Little things that remind you of the Eagles (5/07 - 10/15)

[Peekaboo]

I recently drove to northern Oklahoma to visit some family and I saw a billboard advertising Shiloh Interprises.

Last week as I was running some errands, I spotted a truck that looked just like the one Don drove in the Taking You Home video.

This is definitely a stretch but at the casino I work at, there are many different colors and patterns. It was getting towards the end of my shift and I was standing at a dead table and realized that I was staring at the floor. For a brief second, a swirl on the carpet reminded of the Eagles. Hear me out, in my head I was picturing the big screen during Life's Been Good. I was also seeing this pic in my head. I could be wrong but I think it's during LBG when this pic was taken.

I found this pic online. Someone took this pic inside the casino I work at. Look at the carpet. I don't know if anybody else can see it but the carpet sure did remind me of the guys in concert.

I had to go to Dundalk yesterday which is half way between Dublin and Belfast. On the way I passed a van saying 'Linden Catering Company' and when I got there I saw two different signs saying 'Business as Usual'.

The best bit was when I was bringing the kids ice skating later on. Of course I was wearing my Eagles T-shirt. As we were queueing to buy the tickets a man started talking to me asking me 'which Gig were you at?' It was great to say 'Both'

[sodascouts]

I went to a friend's house for a special viewing of the six-hour BBC Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth. Both of us appreciate this movie very much. ;) I agreed to bring chips and salsa. So, I go to the local Target and I see tons of different varieties of chips and salsa. Which to get? As I'm trying to decide, I happen to see the "On the Border" brand. I immediately grabbed their salsa and chips and let me say - they're yummy!

[Glennsallnighter]

Sounds like an excellent decision Soda. I'm sure they were yummy.

Today our local council sent out their bulletin to all the homes in the area. On the back page they put all the cultural and historical events (most free) that they have planned for the next 2 months or so. No. They haven't organised a free Eagles gig, but they have adopted a new slogan

'Be Part of It, Its Part of You'

Hmmmmm! That sounds suspiciously like a certain solo song.......

I guess there must be a Glenn :heart: fan working for the council.

[Troubadour]

'Be Part of It, Its Part of You'

I love this. Totally cracked me up!

[Prettymaid]

Peek, yours is definitely a stretch but we'll let it slide... :thumbsup:

Your casino looks awesome!

[Troubadour]

I watched 'The Proposal' at the cinema today, and there was a scene, set in Alaska, with a small dog. The grandma said "Don't put him outside. The eagles will snatch him."

It's so lame, but I couldn't help a smile!

[Glennsallnighter]

Lou! Maybe 'The Eagles' will snatch the two of us when we finally make it to the States to see them

[Brooke]

Last night my local tv station was giving their sports segment on the local news. One of the coaches from a team had the last name James and called his team the James Gang!

Of course I thought of Joe's James Gang! :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

LOL that's great!

Out on the road today, I saw a...

Camaro. lol

Of course I immediately thought: "What do you say we pack up that Camaro, honey, and chase the sun until we're free!" - River of Dreams

[AmarilloByMorning]

I guest lectured today about establishing alibis in criminal homicide cases. We were picking apart an actual case that occurred from 6-10pm, and I pointed out that one of the witnesses the class hadn't suggested as a possible suspect had been "all alone at the end of the evening" and spontaneously added "the bright lights had faded to blue." Two students and the professor caught the reference and laughed out loud - blank stares from everyone else. Culture, people!

[sodascouts]

LOL! I love it!

[Peekaboo]

Last week I passed by a street that I could've swore was called Glenheaven but the closer I got to it it was actually called Glenhaven.

[sodascouts]

I like the first one better. lol

[Peekaboo]

Me too. I love all of the guys but I think being in Donheaven sounds sooo good right about now.

[eaglesvet]

I spent most of yesterday homebound with various Verizon technicians re-doing my FIOS Internet connections to my home (Yea!) (Well, not that it took most of the day, but that I finally am reliably back online...something that has not been the case most of the summer...)

Anyway, no joke, one of the techs at my home was none other than Timmy Schmit! How's that for service? Too bad I didn't realize it till he was gone! :hilarious:

[TimothyBFan]

Anyway, no joke, one of the techs at my home was none other than Timmy Schmit! How's that for service? Too bad I didn't realize it till he was gone! :hilarious:

And you didn't frickin' call me?????? :eyebrow:

[Troubadour]

I'm well over halfway through the book No Country For Old Men, and the main character has just checked into Hotel Eagle. I'd like to do the same. Just not under the same circumstances... :nervous:

[eaglesvet]

And you didn't frickin' call me?????? :eyebrow:
Oops...but I already said I didn't realize it until he was gone! :blush::fear:

[sodascouts]

I was talking to my friend earlier and she was telling me that she felt she needed to do some soul searching. Of course I immediately thought of the song but was forced to put it out of my mind in order to concentrate on what she was saying!

[AmarilloByMorning]

"Lalalala.... oh, you're having a midlife crisis? Sorry about that, I was singing in my head..."

[Peekaboo]

Of course I immediately thought of the song but was forced to put it out of my mind in order to concentrate on what she was saying!

That seems to happen to me a lot. Don't you hate it when that happens? You get a perfectly good reminder of the Eagles and would love to stay in that moment but noooo you gotta listen to what people are trying to say to you instead. :)

[Troubadour]

My mum laughed out loud earlier when she was reading a James Patterson book. She then read out to me: "I couldn't work out the song at first... then I realised it was Hotel California. By the way Nora was driving, it should've been Life In The Fast Lane."

Dontcha love it when your family and friends get those 'little things that remind them of the Eagles' too? :nod:

[AmarilloByMorning]

Kind of abstract but anyone familiar with the Tim McGraw song "Live Like You Were Dying"? The chorus mentions that the subject went "Rocky Mountain climbing" and "...gave forgiveness [he'd] been denying." Thus... Joe & Don. It also mentions "a bull named Fu Manchu," which makes me think of Travis Tritt's song "Great Day to Be Alive," which brings me to "Take It Easy." Best of all, on the third rendition of the chorus, McGRaw throws in "...and I watched an eagle as it was flying." He's clearly referencing the bird, but I choose to believe otherwise. Reality's subjective, anyway.

[Peekaboo]

Just north of Oklahoma City, I drove by a sign for Shiloh Interprises, Inc. I think it's some kind of architect or construction business. I couldn't read the whole sign while I was driving.

[Koala]

When I came from the work, I saw a poster for a concert. One of the bands was called Tequila and the Sunrise Gang!

[Brooke]

Reading my new Midwest Living magazine today there was an article about Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa. It's in Illinois near Chicago and has a fine golf course and breathtaking views. I'll bet my favorite Eagle would love it!

[Freypower]

Speaking of which here is fellow Michigander Bob Seger with Tiger Woods. I know Bob is three years older than Glenn but wow. It does make you realise how good Glenn still looks.

