Eagles books

The under-reporting of Randy and Bernie is pretty consistent. If they didn't get much newspaper coverage at the time, there isn't a lot for book writers to go on, unless they take the time to interview people.

I'm not going to judge you on Bread. I was quite keen on David Gates, back in the day and I've sinced wondered how Jimmy Griffin fits in.

Jimmy had an interesting pre-Bread career. He grew up across the street from legendary rock singers Dorsey and Johnny Burnette. When he came west at the tender age of 18, the record company groomed him as a teen idol. He also did some movie acting.

Thank you for your soft rock tolerance

I won't judge either, NMB. I always loved Bread's songs!

Well, being a starry-eyed teenager in the 70's, I and all of my friends loved Bread...I Wanna Make It With You, Baby I'm-A Want You, etc.
Still think they're dreamy. Lol...

This youngster admits to liking Everything I Own and Baby, I'm a Want You. . Nice to find some new "nuggets".

I've always been a fan of Bread as well! I have some of their music on my iPod.

Wonderful - Bread fans are coming out of the closet.

I'm going to try to track down those reviews of the Black Tie shows that featured Bernie and Randy. Because I'm a nut, basically.

Gosh, it would be nice if there was a photograph of that line-up, or - dare I dream - a recording.

I need to do that ASAP!

The worst part of the Shapiro book is there are lots of really obvious errors - he gets names mixed up and at one point he says that Don Felder was born in Topanga Canyon.

That error also appears in the Billboard Book of Number One Hits. Are proofreaders on the endangered species list, one wonders.

The Shapiro book was published in 1995, when Randy was probably still smarting about not being included in the HFO reunion/resumption.

Henley and Azoff had very, very harsh things to say about Randy in Marc Eliot's book, published in 1998. Maybe they were getting him back, or just decided to be less discreet about what they saw as Randy's shortcomings.
