Hearing the Eagles or solo songs unexpectedly!

[shunlvswx]

Strictly Come Dancing (UK DWTS) opened with an "american smooth" danced to Heartache Tonight. It seemed an odd combination but in a way rather neat that the first time I've watched it this season, they had an Eagles tune.

I don't know if they played an Eagles' song on the American version, but one season(I forgot which one), the contestant and the pro had the song Best Of My Love to dance the waltz too and they were like who are the Eagles. I was shocked that they didn't know who the Eagles were or that song. I think they end up not dancing to that song and used another song.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

This morning I was driving to work and switched from the Christian music station I normally listen to (The Message) and put it on Classic Rewind. Journey was playing and I was thinking of switching to CD because I wanted to hear the Eagles, and I wanted to hear one that Don sings leads on. I was trying to decide which one I wanted to hear when Those Shoes came on the radio!

[Houston Baby]

Don't you love it when you are listening to the radio thinking I wish they would play an EAGLES song & then it comes on! Makes me smile! :thumbsup:

[Brooke]

I always love it when I'm on here and an Eagles song comes on the radio.

Just now as I mentioned in the 'what are you listening to' thread Hotel California came on the radio! Appropriate!

[Houston Baby]

I had a wonderful drive home from work yesterday. Our classic rock station is paying tribute to Hotel California this week so they have been playing the album's songs plus some old interviews. Yesterday the interview was from @ 2007/2008 and Don H. said "there's a certain sound that we make together and I can't sound like that with anyone else."
I for one LOVE that sound! :hilarious:
Then I got to hear VOL, NKIT, WT, & HC. That commute just flew by!! :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

I love that radio station!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Was listening to Classic Vinyl on the way home from work and they played Funk #49. I didn't care for the next song, so I changed it to Classic Rewind, and they were playing Life's Been Good!!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - It's hard to complain about being double-Joe'd that's for sure! :thumbsup:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I loved it! Today they played Dirty Laundry, which was great, and right now as I was reading Dreamer's reply SiriusXM Holly is playing Please Come For Christmas. Of course, they say it's by The Eagles and not Eagles.

[Jonny Come Lately]

A couple of days ago I heard Please Come Home For Christmas in a supermarket - sadly it was not the Eagles version. I can't say I was a fan of it, I thought it was rather histrionic (it was a female singer - couldn't recognise the voice though). Ultimately it reinforced how much I like Don Henley's more understated vocal, I think one of PCHFC's greatest virtues is its organic sound and lack of gimmicks which I find quite refreshing compared to a lot of other modern Christmas songs.

One little story I do have is that the first time I ever heard Busy Being Fabulous was in a store - I recognised the voice as Don's and could hear the backing vocals and guitars which gave it the stamp of an Eagles song. A pleasant surprise, good to hear one of the less well known tunes (where I come from the main two radio staples seem to be Lyin' Eyes and Life In The Fast Lane, I've heard those several times each).

[Thirsty&Hot]

On my first day back to work this week after a christmas, new years and birthday staycation, I was awoken by my alarm with the radio station playing New Kid in Town! I was like aww what a nice surprise and a great way to brighten a day when I didn't want to be getting up at 5am!

[Brooke]

I love it when that happens, too, T&H! Makes the start to the day so much better!

[Thirsty&Hot]

sure does Brooke! :)

[sodascouts]

I have an Eagles CD in my alarm clock so I get to hear it every morning. ;)

[NightMistBlue]

I have an Eagles CD in my alarm clock so I get to hear it every morning. ;)

That's a good idea. I might be less cranky and resentful in the mornings if I woke up to a refreshing blast of "Life in the Fast Lane."

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Listening to Classic Rewind and the DJ just said about how the Eagles had rough show about a week ago, then went on to say what happened at Hanging Rock. Mentioned that Glenn had told everyone to 'get out of here' and that Don assured everyone they'd be back. Then returned 45 minutes later to play One of These Nights. Then he laughed and said it was a nice thing about the Eagles, always full of humor.

I guess he doesn't know that One of These Nights was merely next on the setlist! At any rate, he followed this up with playing LITFL.

[Houston Baby]

Funny!

[GlennLover]

Watching Breakfast Television & they as about to interview a race car driver. Of course the segment opened with LITFL.

[zeldabjr]

I'm watching a hockey game Los Angeles Kings at Colorado Avalanche...in Denver...they're playing "Get Over It"...in the arena!!...I thought I was hearing things...lol

[zeldabjr]

I was watching the ABC World News Tonight...and they were doing a story about people getting really lost in the desert while using GPS...like for three days...awful...they were playing Hotel California in the background!!...

[Brooke]

Too funny Z! I could imagine that song playing if I was lost in the desert!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - if I ever get lost in the desert, please let there be Eagles music!:thumbsup:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It's been a great Eagles day on Classic Rewind (it was last weekend, too). They played HC a little while ago, then not much later Dirty Laundry. Now, they just played LITFL preceded by Glenn talking about the ride in the car and then Joe's lick during practice and that it was how the song came into being. They followed it with Bon Jovi and Wanted Dead or Alive. The DJ, Mark Goodman, then said about it being an outlaw song, and how he guessed the Eagles did the outlaw thing first. Then he paused and said he guessed Johnny Cash did it first. Made me laugh.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That was a good day, VA! I just went out to the store, and while I was shopping, they played The Long Run. It reminded me of our Survivor Game! :partytime:

[GlennLover]

Tonight on The Voice Christina Aguilera and her team sang Hotel California.

[sad-cafe]

The best part of it was the harmonies.


Wonder how they got permission to sing it

[Funk 50]

Christine and the Eagles share the same manager. I'm sure Irv has something to do with it.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Good point, F50. :thumbsup:

[Funk 50]

On the radio but unexpected.

Half asleep, I hear a song that sounds like the intro to I Can't Tell You Why then the vocals start and it is I Can't Tell You Why. and it's pretty good.

Sounds a bit like a cover of a cover but it's a potential hit to me, although I know nothing about contemporary Jazz.

DJ Mike Shaft puts it perfectly, "Originally done by The Eagles, a brand new version from DW3, that's one called I Can't Tell You Why.

Only a clip but you get an idea:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/I-Cant-Tell-You-Why/dp/B00UK64C12

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks for the link, F50. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed. I'm not crazy about the vibrato in his voice or the backup harmonies.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Wasn't the entire song, but I was shocked to here some instrumental parts of Funk 49 on FoxSports tonight. Cincinnati Reds are considered 'home team', so the station I usually listen to is blacked out (my Bucs are playing the Reds), so this is the first I've watched Fox Sports since last year. I find it odd that they are using it considering ESPN uses/used Funk 50.

I caught that too when the Cards were playing the Reds! I assume they have permission or do they need it?

[Fleurette767]

Around Christmas Please Come Home For Christmas was in rotation at the Jewel (food stores in Chicago area). When I was at the dentist a few months ago, I heard Life In the Fast Lane. He left the radio on a regular station so there it was. I suppose that's a good drilling song.

[shunlvswx]

Early this week, I went into the grocery store to get some breakfast and as I was walking into the store, they were playing Hotel California or the end of HC. They were playing the guitar duos when I walked in.

