Every time I go into (or drive by) the Troubador, or the Bar Marmont, or the place where the Palomino used to be...
I seem to recall going to the Troubadour in maybe… I guess it was 1972. I got to know Doug (Weston), and he'd let me in even though he knew i was under age - thanks, Doug, wherever you may be.
A lot of very interesting things - to put it mildly - took place at the Troubador; some of them even happened on stage. A certain member of this band, who shall remain nameless (rhymes with "High") referred to the whole scene as "The Days Of Lines And Noses."
I was 18 when I started going to the Troubador; the legal age for clubs serving drinks was (and is) 21.
I worked various Eagles tours through mid-1976. The money wasn't great, but I made up for it by going out in the audience during the encores and honing my pickpocket skills...
As I was watching my favorite show called This Is Us, the family bought a car from a car dealership called Doug Henley(I forgot the rest of the name, but it was cool and surprising to see the name Henley.
I noticed that too Shun and thought the same thing!!! :D
So, there's this new car here that seems like everyone in my city bought it, it's a Jeep, model "Night Eagle"
Every damn time I see that car around I'm like "ooohhhhh" :partytime: smiling like an idiot
Reminded me of Timothy: I bought paint for my bedroom and the name of the color is "Playin' it cool"! :smile:
(It's a light gray)
This is not a political post, I swear! But the comment in response to the article just cracked me up. Your mileage may vary...
I'm a theater costume designer and was recently hired for a gig that is a 2-hour drive from my home in Vermont.A funny adventure happened on the way to the theater:
I was about 3/4 of a mile from my exit just past White River Junction,VT driving in the fast lane, or the passing lane as they call it in Vermont and had just passed a car. Coincidentally, I was putting in CD #2 of The Very Best of the Eagles.
I was only going 72mph, which is my usual speed on the interstate. A vehicle was in my blind spot, but slowed down. So I sped up and pulled into the driving lane. That vehicle was then behind me.
Lo & behold, it was a Vermont State Trooper.
Sure enough, he pulled me over. I thought, maybe, when I was putting the CD in it looked like I was texting & driving.
He was a nice guy. Trooper Thompson was his name. I hadn't done anything wrong. Turns out, the DMV thinks that my license expired in 2012, the year I got my California license,when we moved back there, which I'm still using.
He chit chatted with me for a minute, checked that everything was okay, and sent me on my merry way.
I wasn't speeding, wasn't on my way to a poker game with a drug dealer, no drugs in the car. Although, "Life in the Fast Lane" was playing on the CD.:grooving:
AND....
For my day job, I work in a shoe store. Every time I see a certain pair of sandal, I always sing (in my head) "got those pretty little straps around your ankles". And yes, I am going to buy 2 pair--one for everyday and one for my daughter's wedding :):grooving::inlove:
LOL CAinOH!
And cute story, MarthaJo56!
In church choir today, we sang a song called "This Blood." As soon as I saw the title on the sheet music, "this love" from "Taking You Home" popped into my head! "And this love (this looooooove) is like nothing I have ever known..."
"Taking You Home" is one of my favorite "Don" songs. And "This Blood" is just awesomely powerful. Would love to have heard y'all sing it!
It doesn't take much to remind us about the band, does it?
Right up the road from me is an apartment complex called Glendale. Every time I pass it (which I did yesterday), I just think to myself what a shame it is that they spelled it wrong. :blush:
No. It doesn't take much at all! In fact, when teaching Othello recently, I read his line that he was "one that loved not wisely, but too well" and immediately thought of "Wasted Time."
My husband and I went to St. Louis to our nephew's wedding reception Saturday night and as we were sitting in the lobby having a drink there were also lots of Chicago Blackhawks fans milling about getting ready to go to the game with the St. Louis Blues. I couldn't help remembering that Glenn wore a Blackhawks jersey back in the day. Made me kinda sad.
I was channel surfing this afternoon and landed on the Nebraska/Iowa football game. Randy of course is from Nebraska, and apparently is partial to that team since I've seen a few photos of him with "Nebraska" on his shirt. I love college football, so I watched that. Maybe he was watching as well!!! :cool:
Today all the children's choirs sung in church. They are big - one is the really little kids up to kindergarten and that had like 30 kids, and the one with all the elementary school kids had about 60!
So all these kids' parents have come to hear their babies sing and as soon as the little ones begin "Hark the Herald Angels Sing", about 20 phones shoot up in the air to record them. With the larger choir, it's twice that number.
And all I could think was "Good thing this isn't an Eagles concert or security would be all over these people!" I imagined Don sitting in a pew behind one of them, scowling disapprovingly but unable to force them to put the phone away, and I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing.
A few weeks ago, I was watching "The Good Doctor" and a recurring concern throughout the episode was which way round a toilet roll should be hung. None of the rolls had blue flowers.
:lol: OMG - Too funny ! I was just discussing this with a group of friends at lunch a few days ago. One woman in our group had to use the ladies room, she saw the toilet paper was "backwards" and fixed it before she exited the bathroom. That brought up a whole conversation on how toilet paper should be put on the roll. Most(including me) put it "over" - lol.
Lol! Not being able to say anything, I would picture him having to step outside to let off some steam! You do have to wonder if the man has no video of his kids at such an event.
From some things I have read, he was quite the...er..videographer back in the day! ;-) How things changed!
Anyway, I am glad you got to go to the program. There's nothing sweeter (or sometimes funnier) than a children's Christmas performance!
Every time I see a Duluth Trading Company commercial, I think of "Don a Henley and Take It Easy." Bet DTC wished they'd never poked that bear!
lol! Yep!
Anyone who is unfamiliar with what CAinOH is referring to - Don sued DTC for this ad:

And he won.
Ah - the old toliet paper debate again ... too funny. This is never too far from my mind because I'm one of those who prefer "under". Thank goodness I don't ever have to worry about Don using the bathroom at my house. :lol:
And also - thank goodness I don't wear Henley's because if I ever did decide to "Don a Henley", I would not be able to resist the temptation to have "Take it easy" embroidered on the front pocket in nice bright colors. :twisted:
Lol Dreamer!
Listening to Spotify today they played For Sentimental Reasons by Linda Ronstadt. Of course it reminded me of Glenn. :heart:
I know what you mean, Brooke. It's funny how we always associate any song that an Eagle covers with them no matter how many other artists have recorded it. For example, my first thought is of Glenn and Tim whenever I hear Caroline, No by The Beach Boys, I think of Don first whenever I hear Everybody Wants to Rule the World instead of Tears for Fears, and now I associate Everyday People with Joe instead of Sly & the Family Stone. Go figure!
Has anyone seen the newest Chevy truck ad? At about 30 seconds in a soldier says "I get a peaceful easy feeling" as he's crawling in mud! Reminded me! :heart:
Watch it here:

ETA: I wonder if Don knows about this! :fear:
LOL Brooke ! I don't think Don does not have any say in how the song is used as he did not write it. Does the Army need Jack's permission ?
Thanks Brooke for that video. I wonder if the Eagles have any publishing rights on songs they recorded but did not write?
Recently the hubs and I were visiting the Alamo in San Antonio, there are signs posted all around stating pictures are not allowed inside the mission, but are ok outside of the building. Well, while looking around inside there were at least 4 different people with their cameras out trying to take pictures and each time an attendant would come up and remind them that no pictures are allowed. My husband then commented "geez, and we thought Henley was bad". We both chuckled pretty good and when I looked at the attendant she was smiling along with us, who knows maybe she is an Eagles or Don Henley fan. :rofl:
Well - I had an interesting day. I work in downtown Richmond, and a new building is being built next to the one I work in. The construction workers apparently really messed up today and caused a water main to burst. We got an alert from our building management company that the parking decks in our building were starting to flood and suggesting we may want to move our cars. So - the first question on everyone's mind was move our car to where? Like most cities, in downtown Richmond, you just can't move your car to another parking deck or park on the street. Long story short - our management reached out to try to get more information and there was none. When our director came out to tell us this - she said she didn't have a 'peaceful, easy feeling' about the lack of information. I don't know if she had a clue about the song or not. But, of course, it brought a little smile to my face, in spite of the tense situation. She told us if we had work that we could do at home that we should leave. So, I worked from home this afternoon. When I left, there was about 8 inches of water in one part of the deck, but, thankfully, I was parked in an area that it hadn't reached yet. I still have not heard any update about the extent of the flooding or if they were able to shut off the water main. But, to say the least, it wasn't a 'business as usual' kind of Monday.
I was watching this show called the Passage(the show came from a book trilogy of the same name) for the last 2 months(season finale was about two weeks ago). So I decided to go back and watch a few episodes. especially when I really wasn't feeling the first episode at first. I missed a lot of stuff in the first episode.
As I was watching a scene where the two main characters Brad and Amy were at the carnival and I heard "so put me on a highway" and I was like wait I know that song. They were playing Take It To The Limit (with a woman singing it) in the background. I don't know how I missed that the first time I watched that episode. They also played the Chain.
Well, they have pretty good taste in music, shun.
I went to my 4-year old nephew's first tee-ball game yesterday and it was a hoot. During the game, we were chatting with some other families and one of the older sisters of one of the players told us a joke. She said 'I only know 25 letters of the alphabet, but I can't tell you why'. We all laughed and thought it was very cute. However, more importantly for me, was the little thing that reminded me of the Eagles. The little girl must have been around seven, so I'm sure she was totally unaware of the significance, but my older niece immediately looked at me and grinned. :grin:
