Don at HOF Induction Ceremony

[Houston Debutante]

Haha, what's this about Rush and Heart? What did Don say about them? I've missed out!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

No idea what he said about Heart, but this is what therushforum.com has:

"For those who don't know, some years back, Don Henley pissed on RUSH in a mean spirited and arrogant way in an interview he gave about why the Eagles got back together. He said something like 'Why would bands like RUSH regroup, yuck.' I guess he was unaware they never broke up."

Of course, it says 'something like', so who knows what he really said let alone meant.

Is there any connection with Heart? I don't think I've ever heard of anything? Are the Eagles mentioned in the Heart book that just came out? I haven't read it yet but I think some people on here have read it.

SOMEWHERE I read that Don and Glenn were mentioned in it.

TT and TBF, you all have read it. Are they?

Don will probably induct Randy Newman.

For once, I had hoped that Glenn might have done it, given that Glenn recently covered Same Girl. But Glenn does not do these events.

Thanks for the info. So... Don and Glenn were mentioned in the Heart book? They had sex with them, I guess? Did they get rated poorly?

It's only right that Don would be the one to induct Newman ~ assuming that's what he's there for. Don appeared on Newman's music in the past.

So did Glenn.

The Wilson sisters mentioned that Don had hit on them but they turned him down (Glenn as well). I doubt the mention bothered Don terribly much, as it was pretty much expected that any man who had the chance would hit on the Wilson sisters in the 70s. lol Perhaps it hurt his pride a bit to have it known they said "no" but he's mature enough to not get his panties in a wad over it, I imagine.

As for Rush, I went and looked up the quote. Here it is, apparently from a 2002 interview:

"This seems like the logical thing to do," Henley says of the tour, which brought The Eagles to GM Place on Wednesday. "There's still a huge audience out there for us. You know, we don't mind playing the old songs, and people certainly want to hear them, and in fact, our fans would probably be content for us to keep doing that. But artistically we can't stay interested without trying to create something new. We would like to add to our body of work. We don't want to become a nostalgic act."

"I can't think of another band that has broken up for 14 years, then got back together and made a record . . .

"You do get bands like Rush getting back together," he adds. "Yuck."

This article says that Don will induct Newman. Says nothing about him performing, so that probably isn't happening! Also ticket info:
