Whats the significance of a ‘deadhead sticker’ on a Cadillac?
One of my favorite songs is Don Henley – The Boys Of Summer.
Being a young person, I don’t understand the lyric
“Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, “Don’t look back. You can never look back.”
any interpretations/explanations of this would be very helpful!
Back in the 60s and 70s there was a band call the Grateful Dead with Jerry Garcia. The fans were called “Deadheads” and most of them were hippies (yea!). Having a “Deadhead sticker on a cadillac” basically means that we’ve grown up, got jobs and are making money but are still hippies at heart. That is why “you can never look back”. Always go forward.
