A particular circumstance has already arisen twice since the Millennium.

It will occur again next year.

Following next year's event, we must wait 10 and 12 years for the subsequent two occurrences.

What am I referring to?

I hope not, having your rocks rolled sounds extremely painful.

Tell that to the Rolling Stones. :P

The River by Imagine Dragons?

 

[DaleCooper]

I've tried but they never listen to me.

The River by Imagine Dragons?

No (I thought The River was by Bruce Springsteen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAB4vOkL6cE)

It's a different song.

Anyway, the chorus of the song I mentioned goes 'Reach, it's not as bad as it seems' - and I'm sure that, although having your Rocks rolled might not be as bad as it seems, you'd certainly reach for them if it happened.

There's a blues song called Cadillac Eldorado but can't remember who its by.

This image relates to what well known song?

Grateful Dead - Steal Your Face

 

[DaleCooper]

Grateful Dead - Steal Your Face

No but it's a good guess for reasons which will become clear when the answer is revealed.

To move things on:

As theageofthetra spotted the image is part of a Cadillac Eldorado.
The answer doesn't involve The Cadillac Three or Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac".
The image is a kind of rebus for a poignant line in the song.

 

[D6975]

Death head sticker on a cadillac.

Is a line from
Boys of Summer
Don Henley

ps the death head sticker is a Grateful Dead one.

That's it, although to be pedantic it's a Grateful Dead "Deadhead sticker".

Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac.
A little voice inside my head said:
"Don't look back, you can never look back."

I don't know if anyone noticed but I posted the video in "Now Playing...." last night.
