Little things that remind you of the Eagles (5/07 - 10/15)

[sodascouts]

I was watching The Hobbit and at one point eagles come down to help fly Bilbo and the gang away from danger. As they come, Bilbo cries, "Look! The eagles are here! Hooray!" I was like "Yeah, that makes me cheer, too." lol

[ktdids]

In Stranger than Fiction, Harold Crick goes shopping for an electric guitar and Emma Thompson is doing the voice over characterization of what each guitar might say about the person playing it. The shot comes up of a double neck, and she says, "This one says 'I'm overcompensating for something, guess what it could be.'" Don't know why it made me think of the guys!

[GlennLover]

On my travels today I passed a sign that said "Frye Road". Close enough to remind me of Glenn. :)

[UndertheWire]

Watching "Nashville", whenever they show a Soundcheck van, I think of the Eagles. Soundcheck is a storage and rehearsal facility in Nashville that was set up by former Eagles roadie, Bob Thompson, with backing from Glenn Frey (although they sold it some years ago). Thompson's LA facility was called "Third Encore".

[DivineDon]

Okay, bear with me on this...

I was reading a book yesterday about Lady Gregory, a well known figure in Irish literary history. Anyway, I was reading about her because she has a connection to the guy I'm researching, George Russell. So Russsell joined an organisation back in 1897 which meant he had to spend long periods of time away from home working and he was pretty miserable about it. Lady Gregory sent him a copy of Thoreau's book, Walden because it exemplified how to live life in adverse conditions. She also sent him a copy of William HENLEY'S poem, Invictus...

...I know I'm stretching it but when you're on 'Don alert' these things mean something and I got a warm little glow when I saw the names, Thoreau, Walden and Henley :)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I'll put this here since it reminded me of the Eagles almost 30 years ago...

I just finished a Facebook chat with an old friend that I haven't really talked to in years. I have Classic Rewind on, and of course, that music was popular back when this friend and I spent so much time together. We were talking about some of the songs as they came on and the memories we had of them. Heart's Magic Man came on and my friend said, "Remember that time we were at my house listening to Glenn Frey's album?"

She couldn't remember the name of the album (Don was always her favorite) and she said 'the song about all night long'. I said "Allnighter". She laughed and said, "Yeah, we were drinking and listening to that and remember you decided that Magic Man could have been written about him? The blue eyes and the getting high and that if any man would have magic hands it would be him? And I thought it would be about Henley?"

Once she said that, then I did remember it, sort of. There was always a lot of alcohol involved back then, and so heaven knows what else we may have said. Now that she reminded me of that, I'll think of Glenn every time I hear Magic Man.

[Brooke]

VA, too funny! But......now I'm going to always think of Glenn, Magic Man, the Allnighter, and YOU when I hear it! :lol:

DD, works for me! It doesn't take much for us diehards!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

DD, works for me! It doesn't take much for us diehards!

Yeah - I'm pretty pathetic ... I was in a meeting yesterday at work and a co-worker I had never met before introduced himself as 'Joe' - you'll never guess where my mind drifted. :nod:

oh my, you're right!! I love Magic Man..and it totally could be about Glenn.
and like Brooke, I will now always think of you and Glenn when I hear it :rockon:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Well, OK....think of me...this is just weird! :wink:

I think one of them (Heart) later said who it was written about, and it wasn't Glenn, of course. I prefer to think of it my way!

[sodascouts]

Great photo!

HB and I were doing some shopping and came across a brand of tequila called "Hotel California." We of course bought it, and I made us some tequila sunrises! A photo of hers:

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b141/glennfreyonline/misc/IMG_3048.jpg

[Houston Baby]

They were yummy! :thumbsup:

[Thirsty&Hot]

love that! and very pretty Tequila Sunrise!

[Thirsty&Hot]

I just looked up this tequila, and they have a very nice website!

http://www.hotelcaliforniatequilausa.com/

the story is interesting, and one of the featured cocktails is called "Peach champagne on ice" ...close enough! haha

the hotel's website also says Welcome to Hotel California

www.hotelcalforniabaja.com

I want to stay there!

[Thirsty&Hot]

or maybe not...

Tourists Continue to be Duped by Baja's Hotel California (http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/10/8/131614/744/hotels/Tourists_Continue_to_be_Duped_by_Baja's_Hotel_Cali fornia_)

Is HOTEL CALIFORNIA of Eagles fame in Baja, Mexico? (http://www.interpacyachtcharters.com/blog/is-hotel-california-of-eagles-fame-in-baja-mexico)

[Thirsty&Hot]

it actually seems like a very nice place, all things aside...and imitation is a form of flattery right?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Nice job on those Tequila Sunrises, Soda and HB! :thumbsup:

[Brooke]

This morning a tv weatherman was talking about the weather being cool for the "boys of summer" in the All Star game tonight in Minneapolis. Couldn't help but think of Mr. Henley!

ETA: Love the Tequila Sunrises, Soda! That is a gorgeous bottle too!

[sodascouts]

Thanks for the compliments on my handiwork, guys! ;)


it actually seems like a very nice place, all things aside...and imitation is a form of flattery right?

