I think it's okay to dislike Sundown. I recall, when I was younger, feeling uncomfortable with the lyrics...perhaps too risque! (Of course these days, compared to the offensiveness of much of contemporary music, it sounds like a Disney tune.) Now I more appreciate the production, the musicianship, and its place within a great album. And some of the lyrics are actually kind of cool ("...when I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again.")
