(24,844 posts)4. I really liked it
It's one of those "culture-critique" songs that always strike a nerve with me. I remember years ago, Don Henley said it was about opulence becoming decadence, or something like that. He nailed it.

(19,582 posts)5. Yes, I've used his lyrics about calling it paradise, kiss it goodbye many times referring to where I live
Used to be a sleepy town, just off the west coast of Florida until it became boom town and it hasnt stopped. Its unrecognizable with the development and lack of planning for the developers that come from out of state the song hits home, for sure