I'm surprised they haven't gotten sued! Yeah, the hotel predates the song, but they're sure doing their best to pretend otherwise.

[sodascouts]

I wasn't sure where to put these because it's not as if I was reminded of the Eagles BY them - rather I designed them to remind my students of the Eagles, lol. Still, it's the closest we have and I didn't want to start a new topic for it.

I had them diagram the following sentences for their advanced grammar final:

(Sorry my hand-drawn diagrams are a bit messy and crooked with the lines! The students never see the answer key, though! ;) )

Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms, and the work I put between us doesn't keep me warm.

The answer:
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b141/glennfreyonline/misc/HOTMDiagram.jpg


You were trying to get away from the things you'd done.
(Note: I adjusted the lyrics a bit to get rid of the idiomatic "on the run" and diagrammed "get away" as a phrasal verb)

The answer:
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b141/glennfreyonline/misc/YBTTCDiagram.jpg


Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine left us so little to give.
(Note: I went with "cheap" modifying just "talk" instead of both "talk" and "wine" because I felt they wouldn't be drinking cheap wine, lol.)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Wow, it's been a long time since I've done sentence diagrams!!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

It's been a long time since I wanted to do sentence diagrams. However, I do applaud the instructor's effort to make this an interesting exercise. :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

Thanks! I'm not sure they enjoyed it terribly much, though!

[shunlvswx]

I hated that in school, but I wouldn't mind during those sentence diagrams with those lyrics. LOL

[Ive always been a dreamer]

In responding in another thread, I made the comment to Freypower that she seemed to "beat the odds". As soon as I typed that, I was immediately reminded of this ...

https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/images/eaglesRS79-03.jpg

[Thirsty&Hot]

I'm not sure I've ever done a grammar diagram!
I don't really understand what's going on there! haha
but I would be excited to see Eagles' lyrics in my assignment!

[zeldabjr]

it actually seems like a very nice place, all things aside...and imitation is a form of flattery right?

can't imagine Mr. Frey or Mr. Henley would be very happy about this...lol

[Thirsty&Hot]

can't imagine Mr. Frey or Mr. Henley would be very happy about this...lol

I think you're right about that! haha

[Thirsty&Hot]

my friend was playing this game called "7 Little Words" on her iPad when this popped up!
She took a screengrab and sent it to me :grin:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Pretty cool. I've never seen that game before... I know at least one answer!

[sodascouts]

Love it!

Sorry for the off-topic, Soda, but I was just wondering whether you do this (or any other) kind of linguistic exercises with the lyrics of other bands, too. I'm thinking of U2, to be precise, as I found Bono's writings absolutely amazing :-)

[sodascouts]

Fleetwood Mac is the only other band I use for my classes (typically Stevie's lyrics) - although I'm sure Bono - and any other sophisticated lyricists - would work just as well!

[Thirsty&Hot]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23GdGEzZPvE

Bobby just got this album.
Bobby said "you'd like this...he sounds like Don Henley."
The first song he played me did not have me convinced. haha
I know Don's voice too well.
But this song in particular does remind me of Boys of Summer.

they've been compared to Don Henley, Bruce Springstein, Tom Waite, Dire Straits...

anyway...from what I've heard...it is a nice airy summery 80s sounding album.
:thumbsup:

ETA: just heard another song that sounds like Young Turks by Rod Stewart

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I got a brochure in the mail this week from my local Bon Secours hospital. I was going to toss it, but decided to browse through it first. Something caught my eye on page 4 - a write up about the ER titled Life in the Fast Lane. SWEET when you can turn the ER into something positive!

[sodascouts]

Speaking of Life in the Fast Lane... I was just watching an episode of Doctor Who called "Gridlock" where a couple is so desperate to get into the "fast lane" (which requires three passengers - an HOV lane essentially) that they kidnap someone! SPOILER ALERT: Turns out the fast lane is full of monsters anyway. ;)

[Brooke]

Soda, too cool you can incorporate Eagles stuff in to work!

Don't ask me how to diagram a sentence though! It's been way too long! :fear:

[sodascouts]

I had to refresh my memory, too. I spent as many hours prepping for that class as I did teaching it. I have an instinct for grammar which has served me well as both a teacher and an editor; I just know where to put the commas and all that jazz without even thinking about it. However, when you have to actually EXPLAIN the intricacies of grammar and the logic behind the construction of the English language (which sometimes isn't so logical), it becomes a lot harder.

[Brooke]

I had a couple occasions on our trip where I was reminded of the Eagles, Don H, and you Borderers!

Stopped for a quick lunch here in South Dakota:

Not a very good picture, but.....:smile:

[Brooke]

Me again! lol

I was surprised to hear what my husband's cousin sang here:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152170569261331&set=vb.700206330&type=2&theater

I knew he could do the Eagles songs! I've watched this guy grow up and become an amazing singer! No, they're not the Eagles, but they are a top-notch act in Branson! He just signed on with them!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Brooke, cool reminders! Pretty cool about your cousin-in-law, too!

[sodascouts]

Love those, Brooke!

