    Well I strongly disagree with that and I’m dissapointed some feel that way but I dont wish to start an argument over it.

    I wasn't talking about Borderers who know the band well. I'm talking about the casual fans who like the Eagles but couldn't name all the members or what album came first or only know them because of their biggest hits. THOSE people are easy to brainwash. Not you.

    Yep, it was a way to get more people onboard with it. Not heartfelt in the slightest.

The only thing that would have stopped them is no or little sales.
    "Brainwashed"? So those of us that aren't opposed to them continuing are idiots and can't think for ourselves?

    I realize 3.0 is a place where those who are unhappy with the Eagles continuing can vent, but no need to get nasty.

    I do not want to argue either. We will have to agree to disagree.

    I don't consider Borderers on either side of the fence the majority. Please read what I replied to on maryc's post. I'm talking about the people who can't even name all the members or only know a few songs but couldn't name 4 albums.

    I consider Borderers to be hardcore fans, not casual fans who don't know any better.

    Hope I didn't put you on the spot.
    No, it's just that literally in the post above where YEF referred to that phrase, I had used it in response to AT.

    Thanks Mary. You must have posted this at the same time I posted my reply. Just because you are upset with a decision doesn't give you the right to be condescending and snarky.

    I think brainwash is the wrong word. I think they saw the news that the Eagles were touring again and said “Cool the Eagles are touring with Glenn Frey’s son and Vince Gill. Let’s go see them” I don’t think they either paid attention to what the band said or if they did, thought deeply about it. I don’t think what Irving and Don said effected what people’s opinion. So i don’t think brainwash is accurate. Though you are right most don’t know much about the band and are comparable to sheep in our context

    Perhaps the wrong word. More like uninformed.

    But my guess there are even people who don't even know Glenn is gone. Probably a very small few, but I'm sure they exist. They wouldn't know anything about the band besides "Oooh, Hotel California!".

    Sheep is right. And no, I'm not putting anyone on this board in that group, if it wasn't already clear.
