Don in the Press/Blogs/etc.

Very interesting piece, DF. Thanks!

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!

[Mrs Frey]

This quote is priceless:

"He once said to me that a song has to work from the waist down and from the neck up."

So THAT'S why I always love Don's songs!

Now, now, DF - you're REALLY being a bad girl this week!

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.”

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!

From today's Toronto Star:

Eagles in it for The Long Run- Disharmony behind them, Frey, Schmit, Walsh and Henley hit ACC for three shows

I especially love the last line --Bigger than all of us-Sounds pretty humble in my opinion-nice interview! Thanks for posting.

I love that Don often takes time to do quick little interviews with the local papers. It's always so nice to read them!
