Don’t be fooled: “sunset grill” sucks

I know he meant it compassionately but is there a better encapsulation of Henley's putrid us-vs-them ethos than this bit:
Maybe we'll leave come springtimeMeanwhile, have another beerWhat would we do without all these jerks anyway?Besides, all our friends are here

It sounds like a commercial for a competitor of Sizzler or Applebees

"I'll have a Henley Burger with a side of Glenn Fries and a large Coke."
"Do you want to Full Monster that combo for an extra dollar?"
"Well, yeah."

I'm thinking of ordering the Desperadonuts(TM). They bake them to the limit.
There's gonna be some heartburn tonight, I know.

you guys gave up on this shit too fast!
this thread motivated me to listen to Building… in total for the first time: in 85, the AOR station in Louisville played the SHIT out of "Sunset Grill," "Drivin' with your eyes Closed" and ""Not Enuff Love…" alongside the two legit hits, and so it was interesting to hear the other shit…
1.) on a bunch of cuts, he's singing way way way too high, straining his ability to hit the notes, 2.) it's very surprising that he had no hand in the writing for "All She Wants to Do is Dance" and it's all Kootch; one would think the conceit of trenchant geopolitical satire framed through criticizing women for enjoying dancing couldn't be more Henley…

My grandson, he comes home from collegeHe says, "We get the government we deserve"My son-in-law just shakes his head and says, "That little punk, he never had to serve"
Then at 2:30 Randy Newman comes up with a solo that's even more strained and less convincing.