[jms18222]

Went out for happy hour tonight to finalize our plans for a weekend in NYC & to Atlantic City. Heard NKIT, LITFL & as we were leaving Rambling Man. Told my friend we were meant to go to the concert,

[GlennLover]

I heard Boys of Summer when I was in a local drugstore a couple of nights ago

[Brooke]

I heard Don Felder's Heavy Metal on a Sirius channel on our drive home from St. Louis Sunday. I've never heard it on the radio before!

[shunlvswx]

I was in the store this morning to get some breakfast and A Life Of Illusion came on. That's the first time I ever heard another song from Joe other than Rocky Mountain Way and Life's Been Good.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

For the second time in two months, SiriusXM started playing Those Shoes as I was putting on "Those Shoes", the second time was this morning. I think they were even the same pair of shoes, now that I think about it.

[AlreadyGone95]

On the way to town to get groceries yesterday, I was arguing with my mom on what radio station to listen to. Just as I was daring to change the dial, Best of my Love came on. I shut up about the statiom for 5 minutes :hilarious:.

Today, while I was waiting on my mom to get the food for our weekly lunch with my nearly 95 year old nana, I was surfing the different local rock stations. I happened to catch Hotel California just as it came on!

[Houston Baby]

[UndertheWire]

I was watching a BBC music documentary on "Easy Listening". Most of it was about the development of the instrumental "elevator" music, but as time went on, there was "easy listening" with vocals - mostly love songs - with people like Englebert Humperdink and the Carpenters. I think they were at the point of talking about crossover from the mainstream charts to the Easy Listening charts and they cited (and played) James Taylor and then a quick blast of "Take it Easy". I'm still not clear why it was there other than the "Easy" in the title as it didn't fit the format of everything that had gone before.

An aside: I had no idea how successful the Easy Listening format is. For example, pianist Richard Clayderman "As of 2006, his record sales number at approximately 150 million, and has 267 gold and 70 platinum albums to his credit."

[Funk 50]

To have the biggest selling album of the 20th Century, you have to have a toe in a few genres to attract a large cross section of the music-buying population. I'm not surprised Easy-Listening music fans enjoyed the Eagles too.

Even after they hired Joe, tracks like Wasted Time, Pretty Maids All In A Row and New Kid In Town are more M.O.R. than rock. I'm sure the Eagles get a lot of airplay on Smooth FM.

When I listen to Glenn's After Hours album, I'm fully aware that I'm enjoying music that I used to go out of my way to avoid.

I like to think that I'm older and wiser rather than just old :shrug:


I see Bruce Hornsby is releasing a compilation album featuring a live version of The End Of The Innocence. I've never heard Bruce sing it. I hope Henley don't mind.

Why would Henley mind? They co-wrote the song, didn't they?

And I am sorry but New Kid In Town is not 'MOR'. I Can't Tell You Why, perhaps. But I hate the term being applied to the Eagles. I don't think it's true.

[jms18222]

Walking through the grocery store today in search of almond flour they claim to have when Take It Easy came on. I believe this elderly gentleman thought I was coming on him to because by the 3rd pass down the aisle he was all winky face & started following me IN A WALKER! No no no...don't ruin an Eagles moment for me.
On a side note, my son is in Atlantic City today. He said mom there is a huge poster of your boys out front. He had better of taken a picture for me.

[AlreadyGone95]

On the way to town, my mom is talking about stuff that I don't care about. (We'd just had an argument and I'm not in the best of moods. We don't get along well at all, and I prefer to keep "chit chat" with her to a minimum). Anyway, as she's talking about stuff, I'm in la la land, not caring. I began to hear Lyin Eyes playing, and at first, I thought that my mind was playing tricks with me. It wasn't. Sure enough, I'm hearing the song for real, so I turn up the radio to try and help me relax and cool off. It would have worked if my mom didn't start talking louder :brickwall: :brickwall:. I managed to hear a bit of the song in between my mom's comments about her lunch. :-x

ETA: someone talking snout non important things when I'm listening to music is one of my biggest pet peeves

[AlreadyGone95]

Well, my karma turned good. I stayed in the car while my mom went into Walmart. I checked out the local radio stations, and the one out of Tallahassee, Florida played One of these Nights.

ETA : now the rock station out of Albany, Georgia (closest city) is playing Life's Been Good.

[AlreadyGone95]

I was dozing off, listening to the radio. All of a sudden, I hear the dj say "Ive got some solo Glenn Frey coming up for ya in a bit". At first, I thought that I'd dreamed it up. Ten minutes later, I hear the opening of Smuggler's Blues playing. :D

(I apologize to my mom and my pets for my terrible singing of that song)

[Houston Baby]

It was my sister's birthday today so we celebrated with a couple of friends and went as we call it - junking looking for treasures. At one of the antique stores, when I walked in I heard Visions and then After The Thrill Is Gone. I walked around the corner and sure enough, they were playing a One Of These Nights vinyl. I told my sister & friends that I was going to like that antique shop. :thumbsup:

[Jonny Come Lately]

Not a new story but I don't think I've mentioned this before and it's a good one I think!

When on holiday last summer in Spain at the hotel I was staying at with my family, there was always some form of entertainment outside every evening. This varied from night to night - they had traditional flamenco dancers one night, for instance - but on one evening there was a guitarist playing songs, mostly in English, playing (if I remember rightly) a Fender Stratocaster. After playing a few songs, he started playing a rather familiar guitar introduction - Hotel California! He played the full song and did a very decent job on the solos. The song was reworked so as to include the name of the hotel in the chorus (it scanned quite well fortunately) and although a couple of the lyrics weren't quite right it was a highly enjoyable performance.

He also played the Dire Straits song So Far Away, With A Little Help By My Friends and IIRC a couple of Santana tunes as well. It was definitely my favourite of the events they put on, that's for sure, but HC was the clear highlight as far as I was concerned.

[AlreadyGone95]

Last night, while waiting on the fireworks to start, my mom and I were listening to the radio. Due to our location, the only station that we could get in was an oldies station that plays hits from the 50s-80s. This station had a theme going of "all songs American or Summer related". (Songs like God Bless the USa by Lee Greenwood, Mustang Sally by Wilson Pickett or We're an American Band by Grand Funk Railroad). I was taken aback when I heard the opening intro to Boys of Summer. (It fits in with the summer theme). Surprisingly, I didn't hear any Eagles songs!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Watching my Bucs play the Cards, and after we struck out their pitcher and their first batter was coming to the plate, they played Glenn's "The Heat Is On." It definitely was, Carpenter hit a home run to put them up 2-1. :(

[shunlvswx]

OK. I just had a "I can't believe I doubted that it was an Eagle singing this song." :hilarious:

OK. SO I'm watching Leaving Las Vegas and Come Rain or Come Shine starts playing. I was like, "Wait is that, Don? It sounds like Don." So my crazy self Wikipedia Leaving Las Vegas to see if that was Don and sure nuff that was Don singing Come Rain or Shine. I didn't know he was part of that soundtrack.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I didn't know that, either!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

PNC Park just played Take It Easy here in the 13th inning of the Cards - Pirates game.

That's one of the best versions of that song ever; Don's vocal is brilliant. Sounds like it was recorded live but I don't know where or when. Good stuff.

[WalshFan88]

I heard Ordinary Average Guy the other day on the radio...not one you normally hear! Not a fav of his but good every now and then.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

My two sisters and I had a 'sisters' weekend down at my sister's place on the Chesapeake Bay. (I always love going down there because you have to go through a town named 'Glenns" to get there. Anyway, on Saturday night, we went to watch a band -their opening number was Take It Easy. I immediately thought of Glenn's F1 quote, 'It's going to be a good night, ladies and gentlemen'. :thumbsup:

[AlreadyGone95]

Yesterday, on my way back to the reunion, the local radio station plays a program called Flashback. It program that plays classic rock songs on a certain theme. This particular broadcast was songs about school. They played Johnny can't Read! :shock:. I don't ever remember hearing that song on the radio before!

[LuvTim]

Just recently, Deep Tracks played TBS singing a cover of CSN&Y's "Carry On" from the soundtrack of "Steal This Movie." Really beautiful.:inlove:

[NOLA]

I have Sirius XM in my SUV. One of the channels is "The Bridge," because it features soft rock and crossover hits. The DJ played "Old '55" which isn't a song normally heard on popular radio.

[UndertheWire]

I caught my husband singing the "ooh-ooh-a-a" part of "The Heat is On" this morning. I doubt he even knew what he was singing but it was certainly recognisable and I know he heard the song over the weekend. As you don't know him, you won't realise just how unexpected this was. He's more a Rush, Van Halen, Bon Jovi type.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well UTW - that's a great 'gotcha' moment if there ever was one. But it's no wonder - that song is just so catchy that it can get stuck in a person's head and stay there for days. :thumbsup:

[AlreadyGone95]

My mom listens to a "soft rock" station. I personally don't like the station because I don't like 90% of what it plays. About 2 hours ago, my mom comes into my room yelling "Eagles". The station was playing Lyin Eyes! She had to tell me because I "worship the ground the walk on". And 5 minutes ago, they played Boys of Summer. In the years my mom has listened to that station, I've never heard them play the Eagles or their solo stuff!

It's now gone back to it's normal format, unfortunately.

It was pretty funny, but also cool. I was actually in the middle of posting a reply on here when it happened.

And in case anyone is wondering, that quote is exactly what my mom said to me.

I'm really digging the Sirius XM channel, "The Bridge." They played TALA yesterday, which I think is the first time I've ever heard it on popular radio.

I was in Rite Aid this afternoon and You Belong To The City started to play.

[GlennLover]

The last two times I was in Wendy's I heardBest Of My Love.

[NightMistBlue]

Standing in line at a Safeway in Marin County and practically levitated when I heard the dulcet strains of our Eagles doing "How Long." Maybe it was a cosmic commentary on how frickin' long I'd wait in line - my ice cream partially melted, that's how long...

[AlreadyGone95]

A few weeks ago, I talked about a "soft rock" station that my mom listens to. Well, my mom is listening to it tonight in the living room and I come in there to eat a bowl of cereal. I'm not really paying attention to the radio (90% of what the station plays I don't like). Well, I just happen to hear a bit of the middle of a song, and I think "hmm this sounds familiar". Then I hear a lady singing the chorus of The Heart of the Matter. :shock:. I have no clue who the lady was, though.

I was watching a movie called Spy Game that starred Robert Redford and Brad Pritt. As they were rolling the end credits, Rocky Mountain Way started to play. They do play the whole song.

[Funk 50]

I've just read that Joe's Life Of Illusion was included in an Adam Sandler movie. Joe could release an album of Movie Soundtrack tunes.

[NOLA]

Just watched the premiere of "American Horror Story: Hotel," and the song that played before the end credits was HC. Given the storyline is about a haunted hotel, I guess it's not that far fetched the song was included in the soundtrack.

[WKMB55]

I was surprised to hear Hotel California at the end of American Horror Story--Hotel. The first episode of this season was a little too creepy and weird for me.....

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Interesting that the guys would agree to use the song in a horror show. Oh well - I guess I can't judge without seeing it. :grin:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - as I mentioned in other threads, one of my niece's got married yesterday and, with no intervention from me, there were a few Eagles songs that made the set list for the reception. Of course, there was Take It Easy and Hotel California. But, Life's Been Good and Lyin' Eyes, which is her favorite Eagles song, made the cut as well. I guess we musta done something right raising that girl! :rockon:

Congratulations to your niece and her hubby. I hope they have a long, happy and fruitful relationship. :thumbsup:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks for the well wishes, F50. The wedding was wonderful and uniquely theirs - and they are a very lovely couple. I agree Lyin' Eyes sure isn't much of a wedding song, but I guess she just went with some songs that were favorites - there were a few other odd choices as well, but it's all good. Overall, the music was very enjoyable and she made great choices for the songs that really count. :thumbsup:

[AlreadyGone95]

Congrats to your niece and her new husband, Dreamer. May they have many years of happiness together! Despite the songs not being your typical wedding songs, I'm sure that they helped make the wedding even more unique. :)

[Brooke]

Dreamer, let me congratulate your niece and her new husband as well! (I saw some pics on Fb-gorgeous girl and wedding!) At weddings I've been to most anything is played after the dedicated dances, so if they had some Eagles songs that would have made it all the better for me!

[NOLA]

Dreamer, congrats to your niece and her new hubby! May they live a long and happy life together. :smile:

At one point on Sirius XM radio today, Eagles' songs were playing simultaneously on 3 stations: Classic Vinyl, '70s on 7, and The Bridge. I was flipping the buttons back and forth to catch them all!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks for the well wishes for my niece and new nephew everyone. They are a lovely well-grounded couple and I have nothing but high hopes for them.

And after the wedding last weekend, this weekend was followed up with my high school class reunion. Honestly, I was so busy yapping with my old classmates yesterday that I wasn't paying that close attention to the music. However, a classmate that is aware of my Eagles fandom (at least somewhat) did point out when Take It Easy started playing. I hope no others escaped me. :blush:

At the beginning of the film, "Vertical Limit," Chris O'Donnell and Robin Tunney talk about TITTL while climbing a cliff. Tunney actually sings the intro.

My uncle me yesterday morning. He was in Walmart, and the PA system was playing The Heart of the Matter. He put the phone on speakerphone so that I could hear it. It sounded very different over the phone, lol.

I was in Dundrum Shopping Centre today (The other Irish Borderers may be famiiar with it). I went into the lobby where the ATMs are to withdraw some cash. 'Desperado' was playing on the sound system. I was kinda humming /mouthing along to it as I withdrew my money. Then I looked over at the other ATM and the guy taking out his money was singing it softly to himself too! (And I'd say he was half my age!!)

I'm on vacation. So I decided to go shopping. As I walked into the store, Take A Picture of This was playing on the radio. That was my first time hearing it on the radio.

I can't believe it! on crappy BBC daytime tv show Homes Under The Hammer, that has probably remained in the schedules for years, purely on the strength of the great music they play, they included a snippet of Glenn's Somebody Else. I wasn't paying enough attention to understand the relevance. It's not a song you'd easily associate with property auctions. :smile:

[UndertheWire]

Crumbs! I sometimes watch that at the gym and it's the last place I'd expect to hear Glenn.

