God No! I hope you got this one right, it was originally done by Def Leppard in 1981 off their album "High 'N' Dry." The video for it was also the first video of Def Leppard's picked up by MTV. They often credit MTV for part of their success because shortly after they picked it up it went into heavy rotation.

Answer: Don Henley

This song was released in 1984 on the album "Building the Perfect Beast" by the "Eagle" Don Henley. I made sure I put the word DEADHEAD in capitals because when The Ataris covered the song in 2003 they changed that lyric to BLACK FLAG.