[EagleLady]

Yikes! He has really let himself go :fear:

[cynd1231]

I've been doing some writing...short stories and that sort of thing. The problem that I have is my characters all seem to end up with dialog that sounds like an Eagles Concert playlist......i.e.:

"I'm sorry about that, Barbara. I can't tell you why it happened."
"This new job is really interesting but I feel like I've gone from standing in one place to living life in the fast lane."
"You know, there's something sad about all the changes that have taken place since that new manager came on board."

I'M OBSESSED AND I KEEP GOING BACK AND REWRITING THE DIALOGUE WHEN I'M DOING THE EDITS -- FOR OBVIOUS REASONS! (Maybe I should turn off the stereo while I'm writing!?!)

[ticky]

LOL Cynd,.. go read The Long Story (https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1065) from the beginning.. I think you'll relate *G*

[Troubadour]

LOL Cynd! Nah. Some people struggle for that kind of inspiration! ;)

Rhonda - no better way to spend a lazy afternoon!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That is too funny, Cyndi. I guess I'm supposed to be feeling bad for you, but instead, I'm just :jealous: !!!

[cynd1231]

Sometimes I feel cursed...it's tough to have a creative mind and find yourself constantly slipping into "Eagles" mode! I just can't help myself but I've got to tell you that I've had some good laughs all by myself when I go back and read what my characters are saying. It's so automatic sometimes that when I start doing my edits I end up laughing at myself until the tears start to roll!!!!!!!! And my roommate thinks I've absolute lost my mind when that happens. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "writers block"....:brickwall:

[Brooke]

Cind, that is funny! I wish I were so creative!

Fp, I saw a similar picture of Bob and thought the same. Oh my!

[Peekaboo]

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "writers block"....:brickwall:

Yeah, but that's the kind of writers block I wouldn't mind having. ;-)

[eaglesvet]

Although I did have my laptop with me on vacation, little did I realize that we would rarely stay in an establishment that had WiFi access (who knew that Yellowstone was trying to stay 'au naturel'?) Anyway, on the day that we were driving through South Dakota (from Mount Rushmore) towards Colorado, out of the blue my husband wanted to bring up Eagles Online Central. It must have dawned on him that I was going through withdrawal, not being able to stay up till all hours of the night on my computer! I realized I must never have called it "The Border" around him, because he referred to our group :grouphug: as "the Eagles have landed"--as in, "I bet you can't wait to get back and tell 'the Eagles have landed' all about the trip, can you?" :hilarious: That was the day I thought about Maleah (SD) and anne-o-gg (CO.)

I hope that reference is not lost on the young-uns here...Neil Armstrong told Mission Control in Houston that "The Eagle has landed" when Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969.

And BTW, I am planning to tell you all about our great trip as soon as I get my pix onto the computer, so that I can illustrate as I describe!

ETA: I just realized that this might better be about the little things that remind me of other Borderers, but I can remedy that. The largest mountain peak in Yellowstone is Eagle Mountain, OK?

[Brooke]

Too funny, Ev!

Yesterday my husband and I were shopping in a local Lowe's store and What Do I Do With My Heart came on the piped in music. I stopped right there in the midst of the treated lumber and told him to listen, it's the Eagles! He looked at me and rolled his eyes and continued his search for 12 foot 2 x 12's! I stood right there till it was over. :nod:

[TimothyBFan]

We have had an extremely busy week and I gave up cooking last night so we went to Hacienda Mexican Restaurant for dinner. As soon as I sat down to the table I spotted this.
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/williehoo/0917091801-1.jpg

I pulled out my camera, positioned the little standy thing for it's pretty little picture, all the while my hubby and daughter are staring at me like I have lost my mind. Finally I was asked why I took a picture of it--had to explain we have a thread on the Border, and hubby immediately asks if it had something to do with the Eagles. DUH! They both just shook their head at me. :hilarious:

[Prettymaid]

That's okay Willie, we understand. :hug:

I can't tell by the picture - what are Pocos - tortilla chips?

[TimothyBFan]

Some kind of sweet treat--to be honest, didn't really pay any attention. :hilarious:

[sodascouts]

That's great! Reminds me of when I took a picture of the Burger King french-fry container because it had printed on the front "FryPod" lol.

[Brooke]

Willie, yes, it's ok. We here all understand! :thumbsup:

[cynd1231]

Hearing the Eagles reminds us of the Eagles, right? I was at our State Fair today and sat down to take a break when over the noise of the crowd I hear the familiar strains of Hotel California! So I followed my ears and found that one of the local radio stations was broadcasting on location and taking requests! The next 30 minutes was filled with several familiar Eagles favorites that others had already asked to hear! Cotton candy and the Eages...what more could a girl ask for!

[sodascouts]

In a political ad I just saw, the announcer says, "Politicians have too many hands." First time I've heard that phrase outside of the song!

[Troubadour]

I had a lemon and ginger herbal tea this morning, and noticed it contained the ingredient "Linden".

[sodascouts]

First off, the sandwich shop Jimmy John's in West Lafayette LOVES the Eagles! I've heard Take It Easy, Rocky Mountain High, Life's Been Good... and as I went in there today, I saw the sandwich making crew singing along to Desperado. Nice!

Then, I'm watching Poison's "Behind the Music" and apparently, when the guys were getting started, they played and hung out regularly at the TROUBADOUR!

My, times had changed!

[Glennsallnighter]

They have indeed Soda! But in a very good way. And Lou.....Linden Tea! VERY drinkable.

I got my sky digital TV in today and the very first programme announcement was for a Tom Cruise movie which combines 'A little sport and a little romance' You can guess what movie I was thinking! And I was right..... Jerry Maguire.....

[Hotel California 80]

I had a strange moment the other day. I was in a city I don't really know for work, walking down some street, and listening to 'Hotel California' (the song) on my ipod.

The very second the lyrics mention the word 'courtyard', for some reason I happened to glance across to the other side of the road, and saw this sign that read 'courtyard'. I think it was the name of a pub or something.

Just made me smile.

That is a very big co-inky-dinky! :thumbsup:

[Freypower]

I don't want to start a new topic but apparently Michael Buble covers Heartache Tonight, on his new album Crazy Love (and yes, the title track is the Van Morrison classic).

To me, just as only Don can sing Hotel California, only Glenn can sing Heartache Tonight. :-x

[Prettymaid]

Hubby likes Michael Buble. Me, not so much. My ears are bleeding just thinking about the lounge lizard sound HT will have on this cd! (Sorry MB fans.)

[GlennLover]

Hubby likes Michael Buble. Me, not so much. My ears are bleeding just thinking about the lounge lizard sound HT will have on this cd! (Sorry MB fans.)

My hubby & I both like Michael, but I don't know about him singing HT. It's such a rocker, that's what I love about it (well I love Glen's voice singing it the most)! We'll have to wait & see before we judge, but I can't see Michael rockin' it.

I totally agree. Sometimes a song can only belong to ONE singer and this is a case in point. I haven't heard Michael Bubles version but to be honest I can't see it impressing me.

