Don't worry...you're not! One of my strange random thoughts is that I'll think of things in "Eagles time." For example, if I'm driving to a meeting and listening to a CD, upon arrival, I'll think something like, "Oh, that took me Disc One of LROOE to drive here." Or I'll think "It takes me
One of These Nights and half of
Too Many Hands to take my shower." How weird is that?

I've listened to them on and off since the late 70's. One of the first albums I bought was Greatest Hits when I was in middle school. Groups have come and gone, but they've always been the constant in my life. Every so often, I'll get into a groove, where they are all I listen to. Back in November, I had to drive someplace at 2:30 in the morning after not getting too much sleep and I thought, "What can I listen to that will keep me from falling asleep at the wheel?" I listened to the Very Best of CDs and I've been in one of my All-Eagles-All-the-Time grooves ever since. Around this same time, I started looking online for web sites and discovered EOC. Or, maybe I heard about the new album first; I can't remember the sequence. Anyway, since November, I've been immersing myself in everything Eagles...more so than ever before. Thank you, Internet! I've listened to the equivalent of at least three of their albums every day since then (whether a full album or various songs on my MP3) . I will put on an Eagles or Henley CD to fall asleep to every night. It's kind of funny how that started. Right before Christmas, I heard a mouse in my walls (Eek!). I couldn't stand to listen to it while I was trying to sleep so I put a CD on to drown out the sound. The mouse either escaped or died within a day or two, but ever since then, I've continued to listen to them while I fall asleep. And I always know when I wake up in the morning, what the last song was that I heard. You wouldn't think that I'd be able to fall asleep to the music since I'm usually tapping my foot or singing along in my mind, but I generally can fall asleep within 3 songs or so. It's rather pleasant falling asleep to them, I must say. In January I leased a new car and I got a year's worth of satellite radio with it. I was thrilled about this and then the novelty wore off - after 2 days! I went right back to the Eagles! I'm sure at some point I'll stop listening to them as much as I am now, but right now it's all I want to listen to.

Daydreams?? Now that would be just downright crazy!

Honestly, I would have been all over these guys like white on rice given the chance! HA!
Oh, to have been invited to one of their "third encores!"
