Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
No wonder Glenn (and Don?) got so frustrated about NY critics.
I'm probably being overly cranky about this because, as I mentioned in the Fleetwood Mac thread, CNN had an hour-long program about music of the Seventies last night and the only mention of the Eagles was a clip of Linda Ronstadt (also used in HOTE) about the SoCal music scene.
Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
Seriously?? The number one album of all time was released in the 70's and they don't even mention it? I hesitate to ask what they did talk about. I feel an email coming on...
Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
The Clash, Chic, The Trammps ("Disco Inferno"), Bee Gees, Sugarhill Gang, Ramones, David Bowie, Heart, Marvin Gaye, Cat Stevens, Carole King, Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, Joni Mitchell, Jackson 5
Led Zeppelin was discussed briefly - not for their music but for their airplane.
Critics don't like it when people are *too* successful.
Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
I just looked through the list and I seriously question some of the pics. No Page/Plant?! Michael Jackson?!

Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press
OMG, that lucky b*st@rd Crowe! Got to live in the Eagles Nest house while they wrote OOTN. [clenches teeth] And owns a cassette of Lyin' Eyes that is "a two-hour real-time document of the writing of one of their biggest hits, and an audio snapshot of the collaborative process that would produce so many of the Henley-Frey songs that still fill the airwaves."
That tape should be in a museum, or a songwriting class! Seriously.
P.S. I wanna see the Neal Preston alternate boat shots really bad.

I shouldn't be surprised, it is RS that we're talking about. If ever there was a 'news' outlet that had their own agenda and promoted it with every article they write, it's RS.
I have to agree about RS but #49 is too way off. Everyone here knows better.

Glenn has said that he thought that they had written more verses of Lyin' Eyes & that he wished he still had the legal pad from that writing session. Maybe Cameron has it!?