Wow! I hate the way they use music in that show. I bet it was about renting a place out or that they were renovating it for 'somebody else'. Dave Gorman did a great rant about the show's music in his most recent Modern Life Is Goodish series.

[Glennsallnighter]

Pity I missed it!!
I was in Supervalu doing the shopping on Wednesday evening. I was tired - then realised that a whole Eagles CD seemed to be playing. Got pretty much ALL of the 'Greatest Hits' over the hour or so that we were shopping

I was listening to a radio station I usually don't listen to and All Night Long. I think that's the first time I've never heard that song on the radio.

I was sitting in Jimmie's Diner today and heard "Already Gone."

Well, FP, I'm glad you finally heard our guys unexpectedly, but now I just want to see your lovely coiffure. ;-)

[AlreadyGone95]

I've gone 2 for 2 on changing the radio stations when I got out of tange. The first time, I came on the "kinda bent, but we ain't breaking" part of The Long Run. The second time, I caught Boys of Summer just as it came on. I wonder if I'll go 3 for 3 when I have to change the station as we get closer to Panama City. Lol

[sodascouts]

I was shopping the other day when I heard "Peaceful Easy Feeling" playing over the store's speakers. It put a big smile on my face!

[Glennsallnighter]

I bet is did Soda, I was at my work Christmas party in Athlone on Friday night and the DJ played Boys of Summer at one stage!

Oh and Lacken, great to have met up again!

[L101]

Was good to meet up again GA - hope you had a good night at your Christmas party :-)

MTV Xmas keeps playing 'Please come home for Christmas ' - but it's the Jon Bon Jovi version :sad: so I just close my eyes and pretend it's the Eagles version which is soooooooooooo much better !!

[Glennsallnighter]

Oh it was great thanks Lacken - I think we will be barred from the Shamrock Lodge in future. The band made the mistake of leaving their instruments behind in between their slot and the DJ........

A similar thing happened to me the other day, L101. I was in a store and Please Come Home for Christmas started playing. I have no idea who was singing it, but it wasn't the Eagles or Bon Jovi, so I didn't know whether to post in this thread or 'Little Things that Remind You of the Eagles'. Doesn't really matter, but I totally agree about the Eagles version being the best by far! :rockon:

[UndertheWire]

Flicking through tv channels last night. Ghostbusters II! And it was in the middle of Flip City. I became obsessed with listening to the full song.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That's cool, UTW. Soda used to have an EOC YouTube Channel with a lot of these rarities of the band available for streaming, but, of course, she ended up taking it down. :sad:

[shunlvswx]

I was in Captain D's yesterday to get my mother and I something to eat and Take It Easy came on the radio.

[NightMistBlue]

Hearing Glenn's "True Love" at while shopping at Marshalls was an uplifting experience for me. Maybe not for other shoppers within earshot, as I shamelessly sang along. How can you not sing along? It's such a joyful song.

[AlreadyGone95]

At the dentist's office, and Desperado starts playing on the radio station they have just as I'm being numbed up. I take that as a good sign. It definitely made me feel a bit better.

[NOLA]

Heard "Please Come Home for Christmas" on the WC yesterday.

[Brooke]

Watching the Young & the Restless just a while ago during lunch and the great Victor Newman spat out "when hell freezes over" at one of his pions!

Made me think of Don Henley, of course! :lol:

[sodascouts]

I heard Heartache Tonight in Fuddrucker's with Houston Baby!

[LuvTim]

Heard Grace Potter's version of Please Come Home For Christmas today. Of course, no one tops the Eagles' version, but hers was pretty darn good. :rockon:

[ktdids]

Earlier this week I was having lunch at Ben's Restaurant in the city, had a craving for hot pastrami, and I must've got there during the Eagles part of their music selections, because I heard Hotel California, and then a little while after that, Ol' 55 came on! I did a double take hearing that!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yesterday in the drug store I was about ready to go up to the checkout counter when New Kid In Town came on. I stopped for a second because I wanted to hear the whole thing. Luckily, the pause reminded me that I had forgotten to pick up a birthday card for my sister, so I didn't have to wander around aimlessly with nothing to do. :grin:

[NightMistBlue]

Hopefully they didn't interrupt the song with their lame announcements, Dreamer. That always happens when a good song comes over the PA at CVS. I wanna shout, "You're ruining it, people!"

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yikes, NMB. That is lame. I guess I made the right decision when I went to Walgreens. :wink: :grin:

[shunlvswx]

I was in my car and I decided to change to another radio station. Busy Being Fabulous was on. That was the first time I've ever heard a Long Road Out Of Eden song played on the radio ever since I became a fan a few years ago.

[ktdids]

Yesterday walking around midtown Manhattan with friends, One of these Nights is blasting from a car or it's coming from the restaurant the car is parked in front of. Thought that was pretty cool for all to hear. And then later eating dinner at Chevy's, Hotel California as done by the Gypsy Kings. Couldn't get into their version, it was too Gypsy Kingish.

[Jonny Come Lately]

It's not very often that this happens to me, but I was in the car with my Dad on the way to the Tranmere Rovers match on Saturday and much to my delight New Kid In Town came on the local radio station. It was the last song they played before going into the build up to the day's matches.

I recognised it immediately, as I could hear the keyboard intro while the radio DJ was talking. My Dad knows about my username on here (it's the only good one I've ever come up with, I cringe at most of my monikers on forums) so he called it my signature song. :smile:

[Outlawman13]

Today (when driving to Austin) my satellite radio was playing Take It Easy and Hotel California! I couldn't contain my excitement! It was weird; I was thinking of Take It Easy 'cause Jackson Browne was on before the Eagles

[NOLA]

In the middle of talking to a friend through the Bluetooth phone in my SUV, the call drops and NKIT starts (or resumes) playing on a preset channel on SiriusXM.

Keep in mind this has happened three times with three different friends. Finally had to politely ask Glenn to stop interrupting my calls. Yes, it's been since 18 January.

Strange? No, not really! :grin:

[Outlawman13]

That is pretty awesome!! Glenn really does love his fans that he comes on after calls!! LOL!! I want him to disrupt me anytime of the day

[Brooke]

When my alarm clock came on this morning New Kid in Town was playing. Instantly made me sad. As I lay there listening and thinking of Glenn I realized that Strange Weather had also been playing in my subconscious mind. Why, I don't know!

[AlreadyGone95]

I'm at Walmart and Heattache Tonight is playing on the PA.

[Outlawman13]

I heard Ol' 55 when driving home from eating out!!

[GlennLover]

Just heard Seger's "Night Moves" at Wendy's, which of course, reminded me of Glenn. Then "Tequila Sunrise" came on. I was glad to hear it, but it made me sad at the same time.

[Outlawman13]

I heard The Heart Of The Matter playing at work and had to sing along with it!! One of my favvie Don Henley solo songs

[shunlvswx]

I had forgot to post this this past weekend. I went to my car to start it up, Outlaw Man was playing on the radio. This was my first time ever hearing that song on my local radio station. This station mostly play real old songs from the 50s to the 80s. I hear a lot of Eagle songs on this station. We have a station that plays only 70s and 80s. Another station that plays only 80s, 90s and today's music and of course the country stations.

[Outlawman13]

OHH that is so awesome!! I wish I had a radio station like that! I have never heard Outlaw Man on the radio before!