[GlennLover]

Those are cool, Brooke!

I was watching a movie tonight starring Rock Hudson & he mentioned the Dalton Gang. :)

[Thirsty&Hot]

Saw this upstate NY last weekend. The guy who ran the shop had a 'stache, nice turquoise rings, and kinda sounded like Glenn at bit! He was very charismatic too!

[sodascouts]

Sounds like my kind of place!

[Brooke]

Very cool, t&h!

[Prettymaid]

Looks like a cool store!

This morning at work I was going through my emails and saw one from ontrack, which is a health and lifestyle site for employees, and the subject line was Sugar: the real story.

I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the Little Things that Remind you of Other Borderers thread! :D

[Brooke]

Pm, good one! :hilarious:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Love the Desperado shop, T&H!

And PM - I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about! :lie: :lol:

that looks an awful lot like THE Eagles skull...is it?? or just similar...it's a little small for me to see.

[shunlvswx]

I was watching Garth Brooks' Blame It All On My Roots. He was talking about greatest bands in the 70s. He started singing "warm smell of colitas" He was like what the hell colitas are. So he went to the urban dictionary to find out what it means. He says don't do it. So he says part of a marijuana plant(makes sense), a region where wolves live in Arizona(he's going to throw that definition out), and then your azz. So he puts that definition into the line. Warm smell of your azz. And I was thinking I don't think that's what Don and Glenn meant for that line.

I don't know how I miss this because I watched it when it first came on, but I think I miss like an hour of it because I wasn't home.

[DivineDon]

The weather here has got a lot cooler and I was talking to my mother about it. She agreed and said 'the heat is gone...'


....I know I'm a lost cause :help:

[bluefeather]

I've found out that they serve Tequilas Sunrises here in Nice:grin:

[sodascouts]

I'm teaching History of the English Language and as I write up the materials for the class, I keep thinking History of the Eagles... lol

[MaryCalifornia]

Your class sounds fascinating, Soda. The tour guides in the Tower of London say that if you speak English/are from an English-speaking country, all of the rights that you enjoy are a direct result of the centuries of law-making that took place in the Tower. I always thought that was so cool, and your class sounds like it might touch on some similar themes.

[sodascouts]

It's about how social and political change affects language construction as well as the type of changes that took place. I love teaching it. People often take language for granted and don't really examine it. Have you ever wondered how a language that came from a little island without a terribly dense population - a language that didn't even really get started until the first century AD and didn't get going in earnest until the fifth century (compare that to the Greeks, for instance, who had produced the likes of The Odyssey in their language hundreds of years earlier) - how English went from a regional dialect to the dominant language on the planet ("dominant" in terms of everything from global commerce to academic research to pop culture to the internet) in less than 2000 years? It's a fascinating journey indeed.

from the QuizUp game app

playing Name that Rock Star... so many people are so bad at this... they have no clue who many of the rock stars are. I'm guessing they must be a younger generation.

I got to level 10 and got the title "the Biggest Groupie" :)

I'm watching the Sunday Night Football game that is in Denver tonight and they just played a snippet of Rocky Mountain Way when they came back from a commercial break. :thumbsup:

Saw this picture in Midwest Living and it reminded me of Glenn and the song Somebody!

So now, even pumpkins remind me of the Eagles! :lol:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

So now, even pumpkins remind me of the Eagles! :lol:

Love it, Brooke! That pumpkin reminds me of Somebody, too. Hey, it doesn't take much for something to remind us of the Eagles, and, to me, that's a good thing. :wink: :grin:

[Elizasong]

Saw this on FB.

[Brooke]

Good one, Es! :hilarious:

[bluefeather]

:hilarious:good, very funny Eliza

[Glennsallnighter]

Love that ES!

I was watching the Simpsons with Chris earlier this evening and they were doing a story loosely based on the movie Thelma and Louise. I was hoping they might put in some of POMPOY but sadly no!

In a previous episode they used quite a bit of NKIT

[UndertheWire]

Silicon Valley, episode 3 and they're trying to come up with a new name for the company. The suggestion is to go on a "vision quest" ie "eat a bunch of drugs and sit out in the desert until a name pops into my head."

[shunlvswx]

I was changing channels and I saw a title that caught my eye. A very old western called The Doolins of Oklahoma. It came out in 1949. Of course it was about Bill Doolin and it made me think of Doolin Dalton and Doolin Dalton/Desperdo reprise.

[Brooke]

shun, that's cool. I'd have probably had to watch it!

[shunlvswx]

It was about to go off in 30 minutes when I found it. I check to see if it was coming on again, but it wasn't.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I saw this and of course it made me think of Glenn.

[Glennsallnighter]

We were at the Rocky Horror Picture Show last night. They call first timers at it 'Virgins', just like we call Eagles concert First timers!!

[Brooke]

Too funny, Ga!

It was on Dish this weekend, but I didn't watch it! Now I'm wishing I would have!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

We were at the Rocky Horror Picture Show last night. They call first timers at it 'Virgins', just like we call Eagles concert First timers!!

