Little things that remind you of the Eagles

[AlreadyGone95]

That's cool that they did PEF. I've never heard of the band before, but I might look into them.

I shopped at Kmart yesterday. I noticed that their popular brand for young ladies and young men is called Route 66.

[buffyfan145]

They posted it on their FB page a few days after Glenn passed and it was such a nice cover. :)

Also I forgot to post this in my post this morning but also found out my personal favorite of Old Dominion, Trevor Rosen, is also from Detroit!!! LOL :D The rest of the guys are from Virginia, thus the band's name as it's the state's nickname, but part of Trevor's family is from there too.

[buffyfan145]

One of my new summer shows I really like "Dead of Summer" is set in 1989 and it's a horror/80s film anthology show from some of my favorite writers who wrote for LOST and created "Once Upon a Time," and they have a character on there named Alex and he reminds me so much of Glenn. LOL :lol: I noticed it in the pilot episode last week with how he was dressed and was very assertive, charming with the girls, always having his sunglasses, and the dark, wavy 80s hair. :smitten: Then last night's episode was Alex's flashback episode and like I expected he's got a sad backstory and why he came to create this persona of his. The whole time I was watching the episode Glenn's "You Belong to the City" was stuck in my head as that fits this character so much. Especially since Alex's main advice and mantra he keeps telling himself is "If you want something in this world you have to take it". Then I found a pic of the actor who plays Alex, Ronen Rubinstein, when he was on "Orange is the New Black" last year and his hair was so long and he was sitting on top of a car like a certain set of photos of 70s Glenn. ;-) Alex is also trying to win the heart of the shy, sweet girl too and he plays piano, so I have a new favorite on this show. :D

Buffy, you would make a fine casting director.

[buffyfan145]

Buffy, you would make a fine casting director.

I have been told this many times. LOL :lol: Even a few times by a couple authors who were asking on their FB pages for what actors we readers thought of to play their characters. It does come easily to me and even comparing people I know to celebs. Maybe it's the writer in me too as I cast in my head who's playing the characters but I do pay a lot of attention to people's faces and expressions, including which actors could play siblings or parents/children.

[SoaringRockyMountainWay]

My mom said that while I wasn't at home she was cleaning the garage and a guy in a lawn care truck parked across from our house shouted, "Don Henley can sing like nobody's business, man!" Why did this happen when I wasn't home?! I would've shouted back, "Yeah, man! He does!"

[NightMistBlue]

I assume your mama was playing Don Henley's music at the time, or did the guy just shout that spontaneously? :)

The guy shouted it out spontaneously. :hilarious:

[buffyfan145]

"The American West" that I mentioned earlier in the thread has had moments where I'm getting reminded of Eagles related things. Besides the "Desperado" album fitting the theme they started their docudrama show with the Jesse James and The James Gang. Some of the real life stories they've been telling have taken place in Texas and Nebraska. Then last night we finally got to Wyatt Earp's story starting and in Dodge City their hotel was called The Longbranch Saloon, and one of the people they interviewed was Mark Harmon who played Wyatt in a film and was Harry in "Let's Get Harry" with Glenn. :)

There's still 3 more episodes left and I'm really liking it. It's a cool mix of a drama series with actors actually acting out the story and interview segments with historians, writers, and actors who have portrayed these people and Robert Redford is hugely involved. Besides the James Gang and Wyatt Earp the show has also focused on Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, General Custer, Presidents Grant & Hayes, Billy the Kid, the railroads, and various other people connected with them. It's possible it could get a 2nd season too since there are so many other Old West stories to tell like "Doolin Dalton", and since AMC already has two season of "The Making of the Mob" which is made by the same people who made this and "The Men Who Built America".

buffy, I've been watching it and love it! They've really made it interesting being part documentary. I've learned lots. Maybe I'd forgotten some of it since school, but I know it wasn't as interesting!

[buffyfan145]

I love it too and I really like how Stephen David Entertainment is doing these shows. It's such a different take than a regular documentary or biopic. I too feel like I'm learning way more than I did in school, same with the "Making of the Mob" series.

[NightMistBlue]

I saw the Crazy Horse episode; it was really good. It reminded me of Neil Young though, not the Eagles :)

[AlreadyGone95]

The book I'm reading is a fictional book involving Elvis, which reminds me of Glenn's nickname he had for himself.

Reba McEntire will be the guest judge on America's Got Talent tonight. When I saw her, I thought of Don since he sang on her duets album.

[GlennLover]

I was watching the news today (out of Boston) and the weather report called for very high temperatures for the next couple of days. After the weather one of the news reporters said to the other, "The heat is on. Do you know who sang that - Glenn Frey".

[buffyfan145]

I just watched the movie "Everybody Wants Some!!" and it's set in 1980 and I kept getting so many Eagles reminders especially as the hairstyles, facial hair, and outfits were totally from the "Long Run" era!!! LOL :D It's somewhat of a sequel to Richard Linklater's other film "Dazed and Confused" about a college baseball team in Texas and they actually did use Joe's song "All Night Long" in the film as well as many others from the late 70s and early 80s. I also saw in an article with Entertainment Weekly that Richard used the Eagles song "I Can't Tell You Why" on his playlist for the film and it has 500 songs total so it's safe to assume the entire "Long Run" album was on it.

But there were some funny similarities too with a scene where Tyler Hoechlin's character McReynolds got so mad after losing a game of ping pong to Blake Jenner's freshman character Jake and he started going off on the other characters till one yelled "Shut up Glenn! You're such a sore loser." Till that moment we didn't know McReynolds' first name and I burst out laughing as this Glenn also had the mustache!!! LOL :lol:

Then my personal favorite character Finnegan ended up being played by a newer actor named Glen Powell and there were two characters who reminded me of Joe Walsh including Wyatt Russell's character Wiloughby. Jake also reminded me of Randy & Timothy during a scene as one of the girls liked him because he was "the quiet, sweet one". And there was this crazy pitcher on the team that the others said he was like that because he was from Detroit. LOL

I loved it and it's been so long since I've seen a good baseball movie/comedy. :D

[buffyfan145]

The first trailer for Marvel's "Iron Fist" came out at Comic Con last night and the actor who plays Iron Fist/Danny Rand, Finn Jones, kind of looks like 70s Don with the curly hair and the beard. :D I know he was on "Game of Thrones" recently but now is part of the Marvel Netflix shows and was the last missing piece for "The Defenders" miniseries that'll air next year and team up the four New York characters with "Daredevil", "Jessica Jones", and "Luke Cage". So there's another younger actor if they ever make an Eagles biopic. LOL :)

[AlreadyGone95]

Yesterday, I stayed for the support English class after the regular English class was over with. I wanted to do some work and ask the teacher some questions since yesterday was the last class for my English course. As I started to look at what I had to do by Monday in all my classes, I started stressing out some. The amount of work was more than I had expected. My teacher saw me mutter a few comments to myself about this, so she came over to my computer to offer help and to calm me down. The first thing she told me was "Take it easy." I had to smile at the very commonly said, but usually unknown reference to the Eagles. That smile helped me to relax a bit, which helped me to realize that I needed to take my work one step at a time.

[Jonny Come Lately]

My favourite team Liverpool FC were playing second tier Huddersfield Town in a friendly game yesterday at Huddersfield's home stadium, which is now called The John Smith Stadium. This reminded me of the Eagles because they played this venue on the Hell Freezes Over tour back in 1996 when it was called the Alfred McAlpine Stadium.

[WS82Classics]

Was driving around Sautee, GA, earlier today, and came across a place called "Bernie's Restaurant."

