Favourite Eagles Song

Eagles... been on my mix tapes and playlists for quite some time now ;--)

After the release of "The Long Run", Eagles fans thought they would never see the band perform live again, let alone release new music.

Being a fan of Don Henley's songwriting and vocals, I have always enjoyed his track "New York Minute".

When hell froze over and the band got together again (thank you Travis Tritt), Eagles performed Don's song live. I love the instrumentation... the shimmering bell keyboards 25 seconds in always gives me goose bumps:

Early Eagles, one of my faves is "Wasted Time":

The love has come and gone
The years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together
You got to leave it alone

YouTube sound quality is not awesome.

Thanks for the info and gotta say I side with The Dude. Boomers banging to the soft rock sounds of Laurel Canyon is the stuff of nightmares!

So interesting factoid about why The Dude hated the Eagles,

“A lot of fans always wondered why this was. According to the film's musical consultant, T-Bone Burnett, The Dude, who considered himself to be a quintessential anti-war counterculture hippie, felt that the Eagles were too mainstream to be part of the counterculture. Songs like "Take It Easy" sold a sense of contentment with American life at a time when most hippies were pretty pissed off about things like Vietnam, and Richard Nixon's presidency. This was The Dude's viewpoint in the film.”

And while Jeff Bridges doesn’t dislike the Eagles the band was apparently still peeved about it,

“The actor has also bumped into Glenn Frey. "I can't remember what he said exactly, but you know, my anus tightened a bit," Bridges said.”

So, full disclosure I once did an all-night Big Lebowski roleplay. We’re talking full Lebowski! I planned the night and my client had no idea what the hell was going on lol

I played Maude of course and none other than the fabulous Julia Jayde (who is coming to Ottawa soon) played Bunny for the worlds craziest threesome! I hired my GF’s boyfriend to be the chauffeur picking up “The Dude” at the airport and headed out into a zany White Russian-fueled scavenger hunt / car chase based on the film and ending in finding Bunny safe home in bikini! This was probably the high water mark of my career but I don’t rule out the possibility that I might be given the opportunity to top it.

I’m not the first to quote it here but just remember on TERB, “Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.” And facts are like bowling balls that often hit the gutter because they were thrown wrong.

Does anyone else like that slow grind, eye to eye, you got me babe lovin’? What’s your favourite soundtrack?

Me! But my favourite would be an unusual choice: Johnny Winter's "Leland, Mississippi Blues". Check it out. A fine old, hard-grinding blues-rock.

When I was in business, I had to wear suits and ties to work every day. My favourite ties were 2 that were given to me by a previous lady friend. One had gold lions on a black background, the other has red lions on a navy blue background. My wife HATED these 2 ties and would invariably put them away at the bottom or dresser drawers rather than let them hang in the closet. Every time I dug one out to wear it, I'd sing to her....
"Baby, You can't hide my LION TIES!'
.... Thank YOU!!!