[TimothyBFan]

Here it is guys!! You be the judge of it but from me it is getting a great big THUMBS DOWN!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5dbr5xHyiw

[ticky]

Well, it's not quite as "Rat Pack-ish" as I thought it'd be, but still wayyy too Vegas for that song... and yeah, it's Glenn's song, anyone else singing it sounds off..

[sodascouts]

Just listened to it and my verdict:

Um. No.

[EagleLady]

I give it two thumbs down. That is just awful :yuck:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

OMG - Many of you know that there aren't a lot of songs that I listen to and say "YIKES" (especially if it is an Eagles song), but, to me, this is just simply horrible!!! Forget the thumbsdown ... how about ...

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Koala]

I must say I don´t like this version of HT, I t is just dreadful!
http://smilies-smilies.de/smilies/angst_smilies/angst12.gif

[GlennLover]

If I had never heard the original I probably would have liked Michael's version as I do enjoy him. However, the original being one of my favourite songs by ant artist, I don't care for Michael's interpretation. I think though, that it does show the strength of the composers' songwriting skills that it can be sung successfully in different styles. I have heard it performed by a marching band & it sounded great :)! JMHO

[Brooke]

From all of your reviews, I'm not even subjecting my ears to it! :hilarious:

[Prettymaid]

I couldn't get all the way through it - it's just not my taste. I will give Michael Buble props for one song - the one he wrote called Home. It's very pretty.

[Glennsallnighter]

I was queueing yesterday to put my Christmas food order in (Yep, if you don't get it in early over here you won't get the collection date that you want) when I met a lady who was training the most adorable puppy to be a guard dog. Apparently it takes a year to train them. I'd say (Tho I'm not well up in these things) that he is a labrador puppy. Anyway we got chatting for a few minutes and inevitably I asked 'Whats your dog's Name' I nearly dropped when she answered 'Glenn'

BOY was I tempted to ask 'Has he got brothers called Timmy Don or Joe'

[AmarilloByMorning]

I haven't noticed this mentioned anywhere else; if I'm last to the party, please feel free to move/delete.

Has anyone heard Michael Buble's cover of "Heartache Tonight" on his new album Crazy Tonight? Thoughts?

Also: Why did they authorize this cover, when they have denied so many others?

[Freypower]

There were a few posts about this version in the 'Little Things That Remind Me Of The Eagles' thread. I am unable to move them into this forum because I don't moderate it.

For my own part I have no interest in hearing this version. To me only one person can sing the song.

I am not aware that the Eagles have 'denied' people doing cover versions. Could you be more specific?

And the album title is Crazy Love, because it's the Van Morrison song which Buble also covers. I am not interested in hearing that either.

[sodascouts]

No sweat. I moved the thread into this forum, and now I'm merging the Buble posts with it.

Ah, how I love my magical admin powers! ;)

[AmarilloByMorning]

Magical admin powers... which house were you in at Hogwarts? I'd assign each guy a house but hesitate to apply Slytherin to anyone. It's easy to delegate Ravenclaw/Don and Hufflepuff/Tim. Glenn/Gryffindor seems a decent fit, unintentional alliteration notwithstanding. But Slytherin/Joe obviously doesn't work. For my purposes I'll change it to Grinnerin, where, instead of evil, all members expouse the power of practical jokes. We'd have to import the Weasley twins, though; I think they and Joe would prove absolutely inseparable...

TANGENT. SORRY. Not a linear person.

Haha Freypower, tell me how you really feel! I picked up the album because I'd heard Buble covered a Nacio Brown/Arthur Freed song (I'm one of the Golden Era fans) and, scanning the tracklist, encountered HT with an indigestible goulash of trepidation and delight. Concur wholeheartedly with the assessment of the Morrison track, though.

As for the denial, it was an unauthorized presumption on my part. I assumed, since everyone* loves the Eagles and so few people cover them, in addition to that post that mentioned Frenley's general reluctance to so much as grant permission to print lines from their lyrics in books, they must have issued more than a few denials. Some rock band must have wanted to give LITFL the Metallica/"Turn the Page" treatment.

*Another assumption. I suppose I'm the donkey today.

[sodascouts]

My Harry Potter friends would love you, ABM!

BTW, it's my understanding that an artist can't deny someone the right to cover his song because once something is released, there is a "compulsory license" that allows anyone to re-record the song as long as the songwriter is duly compensated.

I think there are more Eagles covers out there than you realize - I went to the trouble of making a list of them for all of the songs Glenn Frey wrote or co-wrote. It's pretty long! http://www.glennfreyonline.com/solo/coversindex.htm

[AmarilloByMorning]

Thanks a lot soda, now I'm going to spend all afternoon on iTunes. *fabricated eyeroll* No, really; I appreciate the link. Lots of goodies. I think a few more people need to cover "Hotel California" - holy cow.

I was cognizant of the compusory license regarding live concerts but am not aware of one permitting recorded music. To my understanding the compulsory license involves only the "public performance" portion of a song's copyright, not the right to actually create, press and distribute your own version on a phonograph (CD). Whoever holds that portion of the copyright has to issue explicit permission - usually it's the record company, hence all the Countdown Singers dopplegangers and the appeal of independent labels.

I'm splitting straws, though. Bottom line is I have new material to download on the iPod. Yay!

[GlennLover]

One of our local grocery stores finally put in a self service checkout. I used it yesterday & after I completed my transaction a voice said "thank you for using The Fast Lane".

[sodascouts]

LOL GL! How cool!

I wouldn't advise listening to ALL of those suckers (although I imagine you wouldn't anyway, since it would add up monetarily). Michael Buble isn't the only one whose cover isn't quite up to par. But hey, you never know, you might like some of 'em if you choose carefully!

Whoever holds that portion of the copyright has to issue explicit permission - usually it's the record company, hence all the Countdown Singers dopplegangers and the appeal of independent labels. I guess it depends on what you mean by "own version." If it's a crazy rearrangement that no longer bears much of a resemblance to the original, you can't do it. But if you stay true to the song, it's OK to release a cover of it even without the consent of the copyright holder - hence, the "compulsory" aspect. It seems weird, doesn't it? I was surprised when I read this information, too, but I did some research and confirmed it.

I think that if you want to use the original sound recording, as opposed to using the musical composition to create your own sound recording, you have to obtain permission. Perhaps that's what you're thinking of.

This legal service (http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/music-copyright-compulsory-cover-license.html) is eager to help a cover artist obtain a compulsory license so maybe it's oversimplifying the process, but the service is quick to assure potential clients they need not be concerned about obtaining the consent of the original artist unless doing so gets them a better deal with the royalties.

[Troubadour]

I saw a sign for 'Linden Homes' yesterday, followed by an advertisement for 'Eagle Security'. I'd like both, please!

[sodascouts]

Sign me up, Troub!

Today I heard Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone." While the song shares little with the Eagles song besides the title, they have a similar repetition of "I'm alllllready gone.... alllllready gone" towards the end. It's only everything else that's different, lol.

Still, just hearing the announcer say the title had me all excited, until I realized it was a totally different song. Perhaps that's for the best, though. Kelly Clarkson is no Glenn Frey. lol

[EagleLady]

Yeah, but she's really good, though.

[Prettymaid]

Sugarland also has a song called Already Gone. I like Sugarland, so I like the song - it's very country though.

[AmarilloByMorning]

I second the praise for Sugarland's "Already Gone." It's almost a waltz; so unique. Fabulous band, fabulous song. Highly recommended.

The border *cough* between country and everything else seems to have blurred significantly.

[sodascouts]

At this point it seems the only difference between country and rock/pop is the accent of the singer.

I can't help but think of the Houston suburb of the same name whenever I hear the word "Sugarland" - have yet to get adjusted to it being a band!

[Peekaboo]

I like both Sugarland's and Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone. I downloaded both from Itunes after first hearing their songs on the radio. They both get a :thumbsup: from me.


Sunday night at work, I dealt to a guy that was kinda drunk. He was winning and so he started to buy the other players at the table drinks. He was telling my supervisors that he was gonna by them beers and then he looks at me and says "Jessica, I'll get you a Tequila Sunrise." This guy is a regular but has no idea about me and the Eagles. If we were at a bar or some place other than my work, I would have gladly taken him up on the offer.

[cynd1231]

Got this photo (among others) in an email and I can't see a guitar without thinking of The Eagles.....too cute not to share.

cynd, you pic didn't show up for me.

[sodascouts]

Peek - cool coincidence!

Cynd - I can't see your photo, either.

[TimothyBFan]

This was both interesting and maddening all in one! This morning bright and early hubby and I were heading into the city and on the radio they were talking about today's rock birthdays. Of course they mentioned Timothy B Schmit and said he has just put out a new book about his experiences with the Eagles. :woah: Say what? Larry looked at me and asked why I hadn't gotten it yet. I told him because there isn't one that they must be confusing it with the new cd. He asked if I was sure? Well duh, don't you think if there was a new book I (and all of us here) would know? I proceeded to try to call the radio station and set them straight but never did get thru before we made it to where we were going and I was unable to. :brickwall:

[GlennLover]

Don't you hate that when people (especially the media) get facts wrong about our guys :-x?

[Prettymaid]

Wow, that is a blatant error! Too bad you couldn't get through to correct them.

[Peekaboo]

My cousin and her hubby are going to see the Oklahoma City Thunder play the LA Lakers tonight and they were asking me what the arena is like since i've been to a few basketball games and concerts there at the Ford Center. Somehow I ended up comparing their seats to an Eagles concert...go figure. They got the picture anyway. I think there's some kind of subconscious impulse to bring up the Eagles in any conversation. I'm not alone in that, am I? :)

[Prettymaid]

Yesterday I was watching Peoples Court and the voiceover was a guy breifly summing up the next case about a tennant suing her landlord. In a dramatic half-whispering voice he says, " This is the case of...The Heat Is Off!" :hilarious:

[Troubadour]

Watching Charley Boorman on TV. He just mentioned riding in a "flat-bed Ford" 8)

[Troubadour]

Another TV reference... I was watching Judge Judy earlier (ssshh! I've got flu!) and she suggested that the defendant should go and 'do some soul searchin''. 8)

[Glennsallnighter]

I was browsing in HMV on Saturday when I saw the Box Set of dvds for 'Desperate Housewives'. One season was billed as the 'Dirty Laundry' edition.

[joannemusicfan]

This might sound weird...but CHRISTMAS reminds me of the Eagles! Especially 'cause their Please Come Home for Christmas album tops my charts on best 1970's Christmas Songs/Albums (http://www.ranker.com/list/1970_s-christmas-albums/christmas-music)

They are just too awesome.

[sodascouts]

Well, I wouldn't say Christmas reminds me of the Eagles, but I DO love that song. Welcome, Joanne!

[TimothyBFan]

Welcome Joanne! I like the way you think! :thumbsup:

[TimothyBFan]

TWICE last night while watching tv shows. I don't usually watch that much tv but we are having some AWFUL weather and Larry decided to bring home dinner and we just curled up and watched tv and vegged last night. I wasn't really paying attention to the movie Larry was watching when I heard the first reference, but the character said "I always live my life in the fast lane", and I caught it. The second reference was at the very end of a Bones episodes, they show a piece of paper where someone has written "Heart of the Matter" on it.

[sodascouts]

I was looking at some old mix tapes I made while I was in high school that I found in my closet... songs I taped off the radio. Among them were:

Smuggler's Blues
You Belong to the City
All She Wants to Do Is Dance

I have been listening to a lot of audio books lately, they're entertaining when Im doing my domestic goddesss stuff. I have been listening to The 39 Clues series. It's a great series for kids but pretty entertaining for anyone. In the 4th book one of the main characters is talking about a hotel in Cairo that turns out to be a secret hide out and she says "You can check out, but you can never leave!" LOL I got so excited about this I shouted out "HEY! Hotel California!" Cliff and Sarah thought I was nuts, but that's nothing new.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Good for you, ticky in keeping the enthusiasm alive!!! :wink:

[Glennsallnighter]

I used to do that too Nancy, and I remember 'The Heat Is' On featuring in quite a few of them!

Earlier tonight I was channel flicking and came across a programme called 'The Last Resort'

[Brooke]

I posted about this in Keith Urban's forum, but I'll put it here, too.

Last night at the People's Choice Awards, Keith won favorite male artist. In his acceptance speech he mentioned something to the effect that he didn't care how people got the music, even if they illegally downloaded it, it got out there! :shock: Made me think of Don!

[sodascouts]

Wow! If he said that to Don I think he would get a "stern talking-to" about how he should be more supportive of Artists' Rights. ;)

[TimothyBFan]

We had to take Dillon back to school today and on the way home we were listening to the Jets/Bengals game on the radio and heard a Head & Shoulders commercial with Troy Palamalu from the Steelers. His voice is very low and soft and reminds me of someone and apparently my husband also. Here is the conversation that was had about it.

Willie: "I like his voice."
Larry: "His voice reminds me of that guy from the Eagles. The 'other guy'?
Willie: "Who?"
Larry: "You know who I'm talking about."
Willie: "No, who?"
Larry: "Don't act like that."
Willie: "Just say his name, Larry!"
Larry: "Timothy, Willett!"

:hilarious: After 21 years of marriage, we are still childish at times! :hilarious:

[Troubadour]

LOL! Love it.

[Glennsallnighter]

Very funny Willie!!!! I hope you all made the trip safe.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Congrats Willie - You have done a fine job training Larry! :wink:

[Prettymaid]

Willie: "Just say his name, Larry!"

[GlennLover]

One of the local restaurants/clubs periodically sends out E-mails to its patrons who subscribe. The E-mails advertise the upcoming bands & each one asks a musical trivia question, where the winner gets a gift certificate for the restaurant. I answer each question but haven't won anything. This is the question that was asked in the E-mail today:

"Which Eagles member reached #2 on the charts with the song "The Heat is On" from the movie "Beverly Hill's Cop"?"