Predictably, the first person who crossed my mind was 'Magic Fingers' himself. :-)

[NightMistBlue]

Jonny, isn't there a brand of lager in Britain called John Smith? It's a delicious golden elixir as I hazily recall. Is that what the stadium is named for?

[Jonny Come Lately]

Yup, a lot of these modern build (post-1990) stadia are named in deference to their sponsors, and some periodically change their names as sponsorship deals come to their end. The John Smith's Stadium is as a great example as the lager company gives its name to the third official title in the 22-year history of Huddersfield's new stadium (it was initially named the Alfred McAlpine after its builders and was then called the Galpharm Stadium, in deference to a medical company).

Some of these names make odd reading alongside the traditional names like Anfield, Villa Park and Old Trafford, and the names often give an idea as to which level the club plays at. At the very highest level, Arsenal and Manchester City's new stadia are named after the Emirates and Etihad airlines respectively, but as you move down the league ladder the names become less glamorous and in some cases a lot more silly. Cheltenham Town, for instance, play at the ridiculously titled 'World Of Smile Stadium' - not dentists, sadly! They make conservatories, apparently!

[NightMistBlue]

It's the same in the U.S. unfortunately. The Dolphins Stadium where the Miami Dolphins play has gone through many name changes. People were annoyed when it was called Landshark Stadium for a time, after the beer co-owned by Eagles pal Jimmy Buffett. Many people thought it was silly and refused to use the name. At least it wasn't called Parrothead or Margaritaville Stadium.

[Freypower]

Here, I saw the Eagles at what was once Allianz Arena, then Allphones Arena, now the Qudos Bank Arena. The old Entertainment Centre was called the Qantas Credit Union Arena when I saw them there for the last time.

The most famous example of a failed name change in the UK was when Newcastle United attempted to change the name of their iconic St James Park to Sports Direct Arena. The fans wouldn't have a bar of it.

[sodascouts]

A lot of people are disappointed with the corporate names stadiums now get. How many Verizon Wireless Arenas do you need?? And I refuse to call the New Orleans Arena "The Smoothie King Center."

That's the way it is, unfortunately. At least Azoff kept the traditional names of "The Forum" and "Madison Square Garden" on the venues he owns with Dolan.

[AlreadyGone95]

One of the chapters in the book I'm reading is called Grab Life By the (Golden) Throat, which reminded by of David Geffen's nickname for Don Henley.

[buffyfan145]

I like a lot of indie films and the Toronto International Film Festival announced their line up and some of the films' titles stood out to me as they're song titles like "The Edge of Seventeen" (which I watched the trailer and it looks good), "American Honey", but one reminded me of Glenn and it's called "Strange Weather". They're also going to debut "The Magnificent Seven" remake there too.

[TequilaSunrise82]

There is a guy at my new job who looks like a slightly less handsome version of young Glenn. The best part, he's from Michigan!

[AlreadyGone95]

Yesterday, on an episode of Green Acres I watched, Mr. Douglas made a remark about it being a long hot summer.

[NightMistBlue]

Was surprised to see a young lass, maybe 13 or 14 years old, at the mall wearing a Hotel California t-shirt. Maybe she was wearing it ironically. I live in a place where many/most people are not rock music fans. The demographics are against it.

[LuvTim]

Drove again past the little village of Eagleville, MO a few days ago. :-)
I've got to stop there sometime.

[shunlvswx]

Drove again past the little village of Eagleville, MO a few days ago. :-)
I've got to stop there sometime.

What city Eagleville is close to? I go to Branson every year and if its not far, I go by there when I have down time which is all the time when I'm there. LOL

[LuvTim]

It's about 100 miles north of Kansas City, Shun. Very close to Iowa.

[SoaringRockyMountainWay]

I've been watching the equestrian portion of the Olympics and there was a black stallion competing named Desperado. :grin: He's in second place right now!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Had never heard of Eagleville - sounds like a nice little town! :thumbsup:

And SRMW - hope Desperado won a medal!

