I can't think of this song without thinking that my friend Cheryl hates it and never ever ever wants to hear it live again.

I think it's lyrically one of the best songs Jon's written. I also think the music accents it beautifully and helps tell the story. I tend to agree with Cheryl that it drags a bit live though. I've seen it a couple of times. It doesn't live up to what you expect it to be. I wouldn't mind hearing it live again though... it might sound better to me with my new appreciation for longer guitar solos.
