    We could almost have a whole discussion about the merits of different points in that article.
    Personally, I like 5 & 6:

    5. Don Henley is wearing the manliest peasant blouse in rock history.

    6. Don Henley’s fro.

    I also love No. 32. I wish we were all as "boring" as Glenn! $$$

    I think my favorite is:

    "21. The cover of the 1978 holiday single “Please Come Home for Christmas” backed with “Funky New Year,” which depicts the shirtless Eagles celebrating the birth of Christ by sipping Mai Tais poolside in the company of women who look as bored as they are, if not more."

    Describes that cover PERFECTLY!

    12. On the Border’s liner-note shout-out to “the fire gods Nido and Wotan.”

    Okay, can anyone explain this to me?

    Probably nicknames for their drug dealers.
