The fans didn't dig the album. The cover turned them off; it reminded them of the fading Disco Era perhaps, and they avoided it in droves. But sometimes a turkey is really a peacock.

Personally, I think it's one of their best since Workingman's Dead and American Beauty.

This song just thrills me. The lyrics are by John Barlow, Weir's ghost to Garcia's Robert Hunter.

"Sure don't know what I'm goin' for
But I'm gonna go for it for sure"