So, did you take your toast to the theater with you, GA? :wink:

[UndertheWire]

In a recent interview with writer Jez Butterworth, who has a new play on Broadway:

Quite apart from taking pride in the show, Butterworth is pleased with “The River” for reasons of perversity. He talked about Neil Young, one of his musical heroes, following up his hit album of 1972, “Harvest,” with a series of more muted records, among them “Tonight’s the Night.” He said, “He’s playing ‘Tonight’s the Night’ to an English audience, and they’re screaming at him for songs off ‘Harvest’ and they’re all off ‘Tonight’s the Night,’ and at the end he goes, ‘I’m going to play you something you’ve heard before,’ and they all cheer, and he played ‘Tonight’s the Night.’ Again.”
Instead of perversity, I'm thinking "the Eagles opened on that tour and Glenn Frey has never forgotten that audience reaction."

[zeldabjr]

Tonight I was looking online for some books to buy...and I found one called "Sugar on the Edge"...and of course I thought of the birthday boy Mr. Frey...

[Houston Baby]

Cute Z!

[Brooke]

Love it, Z!

[shunlvswx]

I just came back from vacation in Branson, MO and I saw this in a store. This was too cool.

[Brooke]

Love it, shun!

[Glennsallnighter]

So, did you take your toast to the theater with you, GA? :wink:

Not this time dreamer, but I would if I went again. Might even dress up..... :wink:

[Houston Baby]

That is so cool, Shun! It looks like it was still being prepared. Did you ask the price?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - love the jacket.

And GA - glad you enjoyed the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It has become quite the cult classic. I've seen it in the theater twice, and quite honestly, don't remember much about the plot ... however, the audience was very memorable. :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

Just saw "Help Me" performed on The Voice - made me think of Glenn!

[Glennsallnighter]

Awwwww Cute!

I saw a top with 'Detroit Eagles' on it today in H&M. Made me think of a certain Detroit Eagle!!

[Houston Baby]

There was a car in front of me this morning on the way to work with a personalized license plate that said "GLFNUT" which I assumed stood for Golfnut.
Reminded me of Glenn! :nod:

[shunlvswx]

I was flipping through the channel last night, I saw a movie called Tequila Sunrise starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell. Made me think of the song. I totally forgot they had a movie called Tequila Sunrise. I still haven't watched the movies. LOL

I loved that movie! Try it, I bet you'd like it, although it's pretty old.

Now every time I see a Duluth Trading Co. commercial, I think of our guys, and especially Don!

[sodascouts]

I was reading an article on Shakespeare's treatment of lawyers in his plays... Of course, Get Over It came to mind!

[Houston Baby]

My sister-in-law's sister married a few months back which I knew.
What I didn't know until last night is her new (married) last name is FREY.
Hmmm....:hmm: I need to do some investigating!

[Brooke]

HB, very interesting! :lol:

[Glennsallnighter]

Oooooh HB! So you are related to a Mr Frey!!!

[Houston Baby]

Oooooh HB! So you are related to a Mr Frey!!!

Yes but it would be the WRONG Mr. Frey!!:hilarious:

[sodascouts]

I always thought it would be a hoot if by some strange coincidence I met and married a man named Frey and became "Nancy Frey" lol!

I've become a big Doctor Who fan and every time he talks about his home planet Gallifrey I think of Glenn (even though they say it "fray" because it's a British program).

I'm watching a show called HouseHunters and the people are looking for a home in Telluride...

I mean, they're here to stay. ;)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep Eliza - That definitely reminds me of the Eagles! :thumbsup:

And I love hearing any reference to Smuggler's Blues because I get a double - of course, it reminds me of Glenn, but it also reminds me of my sweet little pup named Smuggler. :hmm: Anyone want to guess where I got the idea for his name? :wink: :grin:

I have a couple from the last few days:

1) I was pruning some deadheads in the garden earlier this week and could not help but think of the Cadillac sticker from Boys Of Summer.

2) Last night my parents were watching a documentary about Meat Loaf which showed some of his scenes from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which included the song with the lyrics 'Whatever happened to Saturday night'. :)

As a fan of Glenn Frey we thought you would be interested in checking out Bob Seger at Toyota Center..

Yes, I am a fan of Glenn Frey. :)

[sodascouts]

To add to what GA mentioned earlier, there's another line in The Hobbit 3 (which I just saw last night) that qualifies:

As a certain character lies gravely wounded in Bilbo's arms, near death, Bilbo tries to encourage him to keep fighting for life by telling him that help has arrived: "Hold on! The eagles are here!"

As I watched it, I thought, Well, that line would give me a second wind for sure. ;)

I think this must be a first - a post relating to the Eagles which mentions Jeff Bridges WITHOUT mentioning that Big Lebowski quote... :jawdrop:

[ktdids]

There's a Reese's candy commercial with dueling guitarists. One regular Reese's cup is playing acoustic, the other sqarish looking cup is playing electric. They each start playing riffs, each one getting more elaborate, until the electric one goes all out on it's knees wailing away, the winner! All this reminds me of the Glenn and Joe duel during their show!

I watched a couple old Clint Eastwood movies recently, High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider. Loved them both and have watched them many times over the years. They brought to mind the big shoot out scene for the Desperado album cover.

