The irony of this song is especially rich when Guster does it, since they're big environmentalists and Adam Gardner and his wife founded Reverb and everything.
Random semi-relevant story: While I was driving up to a Guster show with a friend, the Counting Crows cover of "Big Yellow Taxi" came on the radio. My friend started talking about how there's some song that's kind of the opposite: instead of "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot," all the construction, etc. has been torn down and reverted back to nature. I had no idea what she was talking about and figured she was just being weird. And then Guster played this song.