[buffyfan145]

I was listening to Timothy's "Expando" album earlier and it dawned on me that that there's a Contemporary Christian singer who sounds so much like him named Mark Schultz. Mark has the same high tenor voice and similar style of music, and has had a lot of hit Christian songs since 2000 like "He's my Son", "He Will Carry Me", "Walkin' Her Home", and "Letters from War" to name a few. Even did a cover of the 80s song "Kyrie Eleison" by Mr. Mister. I never noticed it till now even though I've known Mark's songs since I was in high school and Timothy's most of my life.

[AlreadyGone95]

One of the authors' last name who wrote the book for my American Government class is Schmidt.

[buffyfan145]

Update on the character/actor that reminds me of Glenn Ronen Rubinstein in the newer 80s set show "Dead of Summer" and that there was a scene where his character Alex finally took the girl he likes Amy to one of his favorite spots at the camp called Eagle Creek. :D I was excited as I ship the two together but knowing this is a horror/supernatural series that bad things were coming and took some crazy twists. Don't want to give too many spoilers away but after they almost were "together" their friends stopped them as it turns out Amy is possessed by a demon and used his feelings for Amy against him and was going to kill him!!! :woah:

I've been worried about them this whole time but hopefully with these final two episodes it'll go like I'm hoping as Amy is still in there and they are all banded together to try to save her and everyone else. I think Alex is the key to get Amy back but we'll see, and I just want them both to survive and be happy together. :pray:

ETA: Love that sign Shun!!! :D

Did you find out how it got its' name?

[shunlvswx]

Yes. I just looked it up to see what's significant about that date.

In 1934, Memphis became the first major city to join TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority). This is the only thing I can find on that street or what's significant about that date.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Valley_Authority

[NightMistBlue]

Shun, did you and Soda enjoy your time in Memphis? I've been wanting to visit there for years; it's one of the most important musical places, as you know. But! It worries me a little that it might not be safe.

In other news, I was visiting Santa Cruz in the Channel Islands on Sunday, and asked the guide about Joe Walsh's connection to the island. He showed me where Joe lands in a helicopter every year to help the church in their festival. The island is considered a sacred place by many people.

OT: the fellow I rented my car from in L.A. met Glenn several years ago at a bar near Marina del Rey. He told me the name of the place, which I promptly forgot. Starts with a t? Anyway, the guy - a very tall man from Finland - reported that Glenn was short, friendly and very humble. The latter quality impressed him the most, that someone with that kind of fame and fortune would extend his hand and say, "Hi, I'm Glenn." This anecdote was prompted by my phone emitting a brief blast of "Seven Bridges Road" before I muted it. The Finn immediately identified it, from just a few seconds, which impressed me.

[shunlvswx]

Soda and I had a lot of fun. I hate we didn't get to sit together, but I really enjoyed hanging with her and her showing me Memphis. We're not that far off in age. So it was cool to hang with someone who was close to my age.

Memphis is not really bad. I enjoyed there. We probably weren't in the "bad" part of the city. LOL With the protest that happened a month ago, I didn't see any while we were there. Their was suppose to be protest going on in Memphis, but I think they stayed by Graceland which is where they say they were going to protest at. It was for something else not with what happened.

Other than we wanted to get out of Memphis because their would be a lot of drunks on the road from the concert, I felt safe other than that.

[NightMistBlue]

What concert did you all attend?

I heard about some kind of protest at Graceland but don't know what it's about. I'll look into it.

[shunlvswx]

Joe was in Memphis at the Mud Island Amphitheatre.

[NightMistBlue]

Cool! I'll check that thread then.

The Graceland protest was about economic inequality in Memphis.

[DivineDon]

So I've been watching the Olympics and maybe it's just me but I was looking at the tennis final between Andy Murray and Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina and he kept reminding me of someone....and then it struck me, I think he's a little like Glenn?

Yep, I can see that. The boy needs to grow his hair long and cultivate a droopy mustache.

