Felder's story, from abusive dad to Florida youth to LA dreams to success, sounds a lot like Tom Petty's (and is connected, as it stands, by Bernie Leadon's younger brother Tom, an original member of Mudcrutch).
And call me apostate, but I like "You Belong To The City." Though I pretend it was written by Joe Piscopo.
This doesn't take a lot of imagination.
Petty is mentioned a couple of times in the book, too.
The Eagles are one of those groups in which I have to separate my feelings about the individuals from the music they made.
I don't know the blog or the author, but I found the article interesting, and right in line with our discussion here. It's a discussion about the Eagles being on the cover of the Rolling Stone. There's Eagles backstory for those of you who are interested. And, is the blind item about R. Kelly? Is he saying Henley liked to relieve himself on girls, or that he always got it up for the touch of the younger kind...? HM.
"Glenn Frey...now defers to Henley. 'Without Don,' he says, '...we'd be Air Supply.'" That's almost .sig worthy.
Eagles "Hell Freezes Over Tour" back in 1994 at Hershey Park Stadium.
It was an amazing concert, but not long after the show, I was watching Entertainment Tonight and Don Henley gave a brief interview about the tour. Without being asked, Henley volunteered some information that suggested "Hell" wasn't completely frozen over. In paraphrasing his comments, he said "I don't want to break up the party or anything for the fans, but we really don't bother with each other after the shows or hang out." As I recall, the reporter didn't even ask him that question, he just decided to let it out. JLC
MAIN FLOOR
US $185.00
LOWER (100 LEVEL)
US $85.00 - US $185.00
CLUB (200 LEVEL)
US $85.00 - US $185.00
UPPER (300 LEVEL)
US $50.00 - US $85.00
Meaning, the back of the upper level is $50, back of
the middle level $85. The only good seats are ALL
$185 - even those not on floor.
I am glad Felder exposed them for the egomaniac,
elitist f*ckwads that they are. Sure, we all love their
songs. But they are persons who play music, not
gods.
They are completely out of touch now with the
lunchpail crowd that put them on the map with
$6 LP's and tickets, and now are effectively locked
out at this price. Hell Freezes Over or, "We'll Do
Anything At This Price"?
They were extemely fortunate to come along after
technology could make them that big, but before
it democratized the industry with digital technology
that everyone can copy. Bands in the future will never
get this big, and Frey and Henley show us all why
that is a very good thing...

I'll always love their music, but now with a touch of bittersweet. Good for Don Felder. Shame on Glenn Frey and Don Henley.
hell freezes over is their best work(touched up as it may be) All I can say is best of luck Don, I always thought that frey was a pompus asshole anyway! Henley has a great voice But a bigger ego that Pumpkin head of his. they are lucky to still have Tim and Joe ( Timmothy has a voice from God and Joe isa great guy and way too popular to get rid of) but Don was just a great guitarist who had the balls to stand up to George Bush and Dick Chaney and lost. the two others( Joe and Tim) should be ashammed to have let him stand out with his dick in the wind. GO Don!
He stood up for himself, and it is so sad, that only money put that great musician away from "The Eagles". Wolfgang, Santa Monica,CA