Hmmm, I'm going to have to look that one up :wink:!

While I'm typing this there is a story on the news about an Olympic skier who survived "Life In The Fast Lane". They've used the phrase twice.


Update: Just got an E mail from the restaurant, I didn't win :-(.

[Glennsallnighter]

Hmmmm! I wonder who that was GL? :lol:

On a drive earlier today I came across a tyre depot called 'Fastlane Tyres'

[ticky]

On the way home yesterday I saw a licence plate 378 EGL .. and on the way to Jenni's school, we pass a pretty seedy looking tavern called The Eagle. I'd be tempted to go in for a drink if there weren't several large Harley's out front. I may try and get a picture of it next time we go by.

[Troubadour]

A Maserati drove past me yesterday, while I was out walking with one of my service users. You know which song was in my head for the rest of the afternoon!

[Koala]

Today, one of my students contributed a shirt with the inscription Glennwood.

[TimothyBFan]

Hubby was sitting in his chair Friday night reading the paper and said that Glenn Frey had died. He was reading the obituaries and thought he was being funny! I didn't think so. :woah: Apparently we aren't the only ones that can be reminded of the Eagles.

[pueblo47]

Koala, I think the song she means is Life's Been Good So Far.

[TimothyBFan]

I know PM---but this Glenn Frey was spelled the same way and was born in 1948 but in August-of course Larry didn't have a clue that he was the same age as "our" Glenn.

:hilarious: Just how evil do you think Larry is? :twisted: But reading my post-I can definitely see where you'd get that impression. I was a wee bit vague!

So there was a Glenn Frey in your paper who died? Same spelling too? Wow.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Oh my - I don't wanna even think about seeing the name Glenn Frey in an obituary - that would make my tummy upset. :wink:

[pueblo47]

Ok, I didn't see that. Still half-asleep here, watching the snow fall.

[GlennLover]

Oh my - I don't wanna even think about seeing the name Glenn Frey in an obituary - that would make my tummy upset. :wink:

You said it, Dreamer! Mine would be more than a little upset!

[sodascouts]

Me too. In fact, I don't listen to "It's Your World Now" because it makes me think about it.

[GlennLover]

I think that IYWN would bother me too except that I remember Glenn saying in an interview at the time that LROOE came out (I believe that it was the Gold interviews) that "the guy" is dying, so I don't associate it with Glenn dying (it bothers me to type those last 2 words). I guess it's just my way of allowing myself to enjoy what would otherwise be a very disturbing song.

[sodascouts]

I understand it's not about Glenn per se - unlike Don who writes more personal songs, most of Glenn's songs are constructed as stories that don't directly incorporate his own experiences. That's unsurprising, though, when one considers that the lyrics are often mostly written by Jack Tempchin. (I should note that the Strange Weather album deviates from this pattern somewhat, having more songs with personal themes). In fact, it's occurred to me that his ability to give impassioned vocals on songs that aren't about his own experiences might be tied to his ability to act... but I digress.

For me, the problem with "It's Your World Now" is that it's his voice singing those words about dying. I'm glad you can enjoy the song, though. Obviously, that's what Glenn intended.

But as I have said before if it is about dying and only dying, what is with the 'but first a kiss/one glass of wine/just one more dance' part? He sounds pretty healthy there to me. :drunk: I prefer it as a more generalised song about leaving his legacy to the next generation rather than make it so specific. I did that at the start and I thought 'this is ridiculous'. It's him singing, and singing beautifully, as always, and I won't let this interpretation of it get in the way of enjoying the song. I think it's very moving. There are other songs/literature which are like this and if I got upset every time I heard/read them I wouldn't get very far. For instance I was reading my favourite book, War & Peace, at the time of my father's death, specifically the part where Prince Andrei dies (apologies to those who don't know the book) and it helped.

You also made a very broad statement about his solo songs that 'the lyrics are often mostly written by Jack Tempchin'. We don't know that. I don't like stereotyping Glenn as someone who primarily writes music.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

ITA with you on both points here, FP. As usual, I tend to apply a very broad interpretion when analyzing song lyrics. Therefore, I also think of 'It's Your World Now' more in terms of leaving a legacy to future generations. I love listening to Glenn's voice on the song. While the Latino music is not my favorite, it's still a beautiful song that I very much enjoy.

And I have commented numerous times before on how I feel about stereotyping any of the guys in the band. I think they are all very multi-talented, and never like to make assumptions regarding their contributions or role based on inadequate information.

I didn't know that the lyrics of Glenn's songs are mostly written by Jack. Did he say this in an interview or did he tell you personally? Don't think for a moment that I am questioning the validity of your statement. Just curious, that's all,as I know that you have spoken with him several times. Just wondered if it was a tidbit that he told you. :)

[sodascouts]

Hey guys, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to "stereotype" Glenn. I'm not saying he never writes lyrics and I have no idea what the ratio is regarding how many lyrics he writes vs. how many Tempchin writes.

That said, there's no shame in the fact that he might be more musically-oriented. Some people act like it's an insult to say that!

Re: IYWN - of course, everyone's take on "It's Your World Now" is just as legitimate as mine. I'm only saying how it comes across to me. While Glenn has said the guy in the song is dying, I know that doesn't preclude broader interpretations.

I agree - and this has unfortunately happened within the band. Tim says Don Henley is a 'great poet' while Glenn is 'the lone arranger' - and Felder apparently thinks that the only other decent songwriter in the band besides his illustrious self is Henley because Henley 'wrote the words'. The famous nickname Lone Arranger doesn't even allow for the fact that someone (presumably Glenn himself) had to actually write the tunes before he pulled them into shape. Of course it also refers to his leadership skills.

If Glenn is more Elton John than Bernie Taupin in terms of leaning towards music rather than lyrics (and even this is probably unfair, given that Elton does not write lyrics at all), it should be appreciated, not relegated to being of secondary importance.

[Glennsallnighter]

Laura got a worksheet to do for her homework today. It was about energy, fuels etc. She called out 'Mommy, I think you'd like to help me with this worksheet. Its called 'The Heat is On'! It was!

[GlennLover]

So cute!

[TimothyBFan]

:thumbsup: It's great they're teaching Eagles lyrics in school now!;)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow GA - I am amazed at how well-trained you have that girl - it's just downright impressive!!! :grin:

[Brooke]

Ga and Laura, good job! :thumbsup:

[Troubadour]

So cute, Lis!

[Koala]

Nice name for a worksheet, then homework makes fun, so cool!

[Troubadour]

I noticed yesterday that a new little food place has opened up near to where I work, called Texas Grill. Those two words are synonymous with "Don" in my mind!

[sodascouts]

My friend and I are at a coffee shop and I just used the restroom, where I saw that the toilet paper dispenser had "DON" on it (the manufacturer, apparently). And yes, the paper was over and not under. ;)

[Troubadour]

LOL!

