Great! I would have been so shocked when they answered my call I would have probably been speechless!

Here's a new interview with Don from Songfacts

Great interview!
A couple things got my attention. The Victim of Love question and answer:
I haven't looked but isn't VOL one of those songs that JD is also credited on, along with Glenn & Don H?Originally Posted by Don Felder
When talking about going into the studio for Road To Forever with Steve Lukather, Stephen Stills, etc... while answering the question about recording Long Run and how it about killed them, he said:
Hmmm... wonder who he's referring to.Originally Posted by Don Felder
I forgot Tommy Shaw helped with some of the writing.
He sings it high, he plays it low
I thought so but it just made it sound like he was the writer or I read it that way, anyways.

I heard your question Zelda. I was able to listen to the first part of the interview before I fell asleep.
I once talked to Henley on Rockline several years ago.
He does that all the time. It is tedious in the extreme. He probably wrote the music.
I just noticed on the previous page he said his album was much tougher & rockier than the Eagles. I disagree. Most of it is midtempo or ballads. I heard the title track yesterday & it started off well but just .... seemed to collapse into itself. I don't mean to be harsh because later, I heard Ashphalt Jungle from Airborne, a song I have always liked. I honestly believe Airborne, for all its faults, is a better album than Road To Forever because it has a certain raw charm.
A response from Don via FB:
Thanks to all those that managed to tune into Rockline last night. I always have a great time there with Bob Coburn. Thanks for all the calls as well.

You can't change the world but you can change yourself.
I was nervous enough and it was Don Felder...my heart was pounding while I was on hold waiting to talk to him...I don't know if I could even dial the phone to talk to Henley..my hands would be shaking too bad...and as for anyone else...I don't think I would even try...
