I do know the Byrds, who did a version of the song with that line, were musically light years ahead of this band, and made far more of a contribution than these guys. Gene Clark was a superior writer, and McGuinn was innovative. Not to mention Parsons and White gave us the B Bender.
But again, the important thing in this scenario is that they are safe. The fact that their music is the same chords over and over does not matter.
