They grabbed you and demanded that you listen to, for example, Bob Mould’s wailing at the end of “Eight Miles High,” which histrionics suggested a last-chance attempt to rescue the enlightenment of the mid- ‘60s (when the Byrds had first record ed the tune)—just as they simultaneously doomed that idealism to the scrapheap of history.
