    Well - I'm one of those who wants to read the book with full knowledge that the story is being presented from only one biased view point. Hopefully, it will be an interesting read, and we will actually get some information that we don't already know. As far as the tales of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, I mean, c'mon, we already know these guys were the poster boys for bad behavior back in the day. I doubt that there will be many surprises.

    I bet it shows up in US bookstores eventually, I'll grab it then. I can never get enough of sex, drugs, and rocknroll.

    LOL Bomber.

    I'm the same way. I can never get enough of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll either.
    How can love survive in such a graceless age?

    Well - we've been so immersed lately with the new album that the discussion about Felder's book has kind of taken a back burner. There is another thread in the Former Eagles forum where we started some discussion, but I actually never got around to making any comments. Maybe I'll get around to that later. For now, I'll just say that I did read the book, and while it did keep my interest, I was rather disappointed about several things. First of all, it provided almost no new information that us hardcare fans didn't already know about. Also, since the name of the book included heaven and hell, I honestly thought we would get some more insight into the "heavenly" part of being an Eagle. It seemed to me that Felder's agenda was to dwell on the negative, especially how abused he felt he was treated by "the Gods". I couldn't understand if he was so miserable, why didn't he just quit instead of calling and begging Glenn not to fire him.

    I must check out some of the bigger stores in Ireland. I haven't seen it in my local Borders which is very big. But I could easily ask for it as a Christmas present also. My brother likes to do as much of his shopping as possible on the internet!

    I don't understand the 'begging' part either except that it's rather telling that at first he demanded to speak to Don, not Glenn. It apparently didn't actually dawn on him that Glenn was the leader of the band until that conversation. His protestations that he'd loved every minute of it and that they were his 'family' are hard to stomach when you read what he says about them.

    Or maybe he thought that if he talked to Don first and brought him around.......then Don could talk to Glenn on his behalf. who knows

    If that was the case, I believe the term Wishful Thinking is applicable.