Listening to Fly Like An Eagle by The Steve Miller Band. I remember when the song came out, hearing the DJ laughingly say the Eagles get pretty high.

I'm in my local pub and the band is playing 'The heat is on'...... the singer looks nothing like Glenn though :partytime:

I had to go to a baby shower this afternoon. AND PLAY GAMES. Why on earth do we still do this? Anyway, one was a crossword puzzle we had to fill in, and every clue started with the word 'mother' and it was the word that followed it that you had to fill in (like 'goose'). Of course, I thought about Glenn and what one of the answers would be if we were in Detroit... :D

and then later they sang Hotel California

Yep - I heard that. They had some nice harmonies going on, but, otherwise, I wasn't enamored with the performance. In fairness though, I've never seen anything come close to the original. :thumbsup:

Now every time I see a Duluth Trading Co. commercial, I think of Don, which is pretty often during a hockey game!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I had a very weird phenomenon happen to me this past Friday - weird almost to the point of spooky. I was driving home from work and my car's odometer turned to 60,000 miles. I happened to notice that at the same time, the thermostat was registering the outside temperature of 60°, so I thought that was pretty cool. The next moment I looked up as I was veering onto the entrance ramp of the interstate and saw the sign with the posted speed limit of 60 mph. Just when I was thinking now this is weird, I realized the license plate of the car ahead of me ended in 60. That's when I was actually a little spooked. So, what does this have to do with the Eagles? :shrug: Well, I don't know except the Eagles appeared on 60 Minutes and they are all in there 60's. :fear: :thumbsup:

[UndertheWire]

In the book I'm reading, the writer is living in a squat that they call the Roach Motel named after an insect trap. I wasn't familiar with the brand (luckily!) but the tagline is "Roaches check in, but they don't check out!" If Henley and Frey had been reading Kafka, maybe they'd have come up with something like that.

Wasn't sure where to post this but I came across this today and saw that my birth month was a fairly accurate description of me (I'm not sure if that's good or bad :grin:).
Then I decided to look at the guys birth months and found that each one fitted the description of their month fairly well - so they are well in tune with their characters....
Does anyone else think the same ??

http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b493/Lacken/birthmonths_zpsm8nbqxqi.jpg

[L101]

I've added a second slide with the rest of the current/past band members:

[sodascouts]

November lost me when "their" was used instead of "they're"'; the other errors in the descriptions were annoying, but that one's a deal-breaker for me. ;)

I can see some aspects that are applicable and some that aren't. I don't trust such charts, but I like it when they say nice things about me. ;) That's how they work, though; each one is designed to make people born that month feel special, which in turn makes them want to share the result. Still, there's no harm in having fun with it and it gives us something to talk about! :)

[jms18222]

My big brother called me up today. He just came back from riding a Harley to & from Costa Rica. He is 68.
We were talking about summer plans & I mentioned going to see the Eagles in Atlantic City. This is the big brother who enlightened me to The Eagles when he smashed my Donny Osmond cassette tape & he gave me his record player to listen to "real" music; Eagles & Linda. I never did miss that cassette after that. Funny that he remembered that from 40+ years ago. Trust me back then I didn't understand a lot of stuff, think I was around 12 or 13. He was on a semester break from college.
He was laughing saying you still like Don Henley! DUH!:thumbsup::hilarious:

[sodascouts]

But of course! ;)

Fun memory!

[NightMistBlue]

JMS, your brother sounds awesome.

Lacken, thank you so much for the additional info - the March description seems to fit Randy pretty well, though I wouldn't know about the great kisser part (tragically!)

My Eagles reminder came Sunday night while watching an episode of Columbo called "How to Dial a Murder." The killer is a film buff who goes to an old movie set where they filmed Westerns. It looked exactly like the Paramount Ranch where the boys did their cowboy shoot 'em up thing for Desperado.

[UndertheWire]

I'm looking at the details of new joiners at work and one has an address on "Glen Eyre Road". I wonder if my tablet would try to auto-correct.

[UK TimFan]

Driving on the motorway the other day I passed a van with the name 'tbs adaptions'.

From googling I think the 'tbs' in this case means 'the bathroom specialists'. :grin:

[faded to blue]

There's a player on the TB Lightning named J.T. Brown and I always hear J.D. Souther instead. I'm in far too deep lol

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Of course this reminded me of our guys. It's a tweet from a Pittsburgh reporter regarding the Riverhounds v DC United soccer game last night:


One thing I learned tonight: D.C. United fans are very adamant that you not say "the" in front of the team name. Not sure how that matters.

He followed it up with this:

Prob one of those British grammar quirks that soccer has adopted. Sorry, but I'm using American English since I'm speaking to Americans.

:wink:

[NightMistBlue]

Anyone know why the Eagles are adamant about not being called The Eagles? Is it to avoid being confused with the Philadelphia football team? Or maybe for subtle aesthetic reasons we can't discern.