[Stars]

Today someone checked out an Eagles CD at the library where I work! This is the first time I can remember this happening, if you can believe it. And I've been there nearly five years! Of course I mentioned my love of the band, and even told him I had seen the Eagles over the summer. (in Glasgow) I think he was a bit overwhelmed by my enthusiasm, but gotta spread the love!:heart::heart:

[Glennsallnighter]

Awwww thanks Ladies! I guess Glenn :heart: Lyrics are an integral part of the programme now!

Lou! I remember you texting me about the Texas Grill! What a cute find.

Stars, you can share the love with me any time you like. I won't be overwhelmed!!

Lol Nancy!! I love that!

[Troubadour]

Much to my disappointment, the 'Texas Grill' turned out to be a tiny takeaway place serving chips and greasy burgers. It looks pretty good from the outside!

I've just been watching a few minutes of Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends. He is interviewing a guy from a white supremacist group in South Africa, and I happened to catch the part where the guy said he was an Eagles fan! A strange version of Hotel California was playing in the background, and he said "Do you like the Eagles? I'm an Eagles fan. Although I never really got Hotel California... What did that whole thing mean?"

[Peekaboo]

I got a 3 in one reminder of the Eagles yesterday. A customer at work had on a hat that said GlennEagles Country Club. I asked him where the country club was located and he said it's in Dallas. So in this one hat you get The Eagles, Glenn, and Don (Dallas). And just because I told him that I liked his hat he tipped me $5. :thumbsup:

[Troubadour]

So, I'm at work at the moment, in town with one of my service users - but I had to post this! You remember that kids' book I told you about ages ago, with the Eagles Garage and the pumps labelled Henley, Frey and Walsh? Well, I've looked for it everywhere over the past year, to no avail. Today, I'm out with a service user, and I decided to have a quick look around a book store. What was right there on the shelf? The Eagles book! I had to buy it - I know a few of you guys wanted to know what it was called. I was almost right - it's Al's Auto Workshop. Anyway, I'll post some pics when I get home! I'm chuffed! I think it was meant to be that I wandered into that shop. :D

[TimothyBFan]

Wow Lou--So glad we all know you weren't crazy after all!!! :hilarious: Now to see if I can find it. The kids I care for all know about "Eagles", I think they'd get a kick out of this!

ETA-- is this it Lou?

Yep, that's it!

[sodascouts]

I am totally gonna buy that for my niece!

[TimothyBFan]

OK guys-just bought my copy for $1.31. What a deal--from here.

Good luck everyone!! They'll be wondering why the sudden rush for this book! :hilarious:

[Troubadour]

I think I should get a little financial thank you from the author for boosting his sales! LOL.

Here's the page of interest. My apologies for thinking that the names were written on pumps. As you can see, they're just signs on the garage wall! Oh well. It's still cool!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c374/Lulabelle_/Continued/eaglesgarage.jpg

[TimothyBFan]

I'm trying to find info on Roger Priddy. I want to contact him and ask about the Eagles reference in this book. I did find out that he resides in London with a wife and 4 kids and has sold millions of kids books. I have to wonder if they all might have Eagles references in them. The author that wrote all the "Arthur" books used to put one of his kids name in a random picture in all of his kids books so I'm wondering if this guy might be doing the same thing. Just a thought. I plan to find out if at all possible.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Troub and Willie, thanks for all the info about the book. Very cool pic, Troub. I went over to Half.com and the best price I saw was $7.32 so you really got a good deal, Willie.

[ticky]

Amazon has them listed under their Used Vendors from $4.83 to $1,153.75?????? WTH?????? hehehe anyway, they have some good deal.. (hmm.. I wonder if that last one is signed by our guys? *G*)

Great find Lou! Well done. IMHO I'd have called it 'Irvs Auto Workshop'

[TimothyBFan]

Since she didn't add it here, I will. Lou texted me yesterday to tell me that there was also a page with more signs that read "Gilmour", "Wright" and "Mason". For those who don't recognize those names, they are from Pink Floyd. I'm really planning on checking out some more of his books to see if he has rock references in all of them. So cool!

[Prettymaid]

That is cool. What a neat idea! Good job on finding the book Troub, and to you TBF for following up.

[Troubadour]

Thanks for adding the bit about Pink Floyd, Willie. I've also noticed a couple of other familiar names in there - 'Bonzo' being one of them. Something tells me this guy is a bit of a rock fan! :headbang:

[Glennsallnighter]

How cool is that?

[ticky]

I just got an email from Tarrot.com that says "Libra: Get to the Heart of the Matter." hehehe gladly!

[AzEaglesFan]

Bob and I were in a cafe this afternoon when I noticed the couple next to us had on bright red t shirts and I saw the word Eagle. So of course I had to check that out. What it said was "Hotel California" in big yellow letters and under it was "A Salute to the Eagles." MUCH to Bob's dismay I told them I really liked their shirts so they told me it was a tribute band that they went and saw in Winslow Az. I told them in 3 weeks I was going to go see the real Eagles. They didn't know about the concert and said they were going to see if they could still get tickets.:thumbsup:

[Prettymaid]

Cool AZ!

[TimothyBFan]

Spread the love of the Eagles despite what the husbands may think! :thumbsup:

[Troubadour]

Cool story, AZ! Hope they get tickets.

[Brooke]

AZ, you should get some kind of kickback for promoting, too! Like a free ticket or something! Oops, dreaming again! lol

[AzEaglesFan]

I would love to get some kind of promotional fee but I sure am not going to hold my breath. Trying to get a friend to go with us but she said all the remaining seats were in the rafters. I know that the paper hasn't even had an ad in the last few weeks so they must be happy with ticket sales.

[Troubadour]

I'm watching a true crime programme (because apparently I like to freak myself out late at night while I'm home alone). This one is based in Linden!

[GlennLover]

A friend who lives in a more rural part of the Province just posted this thought on Facebook - "...nice to watch the ducks on the river and see an occasional eagle fly by.... ". Wouldn't it be nice to see an Eagle fly by? It would be even nicer if one stopped in! :partytime:

[Troubadour]

My door is always open! ;)

[AzEaglesFan]

I was reading a magazine and they were talking about a celebrity getting 2 speeding tickets in one month they ended the sentence with "Now that is LIFE IN THE FAST LANE."
Also there is an article about Kenny Chesney in People and he is taking 2010 off and one of the things he want to do is attend a concert and one of the concerts he mentions is Eagles. I wonder if he will be one of the special guests???

[Troubadour]

On a similar tack, I'm watching the movie Must Love Dogs, and Diane Lane just said "I'm not sure I'm ready for life in the fast lane."

[Troubadour]

Watching a documentary about Phil Spector, and there have been various mentions of Dan Tana's and the House of Blues, which of course remind me of our boys.

[Wildthyme]

I was out shopping and decided to buy some new nail polish. I was looking through the various colors and found one called Fast Lane and another called All Nighter.... Needless to say I had to buy them both :lol:

[Prettymaid]

Lol WT!

[Glennsallnighter]

Mmmmmmm Wild! Can I share?

[Troubadour]

That's so cool, Cami!

Lis - I thought the Allnighter one might take your fancy!

Lou! The Allnighter ALWAYS takes my fancy!

There is a TV advert for Optical Express and every time it starts I look up because the background music totally reminds me of Boys Of Summer! I thought it was BOS, the first time I heard it.

I wouldn't need the pharmacy if I were ill, All I'd need was the EAGLE.

Today on my way to my parents I was behind a car with a dark rear window and the letters D O N in white across it.

Then I was reading the paper. There was an article about the funeral of Malcolm McClaren and a photo. His coffin was black and spray painted in white on the side was 'Too fast to live, too young to die'

[Koala]

I wouldn't need the pharmacy if I were ill, All I'd need was the EAGLE.

Yeah, I agree with you, with an Eagle on the side would all diseases disappear much faster!;-)

[The_Girl_Of_Summer]

While laying on my bed getting ready to go to sleep (i had to post this now or i'd forget) i was listening to my iPod of random (now mid you i have 13,000+ songs on it) a country song from the early 90's came on (i'm also not a big country fan) called "Bigger than the Beatles" by Joe Diffie. The chorus of the song is:

They got a love bigger than the Beatles
Wild and free like the Rolling Stones
They got a love takes 'em higher than the Eagles
Ain't life such a sweet, sweet song.
Now i think i remember why i loved this song long ago:hilarious:

[sodascouts]

Cool song!

[Prettymaid]

Awww, love the metaphors.

[The_Girl_Of_Summer]

doesnt really remind me but today i did get to compare After The Thrill is Gone to a poem by Sir Walter Raleigh for an english assignment.

[Brooke]

TGOS, could you post that poem? Sounds interesting.

[The_Girl_Of_Summer]

TGOS, could you post that poem? Sounds interesting.
Sure Brooke. Now it might just be how i interpreted this poem becuase i said it was asking what would happen after all the material good were gone and that ATTIS tells us what happenes after its gone.But here is the poem:

The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd
by Sir Walter Raleigh
1600
If all the world and love were young,
And truth in every shepherd's tongue,
These pretty pleasures might me move
To live with thee and be thy love.
Time drives the flocks from field to fold,
When rivers rage and rocks grow cold;
And Philomel becometh dumb;
The rest complain of cares to come.
The flowers do fade, and wanton fields
To wayward winter reckoning yields;
A honey tongue, a heart of gall,
Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.
Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy bed of roses,
Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies,
Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten,
In folly ripe, in reason rotten.
Thy belt of straw and ivy buds,
Thy coral clasps and amber studs,
All these in me no means can move
To come to thee and be thy love.
But could youth last and love still breed,
Had joys no date nor age no need,
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy love.

[Freypower]

The poem is a reply to Christopher Marlowe's The Passionate Shepherd To His Love.

[The_Girl_Of_Summer]

Yes it is FP we also analyzed it as well.

[Prettymaid]

I think it's cool that you were able to compare it to ATTIG in class.

[pueblo47]

I watched Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones dvd from 1969 last night and saw a few brief shots of Bernie Leadon when he was a Burrito. That is one SCARY documentary-type show, it was tense through the whole thing......

The point is Bernie was in it:thumbsup:.....and lived to tell about it:hilarious:...

Today I saw a car with the license plate GF-DON - 12!:woah::jawdrop:
I could not believe, I had to look immediately a few times to believe it! Unfortunately, I had no mobile phone near by for a photo!:brickwall:Damn!

[Troubadour]

We've seen quite a few things on this trip that have reminded us of the Eagles. Mainly place names... Donley, Glenrio, Wildorado... Plus the Dancing Eagle casino! Also, Annie said loudly 'Fines Double' from the driver's seat the other day. She was reading a sign. Jess didn't have a clue what she was going on about, and could only hear 'fine stubble'. (You think we have Don on the brain a little too much?!)

We had a funny moment yesterday when we went to the Grand Canyon. The guy at the gate asked us if anyone in the car was 62. After looking mildly offended, I joked to Jess that we should have brought Don along - he could've got us a discount! Darn it.

[tequila girl]

Funny sort of reasoning Lou - like the only reason to bring Don would be for the discount - I don't think so! :hilarious: :hilarious:

The first time I saw a Glenn solo show was at the Soaring Eagle Casino in Michigan. Gotta love it.

OOO We passed through Glenn County where the town of Henley is located!!! *G* I tried to send pictures of the sign, but it's hard to do when you're driving like crazy to get to San Jose *G* :partytime:

I was watching my Def Leppard Classic Albums DVD and Phil Collen (the guitar player) was talking about "Love Bites" orginally sounding like Don Henley. So i found the clip of YouTube its at the very end (9:30)

Thanks for posting that TGOS. I love that song - would've been okay with me if they had left it sounding like Don Henley though. :wink:

Just a couple minutes ago, while I was here, on the Board, hubby tuned into a movie, "In America", where one of the characters (a young person) was singing "Desperado"! The voice sounded so pure, and it reminded me once again of what a lovely song it is.:heart:

I was browsing in the book store earlier today, and I had to take a picture of this author's name. :mrgreen:

Something posted in the Joe threads reminded me of albums. I meant to put this on earlier this week.

Saturday night, Larry and I decided to reorganize all our albums and catalog them to make sure we had them all on our list (we didn't). We have a tendency of buying them and then just go ahead and stick them in the albums before we add them to our computer list. ANYWAYS...

We were going alphabetical with Larry at the albums naming them and me checking the master list on the computer to make sure they were on it. When we got to the E's, without missing a beat, instead of naming each Eagles album separately, he just says "several copies of every damn one of them!". I knew exactly who/what he was talking about. He then did the same thing when it was time for the Joe Walsh albums (which was wrong because I really don't have all of them, just most of them!). :hilarious: He's a fuuunnny guy!!:nope:

[TimothyBFan]

I guess this isn't a thing that "reminded" me of the Eagles, because it was the Eagles but figured I'd put it here anyways.

Last night, out on the patio listening to a new radio station we have found that plays all classic rock out of Chicago. They played Lyin' Eyes and of course I sang along as I did my Sudoku and Larry read the paper. After it was over Larry dropped the paper down and said "you know that IS country right?" I didn't even look up from my puzzle but flipped him a select finger, he chuckled and continued reading. Some times he really pisses me off! :twisted:

[Troubadour]

LOL!

[Koala]

Yesterday I gave my godson Taylor a jeans and I said, hey you look like a small rock star! To which he replied : Yes, just like Glenn Frey, this are my The Heat is On jeans!!!!!!:hilarious:
　

[Prettymaid]

Koala, that is so cute! You have done a great job with Taylor.

And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to slip into my Partytown dress! :hilarious:

[sodascouts]

LOL Koala! That is terrific!

[Koala]

Yeah, I am also very proud on him, only 3 years old and already thus a good music taste!:-D

[Ive always been a dreamer]

:thumbsup: Koala - teach the children well!

Since I have been known to purchase a thing or two from Amazon, I get occasional emails from them that recommend different items. I got one today titled "Amazon recommends Midnight Flyer". Do I need to tell any of you how happy that made me! Of course, I had to open the email immediately to see what they were talking about - turned out to be the name of an album by someone I never heard of. But it still brought a smile to my face. :blush:

[Glennsallnighter]

Oooh thats brilliant Koala. (Wonder where my 'Sexy Girl' T-shirt is?).

Love it as well Dreamer.

[Koala]

Ok, here a photo from the little Glenn Frey fan.

He is too cute! Love the story, too, Koala. :thumbsup:

[AzEaglesFan]

Koala, he is so cute. Does he already have a drum set or a guitar??

[Koala]

He has a little drum set! :) And a toy guitar with which he mostly plays when we The Heat Is On hear!

[Brooke]

Adorable!

[TimothyBFan]

Awww Koala!! A little rock n roller in the making!! LOVE it!:thumbsup:

I was just playing Rock and Roll Jeopardy online and my final Jeopardy question was This Eagles album was considered to be made into a film. Thanks to this board the answer was easy:thumbsup:

[TimothyBFan]

Listening to 97.1 The Drive out of Chicago. Just heard an ad for 10 at 10. 10 songs in a row from a certain year. This morning it will be 1972 and the promo spot just said "and the Eagles were just feeling it" and then they played a snippet of PEF!! Guess I better still be listening to it at 11 my time.:thumbsup:

[eaglesvet]

I wasn't sure where to post this, since in the thread where the game is played seems like it might get lost. We have turned "The Never-Ending Song Game" both into a car travel game, and better yet, into a party game for all ages! The first time we used it as a verbal game was in the car on a longer family road trip. It was played the same way we do online here, and it was interesting because we have the 2 oldster parents and the 2 preteen/teen boys who obviously love current music but have a decent knowledge and appreciation for classic rock music from yours truly and hubby. The game really passes the time away, as it fosters communication between family members-- about music and artists, and memories of concerts and the like.

More recently, we adapted the game at a party--at Ethan's 8th grade graduation party, where there were adults as well as kids (11 yrs + ). We started playing the same way it is played online, but then we had to add some alterations. The first change we added was a 30-second time frame for the person's answer of new song and artist. If they don't guess, or offer an incorrect one, they get an "O". The next time they are unable to advance, they collect an "U." And, if that same persons fails a 3rd time, they get an "T", and they are OUT of the game.This game kept folks occupied for quite awhile!

[Brooke]

Very good, Ev! :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

Yes, very clever! I might steal that idea on my next long car ride.

On our shortened trip Saturday, I saw a sign in a small town for a church called Shiloh Church Of Christ.

[Peekaboo]

On our shortened trip Saturday, I saw a sign in a small town for a church called Shiloh Church Of Christ.

I've seen a Shiloh sign before too but it wasn't for a church. I think it was for some kind of construction company. I see it every time I drive through the north side of OKC.

After just posting in the Hearing Eagles/solo Songs Unexpectedly thread I remembered that I heard another Eagles song at work this week. Heartache Tonight was playing. As I was singing along, one of the players at my table said "How do you know this song? You're too young to know who this is?" I said "Are you kidding me? This is my favorite band!!" I proceeded to tell the guy about the recent concerts I went to an he seemed impressed. I asked him his name and he said it's "Glenn". There was another guy at the table that was all ticked off and being rude because he was mad that he was losing his money. Me and Glenn just ignored him. Glenn was a really nice guy. And his name made it all the more fun to be dealing to him.

[sodascouts]

Glad it was a nice Glenn and not an evil Glenn! ;)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Glenn was a really nice guy. And his name made it all the more fun to be dealing to him.

What a difference a name makes! :wink:

[Troubadour]

Me and Glenn just ignored him.

Too right! You and Glenn stick together! ;)

Yesterday my Mom made a riddle in a magazine. She called me and said that would be a question for me. The Question was:


Who wrote the Elvis Presley hits "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog"?


a) Rutherford/Banks b) Lennon/McCartney
c) Leiber/Stoller d) Henley/Frey


I really liked the answer possibilities!
After all, members of my both favorite groups were represented!

[Prettymaid]

In anticipation of the movie Eat Pray Love coming out, I am re-reading the book by Elizabeth Gilbert. On page 108 she mentions driving out of Rome up into the mountains with her friend Luca Spaghetti and they're blasting the Eagles and singing "Take it...to the limit...one more time!!!!!"

[Brooke]

Pm, I'm trying to read that book at Oprah's suggestion since Julia Roberts was on her show promoting the movie coming out this month. I don't know. They were agaga over it. I'm having a hard time getting in to it.

[Prettymaid]

I enjoyed the book Brooke. I like the way she writes.

[EaglesFanatic]

I wasn't sure where to post this, and this may be a dumb question, but can someone please explain to me what a 3E button is? lol I'm seeing them being mentioned in a bunch of threads, so I was just curious.
Now, back on topic... I was driving and I saw a neighborhood called Glenn something, and I also saw a street named Cimarron :) haha

A 3E button is what was needed to get into an Eagles after party back in the 70s. The parties were called the third encore (3E).

[Brooke]

And they were only for girls! :wink:

[GlennLover]

And only for good looking ones :hilarious:

[EaglesFanatic]

haha ohhhhhhhh okay I see now! Well then, that would be some button to receive! :partytime: (only in my dreams... :pray: )

[Prettymaid]

EF, you can enjoy a conversation we had about the 3E buttons here. (https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2368&highlight=button&page=3)

Just scroll down...

Last night I was watching Boom Town with Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy. It's an old movie from the 40s. Anyway, they said "Take it easy" to each other several times and, of course, every time I grinned!

[Troubadour]

This is almost a six degrees of separation thing, lol, but I was flicking through the Sky channels earlier, and there was a film on named Machine Gun Kelly. This reminded me of the James Taylor song, which was written by the lovely Danny Kortchmar... which, in turn of course, reminded me of Mr. Henley.

See - Eagles connections are everywhere! You just have to look hard enough. ;)

[Freypower]

This is a bit peripheral but we are watching Series 3 of Rescue Me starring Denis Leary, and Patti D'Arbanville, who played Amber in the Dead Dog arc of Wiseguy, has a small role. She looks a lot older these days (obviously).

[Stars]

I was looking at the books for sale today at the library where I work, and one of them was called "The Eagle". It's a coffee table book with gorgeous pics of Eagles in flight and otherwise. Of course, I thought of our guys immediately!:)

[sodascouts]

Writing about King Henry V, I found myself typing "King Henley V" instead - on several occasions in the paper, as I found upon double-checking. Now that's just sad.

[Glennsallnighter]

Nah! I think its excellent use of initiative Soda!

I was watching the Dublin Horse show on Friday last and an Irish rider was jumping on a horse called 'K-Club lady. I'm sure you all know why I would have loved that as a nickname, and who it reminded me of!

[Freypower]

GA, I'm sorry but you will have to enlighten me. All I can think of is Welcome To The Club. Sorry.
