The Eagles "Yoko"

[OutlawManNJ]

Here is an idea for a thread not sure if it was ever covered here before.

The beatles have yoko and linda as identifiable beatle females. Nirvana had cortney love. But what about the Eagles. Which woman if any would the title of Eagle lady #1?

I cant think of any besides leadons girlfriend Patty davis, ronald reagans daughter, that cowrote and caused turmoil with i wish you peace.

Being that this is a forum mostly populated by Eagletts, what do you think. Is Patty Davis the most Recognizable Eagle female? Maybe Linda Rondstat? But she was more from the outside. Somebody else?

Well - I don't know if the Eagles have a "Yoko" other than Patti Davis if you are talking about a woman who caused a riff or disention in the band. But, if you are talking about just high-profile women, I would say that Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks are the first ones that come to my mind. Stevie dated Don during the 70's. Then, although the band was on their 14-year vacation at the time, she dated Joe in the 80's.

oh I didn't realize Stevie dated Don too...hmmm

OOh yeah...

I don't think the Eagles have a Yoko. I think they kept the female relationships pretty much out of the band business, as it should be.
Yoko, was kind of an exceptional case because she was such a huge influence on John Lennon. She really seemed to have a lot of power over him, & she really changed him & his life.

The women that dated or married the Eagles are hardly even a mention anywhere & after seeing the dvd they didn't seem to let any women interfere with whatever was going on with them....Even Stevie, although she dated both Don & Joe, she had little to do with the bands inner workings...I mean, she had her own band to worry about & all the drama that went on in Fleetwood Mac must have been enough for her!

I'm glad to know that there really isn't an Eagles "Yoko"

I agree, I think Yoko really did break up the Beatles because she had so much control over Lennon. No member of the Eagles gave his girlfriend or wife that kind of power.

Yes, it's an interesting question but I think Yoko really was quite a special case!

Well, if you're going for recognizability in terms of fame, I think Stevie Nicks is the biggest name any of the Eagles ever scored with - that we know of! Glenn also had a brief romance with Joni Mitchell.

The thread title isnt exactly what I meant by the question, thats why I put YOKO in quotes.

I meant basically....What is the most associated woman with the Eagles...I think thats where I was heading. Wasnt necessarilly intented to be Yoko thing, but when you ask, what woman associates with the word Beatles..you think Yoko...so what about the Eagles?

[Brooke]

For me, definitely Stevie Nicks because she had relationships with Don H and Joe and much has been publicized about that.

that's interesting soda. I had never hear Joni and Glenn dated. I new Joni dated gram Nash and Jackson. When did they date?

I'll have to put another vote for stevie nicks as the best known counter part of the Eagles. Since she dated both Don H and Joe W and they both get a lot of press. Don for the pregnancy/abortion rumors and his continued positive friendship with her. Joe for supposedly being Stevie great love.

A couple of songs on Joni's Court & Spark album from 1974, Help Me & Car On A Hill, are about Glenn so I would imagine it was round about then.

Thanks Freypower :thumbsup:

Well - there really aren't that many high profile women romantically involved with the guys. Other than the ones already mentioned here, Don had relationships with a couple of B-list actresses, Lois Chiles and Maren Jensen. Cher has acknowledged that she dated one of the Eagles, but declined to name which one it was. All of their wives are pretty private and keep a relatively low profile. I guess Joe's wife, Marjorie, is the most visible of all of them.