Someone on another music board I visited said that Don Felder's book should properly have been entitled, "Heaven and Hell: My Life in Eagles." :)

[UndertheWire]

Henley certainly gets bothered about almost calling Led Zeppelin "The Led Zeppelin" in the doc, so maybe the band had something against "the".

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I've decided that how I'm going to handle it is this... They are a band, not a flock of birds or a football team. So using substitution, when it's appropriate to say 'band', I'll say 'Eagles'. When its appropriate to say 'the band', I'll say 'the Eagles'. At no time will I ever say 'The Eagles' :D

When listing thing alphabetically, The Eagles puts them way down the list. I never know if I should look in the 'E' section or 'T' section, because I never know if the person publishing the list knows they aren't The Eagles.

In general, I think it looks stupid to put the word 'The' in the name of a group. I can see why The Rolling Stones did it, sort of, but the rest that have the word 'the' in the title baffle me. It's not like anyone tries to make it The Philadelphia Eagles or The Pittsburgh Steelers, yet James Harrison plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I think our guys have the right of it, and I doubt it would be such a big issue except Felder made such a big deal of it being 'The' (if I remember correctly).

[Funk 50]

There is a Mancunian radio presenter who nearly always calls the band Theagles.
Apparently, he saw a local Lancashire band , cover an Eagles tune with the introduction "This next song was originally sung ba't Th' Eagles" :)

It's been pointed out to me that Glenn has never introduced a concert with "Hi! We're Eagles from California"

Well no, he doesn't, because he's talking normally so he uses normal speech. In any case he hasn't done that since the reunion.

For the record NO football (soccer) team is called 'The' because the vast majority of team names are the name of a place. Very occasionally you will hear 'the Arsenal' as in 'one-nil to the Arsenal'. Arsenal are almost alone in having been named for where they were founded (Woolwich Arsenal) & then not changing it to a more specific locality.

[GlennLover]

I have seen video in which Steve Martin, while reminiscing about the old days at the (The?) Troubadour, recalls Glenn insisting that the name was Eagles, not The Eagles. Steve commented that he thought it should be the former.

[sodascouts]

There are lots of bands who don't officially have "the" in the name, but they don't get all hot and bothered when "the" gets used/capitalized. I'm not sure why it annoys the Eagles so much.

I will say this: you'd sound a little silly if you didn't use "the" in front of "eagles" in normal speech regardless of whether it's the band name or the animal because like it or not, the band named themselves after those animals and they have to follow the rules that apply to the common noun they chose as a result. As Funk 50 has pointed out, the band members themselves realize this and use "the" when speaking about the band.

The argument about "the" is nothing more than a semantic issue and I truly hope the band considers its misuse nothing more than a mild annoyance (the T-shirts being done as a joke).

What I take away from all the hoopla is this: do not capitalize "the" in written usage as it is not a part of the name officially, and do not put "the" at all when putting the name of the band in isolation such as on a list. Both of these I keep in mind when writing about them, but neither matters when speaking about them.

Funny aside: recently on a Doctor Who forum, there was a multi-page thread heatedly debating whether the character's name was "Doctor" or "The Doctor". It's not just our guys who care! lol

This is true even for the non-geographically rooted club names - north of the border in Scotland I have never heard people refer to 'The Celtic'. Rangers is a bit different but even then it tends to be either 'The Gers' or simply Rangers.

However, 'the' is very widely used as part of the nicknames of most clubs, with obvious examples from the English Premier League include Liverpool (The Reds), Arsenal (The Gunners), Newcastle United (The Magpies) and Crystal Palace (The Eagles (!)). However there are a few that don't feature 'the' as part of the nickname, such as Tottenham Hotspur ('Spurs' is the near universal nickname) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves).

I am currently sitting in my living room with the window open and I can hear the constant chirping of a bird in the garden. It made me think of the Eagles because it reminded me of the bird chirps from Earlybird! :hilarious:

It's typical Irish summer weather here today - Overcast, humid, windy and can't decide whether or not to rain. I heard several people say "Strange weather out".

[UndertheWire]

In the lead up to the Glastonbury festival, I watched/skimmed a tv programme called Glastonbury Golden Greats. It made me think of Glenn, in particular.
Tony Bennett - apparently Glenn listens and sings along with Tony Bennett in the car.
Al Green - from One of These Nights through to True Love, Glenn had a fixation with Al Green - it's where all those falsettos come from.
James Brown - in 1992, Glenn had a picture of James Brown in his recording studio as inspiration. He also told a story about an encounter with JB on a TV appearance.
Brian Wilson - both Glenn and Timothy have recorded Caroline No, and clearly Glenn was influenced by The Beach Boys.
B.B. King - Don Felder saw him play when Don was a young man and Glenn played with King years later.
Kenny Rogers - this time, it's Don Henley and Shiloh.
Paul Simon - just a tenous link with that photo of Glenn and Paul Simon at a party.
(Other artists include Johnny Cash, Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey, but I couldn't find a link with everyone)

[AlreadyGone95]

Coming home today, I heard Jackson Browne's Doctor My Eyes on the radio. I instantly thought of Glenn and JD Souther living in the apartment above Jackson, and listening to Jackson write songs. (I've heard that Doctor My Eyes was one of those songs)

LITFL came on while we were discussing our AC trip.