[buffyfan145]

Woah, I can totally see it too DD!!! :D

[Freypower]

That has been said before, and my response is no.

And the 'long hair & droopy moustache' look was for a couple of years, not Glenn's whole life.....

[AlreadyGone95]

I'm with FP. I don't see any similarities between Glenn and him.

[DivineDon]

That has been said before, and my response is no.

And the 'long hair & droopy moustache' look was for a couple of years, not Glenn's whole life.....

Well, I'm sorry to bore you, FP but this was the first time I noticed the similarities....which as an artist I can clearly see. I said he looked a little like Glenn, especially around the eyes, eyebrows and nose - they are quite alike. His ears are larger while his mouth is smaller than Glenn's.

And as he's only 27 I think NMB's observations about the long hair and drooping moustache would fit Glenn's timeline which is why she picked that particular look.

I'm very tempted to do a mock-up of del Potro with the 'tache and long hair for fun which is why I posted in the first place.

[L101]

I think he does look a bit like a young Glenn from the '70's DD - especially around the eyes and the shape of his face. If he did have the long hair, then IMO, they would look very similar.

[buffyfan145]

That's what I noticed too DD as I'm usually drawn to people's eyes first and that's what I noticed with del Porto too. It's the eyes, nose, and facial structure but for me I notice it more with older Glenn. I'd personally love to see that mock up too. :)

Then I realized a couple Eagles songs could fit what Jake Owen's talking about in the chorus of his latest song "American Country Love Song". :D It's another reason why they influenced so many of today's country artists.

"And every town, in every place
There’s a boy who’s trying to take a chance
and dance and find a way to run away with her heart
In the back of an old Ford truck
In the bar, just looking for luck
In a pair of oh my blue eyes, let them fireworks start
That American country love song
Ain’t ever gonna quit playing on and on and on."

Everytime the mention House Frey on Game Of Thrones I say I did not know Glenn was a Noble Lord lol.

[buffyfan145]

Saw a commercial for Bank of America last night and it featured a coach and his Little League baseball team and they were called the Eagles. :D

[buffyfan145]

I'm working on my post of Don's amazing concert last night but one funny moment before it was seeing a group of 5 cute 20-somthing guys talking about feeling out of place at the concert because of them being young but they noticed me and my brother being closer in age to them, but they just had this band look about them. I could be wrong but it felt like it and reminded me of some of the Eagles photo shoots as they've would've been the same age as these guys. LOL :D

[Houston Baby]

On the Classic Rock radio station in H-town this morning, they played TURN IT OR BURN IT which involves the listeners calling in to voice their opinion of either liking it(turn it) or not(burn it) of new covers. The djs played Nickelback's cover of Dirty Laundry. It was about half and half with the callers but I agreed with the djs who said very very few can sing a song better than Don Henley :applause:

[DivineDon]

I just has a little fun with this :)

One is a rock 'n roll god and the other a hot shot tennis star....

That is great DD and I totally see the resemblance. :D

[VillageGirl]

That's awesome! I see it too.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks so much for that, DD - great job! I can see a definite resemblance at a quick glance, but not so much when I take a closer look. Their mouths, in particular, look very different to me.

[Jonny Come Lately]

I saw a bit of the CMA Music Fest on TV last night (I assume it was this year's festival, not sure though) and was given a few Eagles reminders.

I noticed that Hank Williams Jr. played his song Born To Boogie, which reminded me of the Long Run outtake on Selected Works of the same name (IIRC Wikipedia states that the Eagles version was written by Williams, when it is a clearly different song - for one thing, Hank's song was released in 1987).

Another reminder was that Miranda Lambert was on, which reminded me of her vocal on Bramble Rose (my sister quite likes her so I played her the song, which she hadn't heard before).

However, the main thing that reminded me was how different the approach to country music is now. I know modern country is quite different from its more traditional forms. It reminded so much me of Don's views on country music and also his specific comment in Manchester - 'The music that comes out of Nashville now... that's not country!'.

