"People don't run out of dreams: People just run out of time ..."
Glenn Frey 11/06/1948 - 01/18/2016
I can't remember which interview/article it was but, if it's correct, they were engaged. From what I can recall, it was a childhood friend of Don's saying that he was going out with "the prettiest girl in town", and that he had bought her a ring and was going to marry her. She gave him an ultimatum though, and he chose to pursue his career. The journalist reflected that this probably impacted on some of Don's future work, and that leaving something behind was a thread that has run through some of his lyrics. I also remember the friend talking about Don as a kid, and saying that Don's mother was lovely but had absolutely no control over her son!
you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--
Don looks a little like Elton John with those glasses.
Some excerpts from today's Dallas Morning News:
Former Dallas Mayor Laura Miller -- who has become quite private since leaving office in 2007 -- makes a pretty public appearance in the November issue of Traditional Home magazine.*********************************************The story credits Miller with a "David vs. Goliath" scenario -- battling massive utility company TXU to prevent "dirty" coal plants.
As she worked to raise $600,000 for an air-control study, she asked Eagles rocker Don Henley to -- her words -- help "sugar daddy it."
I bet Don makes a great "sugar daddy."
WOW, what a thought...
It was a pretty big deal about the whole Laura Miller thing here in Dallas. Since I live pretty darn close to Carrollton, it was all over the news. The day the article appeared in the DMN, I woke up about 6:15 in the morning and they were talking about it on the oldies station here and I was like what the heck is going on? Am I just dreaming or crazy? Then I saw the article in the paper.
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
