The Boys of Summer by Don Henley

“This is up there with the best songs ever written, in my view. But, as a certain dishevelled detective played by Peter Falk would say, "there's just one thing bothering me". What is a deadhead sticker? As in "out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac". I know that "deadheading" in the States refers to when an airline pilot effectively hitches a lift on an aeroplane to get to where he/she should be, but that doesn't seem to make any sense in the context of the song.”

Thought I would jump on the seasonal bandwagon. Fantastic weather today. Made the most of it and probably got a bit sunburnt in the process.   1