[RudieCantFail]

Today in my Human Bio class, my professor had her Pandora up on the projector at the start of class. I saw that a station called "The Eagles (UK) Radio" was up there. I thought it was weird that it said that, and I thought about the Eagles. I just looked it up and the The Eagles (UK) were a British quartet that existed from 1958 to 1964.

I also thought her last name was pronounced like 'pray' or 'fray,' but nope, it's pronounced like 'fry' or 'Frey.' I'd rather not say her last name on here for you know, reasons. It did end in -rey, but I didn't think of Frey until she said her name.

Also, she allows us to pick a codename to post grades online, since she doesn't really use Canvas or Angel. I have a limit of 10 characters, so I was thinking of "TheLongRun" or "Desperado." I'd like to use my current username, but it's too long. And I don't want to shorten it to RCF for that instance. I have no problem w/ it on here. Anyways, I might pick the former, since I like that album better, unless there are any suggestions that come up here. I have until next Tuesday to decide.

[Jonny Come Lately]

I've come up with a short list of a few Eagles song titles that have 10 letters or fewer in total, assuming you don't use spaces (as in your 'TheLongRun' example). There aren't that many, as many of their songs have quite long titles with several words (e.g. Peaceful Easy Feeling, After The Thrill Is Gone and Frail Grasp On The Big Picture to name three), but these would fit along with the two you've already mentioned.

TakeItEasy
Earlybird
Tryin'
TwentyOne
OutlawMan
MyMan
JamesDean
Ol'55
LyinEyes
Visions
WastedTime
InTheCity
ThoseShoes
TheSadCafe
GetOverIt
HowLong
Somebody

Hope this helps! It looks weird to see the song titles typed out in this way, but it makes it easier to see how many characters each name has. I won't make any suggestions as it is your codename and it is ultimately your decision.

[RudieCantFail]

Thanks, JCL! TakeItEasy, Ol'55, InTheCity, ThoseShoes, TheSadCafe, and HowLong are pretty good, and I'll put those up under consideration. LyinEyes, WastedTime, and GetOverIt can make me look a little mischievous w/o any knowledge of the Eagles. I like the songs, but I don't think GetOverIt would look good next to a grade or test score. I'd pick OutlawMan if I was a dude, even though I like it a lot. The rest at first glance wouldn't necessarily scream Eagles. I'd pick Earlybird if I was a morning person and if I liked the song enough.

It's too bad that Don hardly has any songs w/ short song titles, other than 1 or 2 on each album that he has done. I also looked at Glenn's discography, and I didn't really see anything that jumped at me for a short song title other than Partytown. ETA: Just thought that Funk49 could work well.

Anyways, thank you very much again for taking the time to come up with a list!

[buffyfan145]

Well the actor/character that reminds me on Glenn of "Dead of Summer" Alex (played by Ronen Rubinstein) got killed off in the finale last night but it is a horror series so I should've expected it. LOL :( Still sad though but he died a hero saving one of girls and his redemption arc coming full circle. Weird thing was that the other guy I liked on the show Garrett (played by Alberto Freeza) got killed off too almost the same way and ending up saving everyone else.

It is an anthology series and the writers already said if it gets renewed for season 2 it'll be set in 1970 and reuse the same actors in new roles as well as some new actors. Before getting cast as Alex, Ronen had his hair shoulder length and got it cut in a shorter 80s style for the show since season 1 was 1989. So I'm hoping if it happens he'll grow it back out again to fit the time period and look like 70s Glenn again. :D

Plus, I also love how close the cast is and the bromance that has formed between Ronen and as he's said on his social media pages "his brother from another mother" Alberto. Reminds me of Glenn & Don so much already. :heart:

[Delilah]

Is "Dead of Summer" over already? I kept missing it. I think I just watched the first episode. I'll have to catch up with On Demand. I don't remember a guy resembling Glenn. I'll be on the look out for him.

