    Default I'd like a book from Bernie

    With Joe talking about publishing a book next year, I realised that I'd reall like one from Bernie. Here's why

    1) In interviews he comes across as grounded, honest, plain-speaking but also with a good perspective and no obvious grudges. In the documentary he says something about how young they were and how they all did the best they could. He took a different path and seems to have few regrets.

    2) In the Eagles story, I find the early years most exciting. It's a "rags-to-riches" story of a bunch of young men finding success. And Bernie knew when it was the right time for him to move on. It's also the part that isn't covered in Felder's book.

    3) Bernie's non-Eagles history has to be fascinating. How many people grow up in a family with 10 children? What was it like to have a "rocket scientist" for a father? His years hanging around bluegrass players and with the early country rock bands. His move to Nashville, work as a studio musician and producer etc.

    4) And back to the Eagles for a final tour after a 38-year break. I know there must be a non-disclosure agreement but I assume there's scope for writing something and having it approved.

    ETA

    5) How could I forget about the Patti Davis part? Imagine meeting a girl in a record store, falling in love and then finding out her parents are Ronald and Nancy Reagan.