[buffyfan145]

I still keep hearing either Eagles songs, Glenn's, Don's, or Joe's solo songs every day on the radio & TV. Then last night my Dad was watching YouTube vids on our TV app and all of a sudden the Grammy tribute started playing and my Dad didn't even click it. LOL He went to bed before it aired on Monday but it just started playing. I know it does suggested vids based off searches but I was in the room and saw my Dad clicked on a completely different vid. I just started laughing about it and said "someone" wanted him to see it. LOL :)

[Outlawman13]

That is pretty awesome!!

I keep on hearing their stuff playing as well!! Today (at work) I heard Dirty Laundry playing and sang along with it as well!! I wonder if my work is going to play any of Glenn's solo stuff! I sure hope so

[buffyfan145]

During "CBS: This Morning" they were talking about the story of that 106 year old lady that got to meet the President and she was actually dancing with excitement as she was so happy and they (CBS) played Don's "All She Wants to Do is Dance" with the clip. It was so cute. :D

[shunlvswx]

I was heading home from church last night. And this eye commercial came on the radio and they had Lyin' Eyes playing in the background. I was like oh ok. LOL

Last week, one of my radio station played Smuggler's Blues(this is the same radio station that played Lyin' Eyes with a commercial). Its very rare to hear a solo song sung by Glenn on my local radio station.

[AlreadyGone95]

A few days ago, I heard The Confessor on a rock radio station out of Panama City, Florida. That's the first time I've heard it on the radio. Anytime I've heard a Joe solo song on the radio it's either LBG, RMW, or Turn to Stone.

[Tori]

I came home from college for the weekend, and my sister and I were blasting the radio on the drive back. We were flipping through the stations and came across the HFO version of Hotel California! Needless to say we turned it up even louder.

[AlreadyGone95]

I just got home from my uncle's, and as I passed my mom's bedroom, I heard a sax sound that sounded very familiar, and I stopped in my tracks. (My mom listens to the radio while she's sleeping). The One You Love was playing! I've never heard it on the radio before.

[Tori]

My mom, sister and I were running errands and got to talking about Glenn and the Eagles in the car as we were flipping through radio stations. Literally right after we finished talking about them, Smuggler's Blues came on. I like to think that was Glenn saying "I see you down there talking about me!" ;)

[Funk 50]

This was unexpected!

[NOLA]

Waiting outside the terminal at the airport when I heard "The End of the Innocence." Bruce Hornsby's piano intro is unmistakeable, and so is Don's voice.

[Jonny Come Lately]

I heard part of Leather and Lace on the radio today. I heard Stevie's voice first, I thought it was her but wasn't completely sure, but then Don's voice came in. I knew straight away who it was!

[FWIW]

I heard Hotel California on my daughter's iPhone while we were driving home from after running some errands!! I knew she had the song on her phone (my doing :)) but I don't think I've ever heard her play it before. Certainly not in the car.

When I commented, she acted a bit surprised and told me, "I like the Eagles, just not as much as you." I thought maybe she was just trying to get me a good mood because she wanted me to buy her something. LOL. Seriously it made my day :smile:

[chaim]

KISS doing an Eagles song was rather unexpected! They got the intro wrong rhythmwise, but it's ok. I "misheard" it too initially.

It's obvious that KISS hadn't really rehearsed it that much and it's pretty bad. :) Especially Paul forgetting the lyrics.

Starts at 1:02 mark.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBelroOVFNA#t=128

Here you can hear Paul's nice comments about the song and Glenn when they've finished it, at 2:43 mark. Also (sort of) apologizes to the audience, because they did it so badly. :) I'm glad that Paul said "a great rock'n'roller" about Glenn, because Glenn loved rock'n'roll, but people usually associate the term only with Felder and Walsh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAQ73B5Ffxo

[Jonny Come Lately]

Thank you for posting that, Toni. It was wonderful to hear KISS praise both the song and Glenn. I enjoyed the performance too, even though they botched the lyrics (Well I'm running down the road... In Winslow Arizona :lol:), I liked how they carried on with the song and then admitted that they'd messed up at the end, but the magic of the song and music itself still came through. I won't listen to this version over the original studio version or HFO or California Jam, but it did really make me smile, and although the performance was far from Eagles standard, the warmth and charm felt very genuine to me.

[Brooke]

Very nice of them and too funny! :lol:

[chaim]

Paul has had serious issues with his voice. During one of the lines (I think it was "lighten up") his voice cracks badly. He looks really frustrated and stops singing for a few seconds. Perhaps Gene should have sung this - or maybe not, because he forgets even his own lyrics he has sung for decades! :lol:

I didn't know until recently how much Paul loves Glenn. Even Gene was about to cry when he spoke about Glenn on TV. Maybe it's partly the Detroit thing. KISS was popular there before they were popular anywhere else.

[AlreadyGone95]

"Instead of the Eagles, we sound like the Beagles." :rofl: :rofl: It's the thought that counts. They should've rehearsed it once or twice. I bet if Glenn, wherever he is now, heard this version of Take It Easy, he'd probably laugh that unmistakable laugh of his, and say something like "That's why the Eagles always rehearsed each new song 100 times." I'm not a KISS fan, but Paul and Gene scored a few points with me.

[shunlvswx]

That was a funny video, but it was nice KISS to pay tribute to Glenn. I remembered that video he did the day Glenn died and he said nothing but nice things about Glenn. I was shocked he knew Glenn and it looks like Paul knew him too since he was at Glenn's funeral.

Yeah. I can see Glenn laughing his tail off at them because they forgot the words.

[chaim]

As a huge fan of both the Eagles and KISS it's great to see that there was mutual respect at least between Glenn and KISS. I don't know what Glenn actually thought about KISS in private, but when he met KISS he didn't look down on them. Gene said that when KISS was inducted to the Hall Of Fame Glenn came to meet them and said "Isn't this a great day". You could see that Gene was genuinely moved by that. It warms my heart so read/hear about warm interaction between people from such different (musical) worlds.

He was at the memorial service. We have no details on the funeral.

It was Gene Simmons who talked about Glenn on TV, not Paul Stanley.

[WalshFan88]

I heard "On The Border' on Sirius/XM the other day (either Classic Vinyl or Rewind). I hadn't heard it in a while.

[shunlvswx]

As I was heading home from church, I heard James Dean on the radio. That was the first time I've ever heard that song on the radio.

[thelastresort]

Heard Life in the Fast Lane in an outdoors shop in town today. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've heard Eagles songs in shops in this country!