[Funk 50]

The local radio station just had a chat with a local Stockport music store. They have a list on the wall of banned songs that customers are (jokingly) not allowed to play when testing out the instruments. Stairway To Heaven, Hotel California and Wonderwall top the list.

That's quite an accomplishment for the 40 year old track from across the pond.

I don't know what they'll do if Felder pops in :hilarious:

Of course, that reminded me of that other awesome solo song by Mr. Henley. I didn't say anything to him, but I was all giddy on the inside. :thumbsup:

The suburb that I moved to here in coastal NC is an eagles' sanctuary. Every time I see one flying over my house, I think of the band. The peyote-soaked outing in the Mojave Desert comes to mind when Glenn saw the eagle soaring overhead that inspired the band's name.

One of the subdivisions is named 'Eagles Watch.' No, it's not mine, but how would you like to live there? :wink:

[AlreadyGone95]

This more than a little reminder and the conversation was about the Eagles, more specifically one member in particular.

My uncle cooked a nice southern supper at his house last night for my mom, him, and myself. Given the fact they my uncle and I share super common interests in music, it's something that we talk about almost constantly. One of us brought up the Eagles and I had to talk about Glenn for a few minutes. Afterward, my uncle said " I'm going to get a shirt made for you when I have the money. It's gonna say 'I wanna be Frey'd until I die'":hilarious::rofl:

My response: Oh, I gotta post that on the Eagles forum". (I've told him about this site). It's probably the truth, too!

[GlennLover]

LOL! What a way to go - Frey'd until you die! :hilarious:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - That's a good one, AG. All I can say is get in line! :thumbsup:

[AlreadyGone95]

LOL! What a way to go - Frey'd until you die! :hilarious:

It'd probably be a fun and interesting way to go ;).

[AlreadyGone95]

Yep - That's a good one, AG. All I can say is get in line! :thumbsup:

No problem Dreamer. As long as I'm guaranteed a turn, I'll patiently wait for it! :lol:

[AlreadyGone95]

Heard ELO's Turn to Stone while eating supper at Pizza Hut. Naturally, Joe's song of the same name came to mind. :)

[AlreadyGone95]

My uncle came up with another one. He wants to put a photo of Glenn of a t-shirt, and have this below the photo: "sorry, but I like mine Frey'd". I like his other suggestion better. When he said that, this photo popped into my head. Why, I don't know.

I was watching a series about legendary gunslingers on the American Heroes Channel (AHC). One of the segments featured William "Bill" Doolin and the infamous Doolin-Dalton gang. Of course, the Desperado LP came to mind.

I actually visited the museum for that in Coffeyville for no other reason than the Eagles wrote a song about it! Fascinating stuff.

[AlreadyGone95]

In the big city near where I live, there is an apartment complex called Eagle terrace.

[AlreadyGone95]

Yesterday, I was at my uncle's house. He has several cats that are indoor/outdoor cats. One of them was inside and went to the back door. My uncle looked at the cat and said "you're not gone already are you?" I couldn't resist singing "cause I'm already gone" very badly offkey.


-----------------

Earlier today, I was listening to some Def Leppard(the band of my early teenage years). Pour Some Sugar on Me came on and I immediately thought of Glenn, which led to some other thoughts that shouldn't be posted on here! :blush: :help:. That song now has a completely new meaning to me!

[AlreadyGone95]

Apparently, there's a local company(at least I think it's local) called Poco, so I automatically thought of Randy and Timothy. I must have ridden by it a thousand times before and I just now oaid attention to the name!

[LuvTim]

I just saw an episode of Jeopardy that used Glenn Frey and "Smugglers' Blues" as the question and answer.:partytime:

[AlreadyGone95]

Very cool LT!

I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed before bed just a few minutes ago, and I see an article about Tim Tebow being cut from The Philadelphia Eagles. This is one of the comments on the article:

"He got cut by The Eagles??? Didn't know he joined the band."

The 2 replies on the comment:

"I thought with the Eagles, you can check out any time you like but you can never leave ...?"

And

"Even Don Henley gave up on him after a while."

I had a very hearty laugh at that. :hilarious:

Oh, that is so awesome, AG! That made me chuckle, too. :hilarious:

[NOLA]

I was watching a program on the WC called "Strangest Weather on Earth" and thought of Glenn's solo album of almost the same title.

[AlreadyGone95]

One of my own family members reminded me of an Eagles song. One of my great uncle(my great aunt's husband) has always been very special to me. Since I was little, there's always been this special bond between us, despite only seeing each other once or twice a year. Because he's technically an "in-law" of the family, I jokingly call him the Outlaw. When I did this at the reunion, I immediately thought of the song Outlaw Man.

[AlreadyGone95]

I'm reading James Patterson's book Unlucky 13. In it, there's a lawyer named Louis Frye. I'm wanting to change the spelling, and I'm picturing Glenn! :help:. Lol

[NOLA]

AG, speaking of the name "Frye," I think about Glenn every time I wear Frye boots. I own several pairs - they're very comfortable - not to mention the company has a long history.

