   As a child, I took it as Sarcasm and "when hell freezes over". I think that might have been how many people of that era took it then. It seemed impossible. But, as an adult, with His lyrics sounding more like predictions, it has become a hopeful song. Hell, Willy converted his busses to ethanol. So, it doesn't rattle my bones too much to consider he had been talking with some forward thinking individuals and was being sincere in this song, all the while knowing it'd be taken as wishful thinking. 1981=11 yrs after the EPA was created in the US.
   
   Brilliant art is art that continues to speak to us decades later. This is the only properly forward thinking and positive country song I can name, especially from this particular era of kenny, dolly, etc...the prime of "cryin in your beer" country.

   When a President enters the White House and does what he said he was going to do. That's all there is to it. Guess you are going to make me write more just to make sure I have the exact amount of words no matter how meaning less they are. Is that right? Did I reach the count?

   It's sarcasm, along the lines of the old cliche "when hell freezes over".