[LuvTim]

That must have been a very nice surprise, tlr! :D

[Dawn]

Waiting in the exam room of an Urgent Care facility where I had gone to seek treatment for an allergic reaction I was talking to the doctor about meds I was concerned about known to cause serious side effects including meds that I told the doc may have caused Glenn Frey serious problems. Suddenly I realized Heartache Tonight was playing on the facility's MUSAK system. Of course I took that as a sign Glenn Frey was trying to tell me something .... and I pointed this out to the doctor. Wish I could say he was as certain as I was that Glenn was indeed trying to communicate. Instead he managed a small smile and gave me the predictable response - it's all about the benefits outweighing the risks. :nope:

[buffyfan145]

Last night after I was doing some writing for my new novel (the one I mentioned in the off-topic board that I have a lot of Eagles and Glenn's songs on my playlist for it) I got stuck a bit, and as a writer that drives me crazy sometimes, so I put on music to both help me through the block and stop my doubts. I turned it to our oldies station which plays a wide variety of classic hits from the 40s all the way through the early 2000s (including Eagles sometimes) and I heard an older version of "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons"!!! :D I don't know if I ever heard this version before last night as it was sung by a female singer, but that is one of my favorites Glenn did on his "After Hours" album. So that was nice to hear. Then right after that song, I change the station and it's the Eagles "Peaceful Easy Feeling" which is on my book's playlist. :D It was just weird hearing them back to back, but I needed that as I started thinking about my characters again and where the story goes next, and it made me feel better with how my story is coming along. :)

[WS82Classics]

Did hear Glenn Frey's "You Belong to the City" at Johnny's Pizza last time I was there, and have heard Don Felder's "Heavy Metal(Taking a Ride)" on Sirius-XM's "Classic Rewind" channel way back when DirecTV still carried them.

Henley is such a big fixture on 'we play everything' and '80s, 90s, & now' stations and Walsh on Classic Rock stations(I'll bet you can easily guess which two of his they always play) that I'm never too surprised when they come up in the station playlists.

"Michael Tearson's Marconi Experiment" on the online radio platform I Radio Philly played "The Last Resort" some weeks back as the closer to a show entitled "Paradise...Almost Lost," which pleased me immeasurably.

[Jonny Come Lately]

I bet I can guess the two Walsh songs they play. Would I be right in thinking that one of them features the lyric 'couldn't get much higher' and the other has a verse about a speeding Maserati? :wink:

(I say this as these two seem to be by far Joe's most recognisable solo songs where I am).

Cool that you got The Last Resort, I absolutely love the song and would have been delighted to hear it come up too.

looking at me funny and I realized I was singing pretty loudly. LOL :thud:

[buffyfan145]

Over dinner tonight with the family our conversation somehow turned to the Amish and how they send out their 18-year-old kids for a year to see how the rest of us live and have them decide if they want to live among us English, and suddenly my Dad in the kitchen started singing "In the City". LOL :lol: But the funny part wasn't just my Dad singing that song, but that my Dad's tone deaf. He doesn't even realize how bad it is and my Mom cringes all the time since she's very picky about singing and people being on key. She always jokes how she's glad my brother and I inherited her musical abilities and not my father's. LOL :D So I was laughing so much for both reasons.

That's so sweet, bf. :-) My dad and mom used to just break out in song like that, too. You've brought back some good memories for me. Thanks for sharing this. :heart:

[shunlvswx]

This was weird. I was watching a Simpsons episode on FXX. IT was about to go off and they all of a sudden started to play the opening notes of In The City. When it came back from commercial to do the end credits, they played a little bit more and had a little of Joe singing. The episode was called The Winter of His Content that came out in 2014.

[buffyfan145]

I saw that about "The Simpsons" when I was looking up on Wikipedia about the song two days ago. That episode parodied the movie "The Warriors", which the song was part of the soundtrack. But that is funny timing.

[shunlvswx]

I really wasn't watching the episode. I would glance up at my tv, but I wasn't watching that episode. I was mostly listening to it while I was on my computer. My head shot up when I heard In The City. I did beach scene at the end of the episode.

[RudieCantFail]

I heard "Rocky Mountain Way" this morning at around 8 on 98.5 KFOX (Bay Area classic rock station). When I heard the guitar intro and realized that this was the song, I was like this is effin' Joe Walsh!

Sorry about the non-Eagles username. It's no offense to them or anybody, but I was really into The Clash and just got into the Eagles due to Glenn's passing. It just didn't feel right to use an Eagles song username if I've only been into their stuff since January. I've been snooping around these boards since his passing.

No need to apologize for your username, RCF. We have plenty of members that don't use Eagles-related names. Welcome aboard and glad you decided to join us here.

Welcome Rudie. I am a fellow Northern Californian and I listen to 98.5 KFOX frequently.

Has any Eagles song made an immediate impression on you?

FWIW,

"King of Hollywood" - I like the eeriness and the guitars.
"How Long" - I remember seeing the music video for this on Vh1's Top 20 Countdown.
"Take It Easy" - I like to start my drive to school with this song.
"Heartache Tonight" - I like the drums and tried to find my dad's Eagles' Greatest Hits Vol. 2 after I heard it on the radio several months ago.

Is your username abbreviated for the song or phrase, "For What It's Worth"? I just kept thinking that it would be, or it's something personal to you.

[sodascouts]

I heard "Heartache Tonight" in Walmart. I had to stop and enjoy it.

[WS82Classics]

College Radio station in my area played "Take it Easy" earlier, and, of course, I upped the volume a ways.

[RudieCantFail]

I caught the last minute or so of "Take It to the Limit" on KFOX at around 2:45 PM. I did something stupid in a parking lot. I was parked and thought my car's engine was on, so I put the stick in reverse. I was like, "why is it slow? and then it hit me that the car wasn't started. I was so focused on the song and wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. Anyways, I learned to pay attention no matter what, even if an Eagles song is playing on the radio.

[zeldabjr]

wow! I just went to the grocery store and they played "Smuggler's Blues"...that's one I've never heard in there before!!

[buffyfan145]

This isn't really hearing but one of my friends got tagged in a picture on FB last night as he's traveling with his parents & younger brother out west and they quoted "Take it Easy" with their pic. I didn't know this but it turns out his father is originally from Winslow, Arizona and they all finally went back to see where their dad was from (as well as head out to California and Vegas while they're out there LOL). The three of them as well as his mom took a picture on the street corner and said "We're standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and it's such a fine sight to see". :D

I loved that not only because the song and how that song fits, but I've had a slight crush on my friend and he hasn't been active on FB lately till yesterday so that really was nice to see. LOL :lol:

[AlreadyGone95]

I heard Life in the Fast Lane playing on the PA system a ant O'Reilly Auto Parts store yesterday afternoon. They played 2 other rock songs while I wa in the store as well.

[shunlvswx]

I heard three Eagle songs back to back when I was heading to work this morning. I heard The Heat Is On(its very rare for my local radio station to play a Glenn solo song. This might had been my second time I heard Glenn's solo hits on the radio), Heartache Tonight and The Long Run.

[RudieCantFail]

I was watching my DVR recording of the movie, "Extraordinary Measures," and Harrison Ford's character is playing "Rocky Mountain Way" on his speakers. The lab scientists working on the enzyme tell him to turn it down, but he just turns it up. His character has disregard for most people, since he doesn't care about others.

It's not a good movie, so don't waste your time to watch this "Lifetime" movie that unfortunately got a theatrical release. I only watched it because Harrison Ford is one of my favorite actors. Yes, I torture myself with bad movies from the actors that I like the most. I watch their good ones, but I just watch the bad ones because I like watching them on screen.

