The next issue of Rolling Stone has the Eagles on the cover. There is a fascinating excerpt from the article on their site, plus a slideshow of great old pictures--many of them I have never seen before!

Very cool! Thanks for this, DF. OMG - how long has it been since I actually purchased an issue of Rolling Stone magazine - probably the last time the Eagles were on the cover back in the '70's. I'll bet it cost about $0.35 back then. I wonder what this issue will cost????

RS costs $4.50 now.
Great interview with Don. It was nice to see a mention of his wife Sharon. I wonder if she ever attends public events with him......
Thanks for the link, DF! I hope this copy of Rolling Stone will make its way to our waters!
I've got a peaceful, easy feeling
And I know Glenn won't let me down
Do you have the magazine already, share? Because the excerpt doesn't mention Sharon. I called our bookstore and they don't have this issue yet. I can't wait to read the rest of the article--Charles Young is quite an accomplished writer. Love these descriptions of Don:Originally Posted by Share1967
"His steel-blue eyes pierce all surrounding objects with consternation. And he works his jaw while he thinks, as if checking the words for taste and texture before his tongue is permitted to present them to other humans. Encyclopedic on everything from global warming to high school textbooks, he can deliver opinions like a volcano delivers lava."
That is indeed a wonderful description of Don, and great writing too!

I just got my copy of the article, and it is a fascinating read.
The entire article is great, but this part spoke to me in particular. We finally get to hear the story about Don's work boots:
"I've been playing music in those boots for 30 years. They're indestructible Red Wing work boots and they've been around the world several times. I bought them on July 7th of 1977, on the fifth anniversary of my dad's passing. He had a similar pair and he used to plow in them behind a mule. I wear them in honor of him and to remember where I came from."
I completely understand. I will never say another word about those boots.
Wow, Don is sentimental! That's a neat story! Can you believe they are that old?! Good for you, Don!
I'm with you, DF. I won't gripe anymore either!

1948-2016 Gone but not forgotten
I KNOW. I am hugely sentimental too, especially about my father, who passed away four years ago in August. Just one more reason why I am so drawn to Don.