[buffyfan145]

Yeah, the season finale was last night. It was only 10 episodes and I got hooked quickly with all those twists. LOL The Alex character played by Ronen Rubinstein reminded me of 80s Glenn both having his hair and personality wise, and then I found out he was on "Orange is the New Black" last year and used to have the same long hair too as 70s Glenn and was driving an old Ford pickup truck in that ep. :)

[Freypower]

I'd pick OutlawMan if I was a dude, even though I like it a lot. The rest at first glance wouldn't necessarily scream Eagles. I'd pick Earlybird if I was a morning person and if I liked the song enough.

It's too bad that Don hardly has any songs w/ short song titles, other than 1 or 2 on each album that he has done. I also looked at Glenn's discography, and I didn't really see anything that jumped at me for a short song title other than Partytown. ETA: Just thought that Funk49 could work well.

Anyways, thank you very much again for taking the time to come up with a list!

AfterHours?

[RudieCantFail]

Thanks, FP! It's a good codename, but I haven't really given Glenn's recent album a fair shake. It's not the kind of music I listen to, but I like his vocals on the few songs I've listened to so far.

[buffyfan145]

Carrie Underwood has a new song called "Dirty Laundry" and totally threw me off at first but it's not a cover. LOL Reminds me too of Keith Urban's latest single was called "Wasted Time" (he has another one out).

[AlreadyGone95]

I have a great uncle who was born in 1947. At my family reunion, I looked at photos from previous reunions. In one of the photos, my uncle looked alot like an HFO era Don Henley, complete with the baby blue eyes and all. This photo was from the mid 90s.

[buffyfan145]

As I mentioned in the TV show thread I've been finally watching "Gilmore Girls" and I'm close to halfway through season 2 and it dawned on me tonight why David Sutcliffe's (who plays Rory's father Christopher) voice sounded so familiar and it's because it sounds like Glenn's. :o David's voice is a bit higher pitched but the accent and just the way he says certain words and phrases sound the same. They don't look alike and David is actually Canadian but David doing an American Mid-Western accent sounds so much like Glenn. :D

[WS82Classics]

Usually, I am the only one wearing an Eagles shirt when I go to class. However, as I was snatching change from the vending machine dispensers, I spotted someone around my age wearing what looked like a "Selected Works"-era Eagles t-shirt.

That provides me some comfort, as I have been told by a couple of people who know of my favourite band that I need to branch out musically.

[buffyfan145]

So I usually keep up with Billy Crudup's movies since I saw him playing Russell in "Almost Famous" and he was based off Glenn, and found out this morning he's been casted in the film version of "The Flash" as Barry Allen's dad Henry!!! :yay: I've been a huge fan of "The Flash" since I was little and watched the 90s TV show with John Wesley Shipp with my parents, and then the "Justice League" 90s/early 2000s cartoon, and for the past 3 years the current "Flash" TV show with Grant Gustin. Barry's my 2nd favorite superhero after Batman. LOL So Billy's joining another of my fandoms.

Also what I love about this casting is that DC is doing the same as the current "Flash" TV show where Barry's father is played by an actor who already played a similar character. John, who was 90s Barry, now is Barry's father Henry (and in one of the alternative universe Earths is still The Flash), and Billy also played a similar character of a scientist who gets struck by lightning and gets superpowers in "Watchmen" (which is also a DC comic but different universe). :D I get so emotional seeing John play Barry's dad and I know I'm going to now with Billy playing Ezra Miller's version of Barry's dad and with how Billy played a version of Glenn.

So takes like father, like son to another level. :p

[buffyfan145]

Just saw Sam Neill got casted in the 3rd "Thor" film from Marvel "Ragnarok" and they're being really secretive about who he's playing. A lot of us Marvel fans including me are thinking he's going to play one of the Norse gods and one of the main ones they haven't casted yet is the god Freyr (sometimes spelled Frey). I saw it was posted before about how Glenn's last name comes from this and it made me think of Glenn too with the casting.

