!

  • @theyellowsubmarine98 listen to the tom petty's one

  • This song is sooooo short!

  • 440ci-2bbl Mopar.........whipped them all, without having to run wide open!!!

  • great little ironic ditty : seems like a nice driving cuban beat, with a rock drive to it,and it is. but check out the lyrics, they really address how much the bullshit of fame, can fuck anyones head up, if they are not grounded. always liked this,i just understand it on another level now.
