Disgusting, indeed! And trying to use Glenn's name to get away with it!:scowl: "Well respected professionals", my foot! I wonder how they were stolen to begin with. That one had the gall to try "coercing Henley into buying them back" is beyond belief. :doh: The idiot obviously didn't fully understand who he was dealing with!:armed::samurai:I'm sure he'll throw the book at them...no, the whole library!:laugh: Sic 'em, Don!!!!

I heard this on the news this morning. The one guy I remember who wrote a book about the Eagles but was never published was Ed Sands(I think that was his last name). Anyway, Don reportedly has the manuscript, but I don't know why it was never published. I can't imagine Glenn ever turning over the lyrics to anyone. They are/were so protective of their music. Of course the news only mentioned Don as the writer of the lyrics. On the news this morning they said the papers/notes are worth 1 million dollars.

Ed Sanders. If he’s the biographer referred to in the indictment, I wonder why he wasn’t charged?

One of the rare few times I'll ever tell Don Henley to use lawyers and think it's more than justified that he does - this is it. Take them to the cleaners!
Re: 3 men criminally charged over stolen lyrics from Hotel California album
Agreed. Maybe that’s why he’s so vigilant about being ripped off? Just an idea.
Re: 3 men criminally charged over stolen lyrics from Hotel California album
Yeah - I agree that Don should go full force against these guys. In Don's defense, there have been legitimate cases when he took legal action against others; however, there have also been some times when he seemed to be overly-litigious.

My point exactly Dreamer. And it makes him seem very sue-happy. However here and in cases like it it is justified IMO. Other times it's just, well, not!
