Dream believers, yeah.

A guy named John Stewart wrote that song - he was still a member of The Kingston Trio when he wrote it right before starting a solo career. The Monkees had a number 1 with it.

The closest he got to a number 1 was 1979’s “Gold”, which went to #5. Walter Egan (“Magnet and Steel”) had introduced him to Lindsey Buckingham, who was the thrilled to meet Stewart b/c Buckingham was a huge Kingston Trio fan. Stewart invited Lindsey to join him in the studio where he was working on a new album. Buckingham invited Stevie Nicks and that’s why Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks sing backing vocals on this song.

Also, cocaine.
