    Wow. I was thinking that maybe that letter was a joke!

    Don does have a way with words and I wish he would use it on his music!

    Yeah, I'm disappointed that the album and tour have been backed up yet again, but like GEF, I am content with the classics.

    Actually, if they NEVER make another album, it will be ok. My life will go on, listening to the classics still. If they end up riding off into the sunset, like one of them said, I'll still listen to the classics.

    I am in full agreement with this sentiment . I have always felt extremely lucky as a fan, to have had so many great songs from the Eagles to enjoy. This will not change whether they put out and new album or not, we will always have the many Eagles classics.

    Yes, as I said, disappointment is completely understandable. I'm disappointed, too. I just think life's too short to dwell on it to the point where your disappointment turns into something uglier. I think, if we try, we can still enjoy life without an Eagles album, lol.

    JMHO.

    OMG - that letter is too funny. I love how Don 'reams them a new one' in the letter and then signs it "Love and Kisses."

    With regard to the new album, I said it months ago in another thread here that I will believe release dates and tour dates only when there is an official announcement from the band itself. Any other information, speculation, rumor from any other source is unreliable as far as I'm concerned. When the band members themselves are inconsistent in their remarks regarding dates that is a pretty clear indication that they don't have one. Since I haven't had any real expectations, I'm not too disappointed or surprised.

    Personally, for me, I'd rather have no new album than an inferior product. While I can never have enough tours, I'll can understand why they want to have some new song ready before they tour again.

    I completely agree! I didn't mean I was crushed by the way but I do know some people who were counting on it very much. Like someone else said.......I could go on just listening to the classics and be happy! BUT.............I was looking very much forward to the tour and seeing them for the first time But no worries.....I'm sure that day will come someday. And if not........well.....there's always Keith, Wynonna, Rascal Flatts, John Mayer, Jonny Lang, Martina McBride, Marc Broussard..........er.......well let's just say there's a lot of artists that I'd still love to see

    ANYWAYS...............like I said.....I completely agree with everything you said.

    This doesn't really have anything to do with the topic, but I wonder which artists Don and the rest of the Eagles really like now days. I mean, obviously they're fans of the Chicks and Sheryl Crow (well, at least Don is lol), John Mayer, etc..... but I was just curious. OH........and I was just reading in a book that Don tried to pursue Sheryl when she first became his backup singer

    Wow........I really went off topic a lot in this post
