    I like it because I don't like it.

    When I first heard that Steve Earle opening, I was like, what the crap, this is seriously jankety-sounding. But now it's my favorite of all the versions since the first one. To me it sounds like some kind of malfunctioning machine caught in a self-destructive loop that's breaking it apart, but it can't do anything but play that same loop over and over until the bitter end. In other words, a great aural representation of the season itself. Genius!
