Life is too short to listen to all eleventy-dozen albums they have out. It's also too short to actually look up how many albums they have.

i haven't heard 100 percent of the material but i've heard almost all of it, thanks to older siblings and other bad influences. i've heard several albums all the way through repeatedly -- enough, i believe, to extrapolate an accurate percentage of classics and duds over the entire population of eagles songs, using my highly refined sampling methods. so what i really meant to say was "95 percent dud, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent."

heard a story last week from a man who used to work at a bank in Beverley Hills in the 70s. One afternoon the Eagles showed up together and said "We want to take out $100,000 in cash. No questions." When this clerk told them they didn't actually have the money in the bank -- that they never have that much on hand -- the Eagles repeated that they had money in this bank and they were entitled to it. Other banks were called and the money was eventually pulled together so they could leave with the money.

Henley's going to be the first musical act to play at a big new theater in the burbs near me. This is probably boilerplate Ticketmaster stuff (Hello, Irving...), but given our Donster's attitudes towards his audiences, I wouldn't be surprised if this notice on the ticket page came from him:
Please Note: Children ages 2 & up must have a ticket
DON: While I think it's great that new generations are discovering my music at increasingly early ages, I think it's only fair that toddlers should be treated as equally as their parents: $80-$250 a seat that you sit in--or stay home, Jack.

MG: Could you see yourself in a situation where those songs are performed again, whether it’s you and Timothy B. Schmit and Joe Walsh working with Jackson Browne on a one-off like you did at the Grammys, or something else?
DH: (Pauses) At some point in the future, we might work our way around to that. You know, Glenn has a son who can sing and play quite well. And one of the only things that would make sense to me is if it were his son. With Jackson, of course, we could do Take It Easy and a couple other things, but the only way I would consider any kind of reunion, I think, would be with Glenn’s son, Deacon.

I hate to admit this, but this is the most human he's been in...well, I won't speculate. So human that I'm not terribly bothered by the lese majeste here:
You just don’t do what they did — without getting permission, at least. And I know that young people don’t understand that, because they grew up in the Internet era where everything is interactive and you can tamper with anything, change anything. They grew up in the age of sampling where you think you can just take a piece of something else. I didn’t grow up in that era. I grew up in the era where people’s work belonged to them. And you simply don’t tamper with it. And again, I could cite you chapter and verse of copyright law, but that’s boring stuff.
But Frank Ocean’s lawyers tried to explain it to him, because they knew he was gonna get sued. They knew what he had done wasn’t right. And he was just young and arrogant and he couldn’t understand why we were not happy — that he took the track to Hotel California and wrote his own song over it. (Laughs)
But at the same time, I think the idea of homage and the idea of doing something in a certain style is fine. But you can’t take the work itself that you’re paying homage to and layer your own stuff on top of it. You have to start from scratch. I think the legal decision in the (Blurred Lines) Marvin Gaye / Pharrell Williams case, I think that was a really bad decision. I don’t think that was plagiarism. I think that was simply influence. So there’s a fine line. It’s a very grey area of law and of ethics.
I did like this:

lol oops:
I mean, they wrote some songs, very poorly — they were not very good songwriters — and they put out an album, and the only song that people would want to hear when they did a concert was Boys of Summer. And the lead singer apparently got so angry about it that he had a T-shirt made that said “Who the f— is Don Henley?”, or “Who the hell is Don Henley?” or something like that. And he would apparently wear that on stage (laughs) … and I thought that was really childish. But it was funny at the same time, because it was a clear message to them that they needed to work on their craftsmanship.
about the Ataris.
DON:I still work out like a fiend. Just before I picked up the phone with you, I worked out with a trainer for an hour and a half, and I’m sitting here soaking wet.
GLENN: I tell ya, it's a long way from when our workout lasted that long, and our partners where still soaking wet!
DON: Well, yeah.

I get that the Frank Ocean thing is way more egregious than looping a drum pattern, but did Henley ever have anything to say about the Beastie Boys sampling "Those Shoes" for the song "High Plains Drifter"?
