I like the Don Henley version of the song the most, its powerful. The song is the cynic's anthem. It is a haunting piece that bemoans the dreariness and sordidness of reality through the eyes of a now heart-broken idealist.
Of the versions I've heard (Cohen, Concrete Blonde, etc.), I actually like Henley's the least. Too upbeat and chipper...
