    You know that line from Don Henley’s song “Boys of Summer” that went:

    Out on the road today
    I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac

    That’s this guy.

        While I’m firmly in the “The Ataris’ cover was better than Henley’s version” camp, and I get the punk/Black Flag connection for this particular comparison, I feel that in general the original gets the point across better. I think more people would have gotten the dissonance of a Caddy driver with a Grateful Dead sticker when the original was recorded, versus the cover.