[buffyfan145]

Thanks to a post I saw by one of my favorite authors Rainbow Rowell it reminded me she used Don & Stevie Nicks' song "Leather and Lace" in her novel "Landline". The story is a Christmas set one about a woman reconnecting with the younger version of her husband, thanks to what seems like a magical landline phone, while she is currently separated from said husband. "Leather and Lace" started out as a joke between the couple when they were young as they kept hearing it on dates and teasing each other about it, and ended up using it as their wedding song as it became their song. The woman keeps hearing it as well as The Beatles' "Good Day Sunshine", which is her husband's personal ringtone for her calls, while they contemplate getting divorced or staying together. It's a very sweet story (one I hope eventually becomes a Christmas movie) and Rainbow uses music like this a lot in her novels for scenes.

[buffyfan145]

Just heard Glenn's "The Heat is On" while my brother is watching the Tampa Bay Rays baseball game. :D They played it during the umpire's review over the play where they make their decision to keep or reverse the play. I immediately looked up from my laptop surprised that they played Glenn's song and my brother was laughing at my reaction. LOL

[shunlvswx]

As I was driving home from work, The Heat Is On came on the radio. This is actually the second time in maybe a week that my local radio station played a solo song by Glenn. This is very rare to hear any of Glenn's solo songs on my local radio station. I even heard Life's Been Good on the radio. My local radio station rarely plays Joe's solo songs too.

[travlnman2]

One of my local radio staions had a late night show called deep cuts. It was a classic rock station. They played Try and Love Again

[UndertheWire]

It was an awful tv show called "Bargain Hunt". An open-air antques market on a cold day and when they talk about going into the covered area, someone says they hope it's warm. At which point, I hear the familiar strains of "The Heat is On".

Cool! Always nice when you get a pleasant surprise like that. Excellent choice of song too IMO! :grin:

[Eagles7]

My daughter bought a record player and I dug out some old albums I had from my school days. I loved the movie Urban Cowboy in the day and I bought the album. It had the date 1980 on the album. I was going to play a few Tunes that I recalled, and much to my surprise I find the record is part of Asylum records and Irving Azcoff is listed at the bottom, so I couldn't believe all the goodies I find.

The soundtrack contains, The Eagles' Lying Eyes, Joe Walsh's All Night Long, and a duet by Linda Ronstatt and J.D Souther. Also, Don Henley's early mentor, Kenny Rogers has a song on there and Glenn's early mentor Bob Seegar has a song on there too. It's like one big family album! Crazy!

[Glennsallnighter]

I brought the kids into McDonalds this evening and Boys of Summer was playing in the background

[Eagles7]

Tonight on the way to work I had on Classic Rock radio and heard the opening to Take it Easy, so I turned it on full blast.

Glenn's voice sounded so young and I was really noticing how Wonderful Randy's voice sounds when he comes in on harmony on I was standing on the corner...

[Jeremy Lawrence]

My daughters are very excited about my book "Already Gone" and since I started writing it every time an Eagles song comes on one of our satellite radio stations they scream "It's a sign!". It seems to happen a lot.

Living in the Florida Keys, every restaurant, especially on the water, has entertainment/music, and it seems like everyone one of them plays an Eagles song at one point.

The last two family dinners out, both musicians started their session with an Eagles song ("Take it Easy" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling").

I can't imagine living there! Have you always lived in the keys?

[Jeremy Lawrence]

Nope. I'm an Ohio boy originally. Moved down to from Boston in 1999.
Love it! You need to visit.

[Brooke]

I just can't imagine living in a paradise like that! I've been to Miami, but we didn't take the time to drive to the keys. :sad: Maybe someday!

[AlreadyGone95]

Last night, while my mom and I were out and about, we were listening to local radio station that plays pop hits from the 60s- 80s. I've heard the Eagles on this station before, but never any solo songs. Imagine my surprise and happiness when I heard You Belong to the City!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'm trying AG! :wink:

I have one too from earlier this week - I was in the drug store and heard The Best of My Love ... and it was as beautiful as ever!

[buffyfan145]

Had some great moments last night at Keith Urban's concert in Cincinnati as both Joe and Don will be playing at the same venue (Joe tomorrow and Don next month, which I'm going to Don's) so they were playing Joe and Don's music and Eagles hits in the audio ads for the upcoming concerts. Also saw both their posters at the venue too.

But the best surprise was before we went to the concert we got there early and at the last minute decided to eat dinner before the show and the first song I hear when I open the door of the restaurant was Glenn's "The Heat is On" which made me burst out laughing. LOL :D My brother got confused and asked me what was going on and I said it's the song. My brother still didn't get it and I said "It's Glenn Frey and I keep hearing his music everywhere." Then it dawned on my brother as he actually forgot Glenn sang that song and he always liked it. LOL :lol: I also took it as a sign, as I believe in those things, that the rain we were supposed to get was going to clear out and it's a good thing we did stop there as it stormed pretty badly while we were eating and had we ate at the venue like we planned we would've been soaked. The rain left and we had a fantastic time at the concert. :mrgreen:

[Glennsallnighter]

Lovely story Buffy and I'm glad you enjoyed the show as well.
I went into a little 'roadie' called the Cabana yesterday with Laura (my 15 year old daughter) to get a late breakfast. They had music playing and the second song I heard was HITW!! I was very surprised. In a nice little follow up the next song on the playlist was 'Something Stupid' with Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman - that was one of Lauras favourites when she was only a year old and we used have it on repeat in the car!!

[buffyfan145]

Just had another funny moment as my Mom has Pandora on a 70s adult-contemporary station and while it was on commercial I joking said "I bet an Eagles song is next" and sure enough "Lyin' Eyes" started playing!!! LOL :lol: I really love this story song.

[shunlvswx]

I was one of those Treehouse of Horror episodes (Part XVI episode) on the Simpson and they started to play New Kid IN Town.

[buffyfan145]

One of my local radio stations has been having a Christmas in July weekend so over the past two days I've heard their "Please Come Home for Christmas" multiple times and that is one of my top fav Christmas songs. :D

[RudieCantFail]

Last night, I heard "Walk Away" in the pool at Harveys in South Lake Tahoe. I was like, this sounds like Joe! I'm not that familiar w/ his songs, but it's hard not to recognize his voice. My mom was there lounging, and I asked her to tell me who's singing this b/c I wasn't 100% sure. There was a TV at this poolside Cabo Wabo bar that played music and showed the songs and artists. She told me that the bar TV says "talcum powder," so I got out and saw it for myself.

[ambulance girl]

We pulled up to a dialysis facility yesterday to pick up a patient just as "one of these nights" came on the radio. Luckily, my partner was fine with listening to the song before we let dispatch know we were there

[Annoying Twit]

My partner listens to solo Don H a lot (but isn't keen on Cass Country.) Yesterday when I walked past when she was on the computer, she was playing Hotel California (the song.)

[Jonny Come Lately]

Hope you don't mind me asking, but has she ever said why she isn't keen on Cass County? Just curious to know, partly because some of the reviews of Don's tour moaned about there being too many CC songs (I personally don't think there were by any means). I'm not exactly a country devotee myself, and I like the album a lot.

[WS82Classics]

Heard "Crazy Love" by Poco playing over the speaker systems when I was at a Sprouts Farmers Market earlier in the afternoon.

[AlreadyGone95]

One of the local radio stations plays an old episode (I don't know the correct terminology.) of Casey Kasem's American Top 40 on Sunday mornings. I sometimes listen to it. This past Sunday featured one from 1978. The #12 song was Life's Been Good.

