1948-2016 Gone but not forgotten
I had always assumed that the words of Drivin' With Your Eyes Closed were written by Don.
And he says Don is still friends with Danny Kortchmar. I thought they had fallen out.
Thanks for posting that, DF. I love your highlighted quote!

The highlighted piece really amused me! That sounds like me! Well, the part where Don corrects the punctuation and spelling. I'm probably a little more tactful, though!To help refine his songwriting skills, Lynch said Henley and Kortchmar gave him a title, a legal pad and a track on a cassette and told him to write some words to a song that became “Driving With Your Eyes Closed”. “I came in with the pad full of ideas and the first thing Don did was correct all my punctuation and spelling with a red pen. He said, ‘I can’t look at this crap, I can’t read a thing on here.’ These guys were so straight up with me, like only brothers could be. They got me reading better books and helped me step up to the plate professionally. They told me that I could really be something.”
