"Esau's another one like Heaven Help the Fool. The lyric is too damned opaque it bothers me. I know what I'm singing about, but I'm not sure that the lyric gets that across. Barlow had to explain it to me. He shouldn't. When he was writing, I was there in the room; I mean we both wrote lyrics to it. But that's something I've got to work out with Barlow. And if it's too obtuse, unless I really really love it and don't mind it being obtuse, I'm going to have to stand my ground and say we've got to define this a little better."(2) in a 2005 interview, Bob Weir was asked about playing "Beat It On Down The Line," and responded "I burned out on that one." But note that it has now (2007) been played by Phil Lesh & Friends.
