another reference to genesis in the line "i can't tell wrong from right," which parallels the theme of the tree of knoledge in the garden of eden. henley decribes society as wanderers in this sense, and it is worth noting that the opening music gives this impression of wandering. first of all, the long road out of eden probably refers to a leaving of paradise, as shown in the bible when cain, a wanderer, must leave to go east of eden after killing his brother. this is obviously a very spiritual song, with multiple biblical references besides that of eden. Patrick from Grand Rapids, Miokay people, personally i belive don henley to be a bit too intelligent to be writing a song with his only intent on the war in iraq.I love this song, it makes us think of all the stupid things people do just to get rich Why bother with a country that won't bring a profit to our sociaty. Get real and think about why soldiers still have to fight, it's all about money. Pieter from Eersel, NetherlandsDear people, if you listen and look very carefully, this is just about greed.Eddie from Long Beach, NyA fantastic song, and in my opinion, one of Joe Walsh's best guitar solos.The excesses of America will do us in we don’t need ISIS to do it for us. from Columbus, OhioI concur with what Debi LeFors and Jeff from Cleveland wrote. The spiritual references are replete throughout the entire song. even though I walk through the shadow of death I’m not afraid cause I’m the meanest sonofabitch here. Karogar from TexasThe 23rd psalm was often recited in Vietnam, I was there in 1969.Combining that with some fantastic meaty heavier riffs and solos from Joe Walsh, to the fantastic harmonies of the band, this song is truly a masterpiece! Probably the Eagles closest thing to prog rock in their catalogue. Dean Adams from Providence RiI cannot begin to state how underrated this song is.I think we've cornered the market on cultural junk, pretty much." I think with the words 'cultural junk' I got my point across. So I changed it back to American highway just to make it broader in scope. In the end I decided that it wouldn't make a lot of sense with the rest of the song just to suddenly go over and start talking about computers and the Internet. But, just like television, the Internet has a lot of useless crap going on. There are wonderful things on there, too - it's such a resource of knowledge and information. It's such a big waste of time if you aren't careful. He told Billboard: "I was originally going to write 'weaving down the information highway' because I get on my computer every day and there is so much crap on the Internet. Through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junkīloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda Breathless cable news anchors and clickbait internet stories had taken the place of nuanced coverage, and more than ever it was driven by moneyed interests. The December 2010 Eagles tour of Australia was packaged as Eagles Summer 2010.Much of this song deals with the way information was disseminated in modern times.
