Don grants a couple new interviews...
The Eagles to Tour Australia, but Fans Have to Stay in Their Seats and Put Away Their Phones - Don once again chastising wayward fans but says nice things about Bernie
Don Henley on the Eagles' Return to New Zealand - this one is much more interesting and pleasant! Don talks about the documentary and snarks a bit on Robert Plant. He's also still saying the solo album is coming out in the fall...
I've been listening to GnR's former manager describe how he renegotiated their contract with Geffen records in 1991. They were only about half-way through their current contract but he thought he could get a better deal. One tactic was to start planning a tour which would delay completion of the next album (sound familiar?) and that got him the meeting with Geffen where Geffen asked what he wanted in the contract.
"I want the best contract you've ever given to an artist."
"You can't have it. You will never have it."
"Why not?"
"Because Henley already has it and will always have it. He has a favored nation clause."
Some of the rest is interesting for the portrait it paints of a fractured band and the issues with managing them. It's a bit slow, though. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O53JJiLcIKw]Youtube Link[/ame]
This sounds really interesting!

" I've got a solo album coming out in the fall. It's kind of a Nashville thing. Back to my country roots. It's not this modern country stuff. It's more traditional country. I am referring to it as an album for grown-ups.
You have Alison Krauss involved in it.
She's involved and Miranda Lambert and Vince Gill and Brad Paisley and Merle Haggard. A lot of incredible guest stars. I think it's a really good record."

These people are incredible! And at least he's still talking about it! It may come out after all! And I just might have to buy it!

I am with Don here. Sorry, but if you cover a song & don't get permission to do so, you have violated their copyright, and all the blathering about making it 'new' doesn't change a thing.
Yup, I'm with Don too.

They would of been better bk at home in germany
u do have to respect others around u.
We've discussed the copyright thing before, and I think everyone knows I agree with Don on that.
This guy isn't much of a songwriter if he doesn't see the insult in someone taking a person's song and saying, "I like it but let me change this last verse, make it less cheesy." To a guy like Don who is a true songwriter, and takes it seriously, having the audacity to change the song AFTER stealing would be a real slap in the face. Well, OK, not really that. Don is a giant among songwriters, and this guy is little more than an annoying fly buzzing around in comparison.
