No one will defend Frank Ocean's song, but everyone of us will defend the right of Frank Ocean to treat Don Henley like shit at the bottom of a shoe.

don henley acts like the world treats him like shit whether or not it does, so we may as well treat him like shit

it's not like he can get any more ornery
What amuses me is it's HENLEY complaining and not Felder, who wrote the indelible hook and and who can chill in his garden w/out working for the rest of his life. It's possible Felder complained privately but we know there's no uh love lost b/w the Felder and Henley-Frey camps.

It's true: after this photo was taken, Henley stole that poor bear's fish, fucked it*, and then proceeded to shit in the Walden Woods--once the province of the bear, but now the land of Henley.
*the fish, not the bear (GLENN: That came later.)

“We appreciate and respect what Mr. Henley has meant to music and we now see that our use of his name and an Eagles’ song title in our advertisement was inappropriate,” it reads in part. “For that we are deeply regretful and we apologize, not just to Mr. Henley, but to anyone else who took offense. We have learned a valuable lesson and thank Mr. Henley for helping us appreciate the importance that he and other artists place in their publicity rights.”

Been thinking about how most of my fave Henley jamz are duets. "No Mistakes," "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough." In certain moods I even welcome "Leather and Lace."

i can't quite put a dud on henley bc of boys of summer (incredible song, yeah he didn't write it but he sells it) and one of these nights (each eagle has one joint that rules - that's don's.)

I was much too, er, innocent back when I'd regularly listen to this song: the grossness that Henley's bio lends it didn't occur to me until I read your piece.

According to one of the #MeTop sites (I can’t remember what it’s called at the moment), it sounds like Don’s 16 y/o girl (or her friend at the house that night) may now be married to a California politician and readying herself to come forward about this whole ordeal.

That whole article is O_O, but the bit about Girl #1 (the 16 y/o) dying under mysterious circumstances a year later after getting clean probably takes the cake.
― ...some of y'all too woke to function (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 24 March 2018 01:46 (six years ago) link
Yup. Also that Don’s public response to all this was to blame the media by writing “Dirty Laundry.”

Re-re-post: orig. from Rolling Country, then a little tweaked for xpost A Good Day In Hell, the notorious Eagles thread:
Henley's Cass County actually doesn't suck! Quite possible that this totally unexpected impression has led me to initial overrating, but here's what I said on Rolling Country (hearing npr's post of the deluxe edition, with those four bonus covers, really did help)Don Henley's guest-star-laden Cass County turned out to be surprisingly painless, enjoyable, even. Starts with one of four well-chosen covers (all present on this deluxe edition, that is): Tift Merritt's "Bramble Rose," which he starts in relatively good voice---not just lack of the strain I remember; he actually seems to have a feel for the phrasing and pace---then hands it off to Miranda Lambert, who passes a verse to Mick Jagger---also good, even though he plays it straight. "Cost of Living" meets Merle Haggard, Martina McBride's good on "Old Flame," although the story gets cut short, probably because it's based on a real-life episode, according to him. Dolly Parton is excellent, duh, on the Louvin Brothers' "When I Stop Dreaming," but she doesn't obliterate Henley vocal, so give points to both vox.Some other voices are more in the background, like "two out of three Dixie Chicks," Vince Gill, Lucinda---though NPR streams aren't always as good as they should be, and my headphones are certainly not for audiophiles, but I like the way he melds near-subliminal yet unmistakable Lee Ann Womack to a chorus that would otherwise probably get monotonous.Even at least one cratedigger's catnip find, at least for me: "She Sang Hymns Out of Tune," with a low-key, sneaky surrealism that surely suggested some Gram Parsons originals, and had me thinking that this presentation surely is the mature, generous Henley, since Parsons reportedly loathed the Eagles--but apparently it was written by one Jesse Lee Kincaid, and recorded by Nilsson, on his Pandemonium Shadow Show (also by the Dillards on Wheatstraw Suite).Speaking of the Eagles, I never was a big fan, but the overall sense of radio-ready structures here even extends to up- and downtempo tracks that would improve several of their albums.Catchiness etc. also gets past most editorial moments, so more points for not playing the old man card too much (trepidation of atmospheric "Train In The Distance" could be felt by anyone, most likely).― dow, Thursday, October 1, 2015 1:09 PM (two years ago) Bookmark Flag Post PermalinkEven at least one cratedigger's catnip find, at least for me: "She Sang Hymns Out of Tune," with a low-key, sneaky surrealism that surely suggested some Gram Parsons originals, and had me thinking that this presentation surely is the mature, generous Henley, since Parsons reportedly loathed the Eagles--but apparently it was written by one Jesse Lee Kincaid, and recorded by Nilsson, on his Pandemonium Shadow Show (also by the Dillards on Wheatstraw Suite).---dow

DON: As much pleasure as I feel today, I can't help but feel a bit sad and self-conscious about the fact that so many of my peers aren't with me.
GHOST OF GLENN: Remember how sad and self-conscious you felt in Topanga Canyon in '74 after the case of Bud and Annie from the valley had gone home to her parens?