Nice! I wasn't familiar with that brand, so I googled them. While the boots all look nice, they're a bit out of my price range, I'm sorry to say.

Not only that, but Glenn's full name is Glenn Lewis Frey. :partytime:

[AlreadyGone95]

Not only that, but Glenn's full name is Glenn Lewis Frey. :partytime:

I didn't even think of Glenn's middle name being the same as the character's first name , just spelled differently again. I wonder if Mr. Patterson is an Eagles fan, then?

Glenn Lewis Frey, the lawyer. That has a nice ring to, doesn't it? :hilarious:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

:hmm: I dunno about that. I think I prefer Glenn Lewis Frey, singer, songwriter! :thumbsup:

[AlreadyGone95]

I could just as well ask if George R.R. Martin is an Eagles fan because of House Frey in the Song of Ice & Fire books, but there it is pronounced 'Fray' and they are not nice people. I have seen a photo of Mr Martin with Joe, however.

[AlreadyGone95]

Earlier at Walmart, in the parking lot, there was a crow on the light pole, and it starting crowing. The song Somebody instantly started playing in my head.

[AlreadyGone95]

A friend sent me 5 vinyl records as a birthday gift. One of them is Foghat's Fool for the City album, which has the song Slow Ride on it. The chorus of the song is "Slow ride, take it easy"(it's repeated about a dozen times in the song). Guess what song popped into my head? :D

[Brooke]

:headscratch: Can't come up with it, AG! :hilarious:

[LuvTim]

:headscratch: Can't come up with it, AG! :hilarious:

Brooke, too funny.:hilarious:

[AlreadyGone95]

Ok, this is kind of pathetic.

I'm reading the book Supreme Justice by Philip Margolin. In it, there's talk of hiring a private eye (private detective). The private eye states that she turns down matrimonial work. As soon as I read that, I thought of South of Sunset, and the episode where Glenn (Cody) says "I hate this matrimonial work".

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah AG - I had a lame one too the other day when someone at work mentioned driving down a two-way street. I so wanted to asked if they were driving down the center, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have gotten it. :huh:

[AlreadyGone95]

I doubt that they would have, Dreamer.

This is a direct reminder.

I'm watching Ghostbusters 2, and I just got to the part where all of the ghosts take over NYC, and the Titanic arrives. Guess what song plays throughout the scenes? Flip City! (Co-written and sung by Glenn). I've watched the movie at least a dozen times, and I always liked the music played during those scenes. Tonight's viewing was the first time I've watched it since I became a hardcore Glenn Frey fan.(I knew that Glenn had a song on the soundtrack, but I didn't know where it was in the movie) My love for this movie has grown even more. (Yes, I like the song alot)

The title of the sermon for tomorrow's church service - Life in the Fast Lane or Right Path?

GL, Be sure to wear your brand-new Eagles t-shirt to church for that one. ;)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That's too funny, GL. Tell 'em some of your Border friends believe it's possible to do both - after all, they can be one in the same, can't they? :lol:

That's true, Dreamer! Our minister saw HotE a few months ago. He knew I was a big Eagles fan & started telling me the LITFL story & he sounded as if he was amused by it (which actually surprised me). Of course I told him that I had the HotE video so I knew the story well.

[NightMistBlue]

I was watching an episode of "Mysteries at the Museum" last night on... I believe it was the Travel Channel. They covered the story of the Dalton gang's demise in Coffeyville. On that fateful day in 1892, the outlaws decided to rob two banks at the same time. Apparently it wasn't law enforcement who gunned the baddies down, it was enraged townspeople - after all, that was *their* money in the banks. The citizen militia killed all but one of the Dalton gang. The fella who survived, Emmett Dalton, got life in prison.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - The Dalton gang is a very interesting story. It's easy to see why our guys were so intrigued.

Received a promo email this morning from L.L. Bean about a sale on women's henley shirts. It reminded me of one of the fashion staples of Mr. Henley's wardrobe, not to mention his surname.

[Glennsallnighter]

I'm off work sick and watching 'Little House on the Prairie'. Charles just said 'I know when he will sell you the crop..... when Hell Freezes Over!'

[AlreadyGone95]

What's the name of that episode GA? I'm going to keep an eye out for it because I watch Little House almost every weekday. (It comes on 2 different channels in the afternoon). I don't remember hearing that since I started watching the show a few years ago.

[Brooke]

Hope your back to normal today, Ga!

[NOLA]

On the WC this morning, the fire chief of Eagle Pass FD in southern TX was talking about rescue operations for victims of flash floods.

GA, I hope you're feeling better today! :smile:

[AlreadyGone95]

Last night, I was in the kitchen getting something to drink when I heard the Geico commercial with Kenny Rogers playing. I immediately thought of HOTE, and Kenny taking Shiloh to LA.

GA, hope you're feeling better today.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - Hope you feel better, GA.

At work yesterday, a few of my co-workers were chatting and one of them said something about 'kick 'em when they're up'. Of course, I chimed in 'with 'em when they're down'. And she said 'Who said that?' Of course, I was able to provide the answer. :rockon:
