This song is on the Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde album by the Byrds. It’s a really good song but the interesting part is the story behind the song. It was written in response to an on-air argument with Ralph Emery, who was an all-night country DJ on a country radio station at the time. It was written by Roger McGuinn and Gram Parsons. The song was an open letter to Emery. Before I get into the song which I really like…I want everyone to know I’m not downing Emery because of this.