[shunlvswx]

1985 Casey Kasem's American's Top 40 Countdown episode played Not Enough Love In The World last week(the week of 7th). That was the first time I've heard that song on the radio. I think Don was either 33 or 34. I can't remember.

[buffyfan145]

"CBS This Morning" played "Life in the Fast Lane" while they were doing a story about Michael Phelps & Ryan Lochte's final Olympic swimming match up tonight!!! :D Such a fitting choice too as with swimming the top two fastest swimmers end up in the yellow lanes, so they're in the fast lanes. These two have gone back and forth on who's won since 2004, though Ryan's never beat Michael in the Olympics. It's interesting too since they're team mates and friends.

[travlnman2]

A few days ago I was watching the Five in Fox News and they played Fast Lane right before the commercials.

[travlnman2]

I was in Nantucket a few days ago and some guy in his late 20s and early 30s had One Of These Nights blasting out is car.

[WS82Classics]

Local Variety hits station was playing Don Henley's "Boys of Summer" earlier today.

[GlennLover]

When I eat at Wendy's I often hear an Eagles song as they play 70s music. The songs they play are usually the hits (for all artists). Imagine my surprise when Train Leaves Here This Morning began playing! I've never even heard it on the radio.

[buffyfan145]

So I was out shopping earlier and looking through the CD section and noticed the soundtrack for the animated series of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy". I loved the movie and in it and the comics one of the main characters Peter Quill is originally from Earth and has all these cassette tapes his mom made him when he was little full of 70s music, which were her favorites, so the film's soundtrack all had 70s songs. Turns out the TV series does as well and that it features Joe's song "Rocky Mountain Way" and the James Gang's "Walk Away" and "Funk #49" and they were included in three different episodes.

It's been renewed for a 2nd season and the film's sequel will be out next year so it'll be interesting if any Eagles songs show up on the soundtrack. I have the first film's soundtrack and it's got some great songs on it.

[Annoying Twit]

"The Heat Is On" during the Olympics coverage. Possibly being played in the stadium given the sound quality. Can't remember the date or event.

[buffyfan145]

Didn't know where to post this but it was unexpected for me and a nice little find. I'm a fan of Lindsay Ell, a 27-year-old country singer/guitarist from Canada, and she posted on her Twitter and other social media sites a pic of various guitars she has but I noticed she has some magazines sitting on the table and the one sitting on the top of the stack is the old Eagles Rolling Stone mag!!! :D

https://twitter.com/lindsayell/status/770495504811687936

Lindsay is a fantastic guitarist and a huge Eagles fan herself. She posted after Glenn passed a tribute video and did an acoustic version of "Desperado". I've also met her as she had a fan party at CMA Fest last year in Nashville, and my brother has actually met her 4 times. She's such a sweet girl and so nice. Loved seeing that this morning. :D

[travlnman2]

The Heat is On was played before a commercial break on Fox and Friends yesterday.

[AlreadyGone95]

My school's wellness center plays all different kinds of music over the PA system. Classic rock is included in the mix. I've heard Aerosmith, U2, Journey, Nirvana etc so far. I hoped that maybe they might play an Eagles song. This morning, as I walked into the center after my history class, I heard the dueling guitar of Hotel California.

( My school's wellness center is the center of school. It has the cafeteria,gym, bookstore, and studying place/lounge kind of area.)

[thelastresort]

Had Hotel California and Tequila Sunrise in the same pub on the same evening in the UK last week. Never heard the latter played over here in any capacity.

[buffyfan145]

Yesterday while out with my Mom we heard Trisha Yearwood's "Walkaway Joe", which Don sings back up on, and hadn't heard it in awhile since our local country stations don't play the older songs that much anymore. Anyway, my Mom ended up asking me if Don sang that at his concert in Cincinnati, which made me laugh as I had to remind her it's Trisha's song and not his but that would've been interesting if he had. LOL :lol: But it did bring up how any singer we like we refer to songs they sang on as a guest as part of their songs too, especially since that was a big hit for Trisha in the 90s and Don was in the video. I love that song so much too.

[WS82Classics]

Was switching through channels on the radio yesterday looking for good music. Was about to settle for that Tal Bachman song "She's So High Above Me"(after passing up Eddie Money and one of Pink Floyd's more predictable songs) when I decided to check in on the College Radio station. "New Kid in Town" was playing.

Not exactly a hard choice between the two.

[RudieCantFail]

I was watching Thursday Night Football on NBC and they played the intro part of The Boys of Summer while they were talking about a timeline of the Broncos' offseason QB troubles. It started in March w/ Peyton's retirement, then Brock Osweiler's signing to Houston, then Mark Sanchez, their 1st rd draft pick, and so on. It was short, since the music didn't get to the beginning lyrics.

[shunlvswx]

I was watching the Miss America competition and Miss Tennessee sang Desperado. It was ok. I really didn't enjoy Miss Tennessee's voice. She did change the arrangement, but it was nice of her to sing Desperado.

[AlreadyGone95]

On the American Top 40 that was p!aged yesterday morning, One of These Nights was #10.

[WalshFan88]

I was at the oral surgeons today and "Ol' 55" was playing in the waiting room. Not exactly my preferred Eagles era but cool to hear.

[Witchy Woman]

I was working out to a Leslie Sansone DVD today and randomly heard The Heat Is On being used for stepping music. Pretty sure it wasn't Glenn singing, but I got a good laugh from it.

[RudieCantFail]

I heard Jack Tempchin's version of Smuggler's Blues on a re-run of Hawaii Five-0 earlier tonight, but I didn't know who sang it until I did a quick Internet search. I recognized it from the lyrics and the general sound of the song. It was the Season 6 finale and the ep was titled, O Ke Ali'i Wale No Ka'u Makemake. It's in the scene where McGarrett was shot multiple times from a dude on a helicopter while he was in a small airplane. The episode had to do with a drug ring.

Hi, everybody!! I'm a New entry in this beautiful community!!! I'm an Italian 45 girl and I love The Eagles with all my heart!! A few days ago I was very angry, I had really a bad time and suddenly what's on the radio??? Take it to limit!!!!!! I felt my heart explode!!! I felt better!!! In Italy it's a little hard that a radio plays Eagles songs... so I think that was Glenn from the Sky who wanted to help me!!! I'm crazy... I know.... 😍😍

[Motel California]

Somewhat relevant: An old woman in a guitar store recognized that I was playing Best of My Love when I was trying out a twelve string guitar.

[NightMistBlue]

Motel, I like your username very much. Welcome to The Border.

Welcome, Nadia too! Benvenuto :bye:

Thank you! The name popped into my head one day and I thought it was funny. I know I'm not the first to that joke, though.

[RudieCantFail]

It was neat hearing One of These Nights and Take It to the Limit as I was observing a raw chicken leg and thigh being dissected during my Human Bio lab today. My professor had her Pandora radio up, and I was wondering what station it was. I found out later on, and I guess Pandora doesn't really distinguish Eagles and Eagles (UK). I heard a live version of Landslide prior to hearing those two Eagles songs.

[LuvTim]

I'm having lunch in a locally owned diner. "Take It Easy" just played. Great lunchtime treat! :-)

[NightMistBlue]

Did you sing along, Luvy? I do. I have no shame.