Ragnarok in Norse myth is like the "end of days" for Asgard (the realm of the gods) so they have to band together to stop it. So it would make sense for us to see the other gods that haven't been shown yet in the other films like Freyr, his twin sister Freya the goddess of fate, Idun the goddess of the apples, and many more. They already have all the days of the week gods casted expect Freyr & Freya (though some think Friday might really be named after Frigga, who in the Marvel movies/comics is Thor and Loki's mom and Odin's wife). The others are Tyr (Tuesday), Odin (Wednesday), and Thor (Thursday). Plus the other gods and goddess like Loki, Sif, and Hela. So I'm really hoping we'll finally have the twins in this.

[WS82Classics]

The title of the Monkees' song "Randy Scouse Git," apparently a big hit for the band, makes me think a little of the Randman. The music doesn't so much.

[AlreadyGone95]

Most of Friday's programming on the Decades TV channel was devoted to James Dean, since Friday marked the 61st anniversary of his passing.

[AlreadyGone95]

I'm currently at my local bar/grill, and a friend of mine is providing live music entertainment. After a few beers, I ask him what Eagles songs he knows.

Him: What one you want to hear?
Me: one that Glenn Frey sang.
Him: I can't remember which ones he sang.
Me: Take It Easy, Lyin'Eyes, New Kid in Town

My friend plays and sings Lyin' Eyes in full on his guitar, without missing a beat. He's not Glenn Frey, but he did a great job.

He then goes to his keyboard and does New Kid in Town. He couldn't remember all of the words , but still he did a good job.

[buffyfan145]

That's so cool he sang those Kim. :)

My Dad just told us this morning about this Old West festival he found out that's going on close to Cincinnati and now we're planning on going next weekend or weekend after. Pretty much it's exactly like the Renaissance Festival but it's all Western themed and there's going to be people dressed up as cowboys, gunslingers, lawmen, etc. and reenactments and music. They even made a Dodge City replica and all I can think of it sounds like the "Desperado" cover photo shoot. My Dad is so excited about this and I'm looking forward to it. :D

[buffyfan145]

The 2nd "Iron Fist" trailer came out and I posted before but Finn Jones looks a lot like 70s Don. :D He's more scruffy now in the new trailer (where the last one he had a full beard) and his curly hair is blonder, but dye it a bit darker and he looks a lot like Don. Plus, his character Danny being called Iron Fist as he gets powers to make his punches have more of an impact and Don being a drummer made me laugh. This is going to be fun to watch in March and later in Marvel's "Defenders" miniseries.

[WS82Classics]

Watching the movie "Foul Play," and Goldie Hawn's character was wearing an "On the Border" t-shirt in the scene where she's throwing a dwarf out the window.

[shunlvswx]

I remembered that scene. Its funny that I've been watching that movie for years and I had just discover I think 2 years ago that Goldie's character was wearing an Eagles shirt.

I guess I've never notice since I wasn't a fan yet and I didn't put two and two together when I was watching that movie for years.

[buffyfan145]

Kings of Leon have a great new album out "Walls" today and one of their new songs "Muchacho" sounds so much like a "Desperado" era Eagles song!!! :D Also it made me think of Glenn as the song is about the guys in KOL losing one of their friends/family and some of the lyrics oddly could fit Glenn.

My riding partner used to work for a living
He'd take the backseat of all that he was given
He'd let you rise and take the fall
He was my favorite friend of all

My old muchacho
Loved to dress for each occasion
Without that rocket shell taking me in the right direction
Those crooked eyes that knew it all
Was my favorite friend of all
He was my favorite friend of all

He's wearing jeans on jeans
Cut him some slack, Fox
Pressed to the corner of the scene
Just here to take stock
He'll take the chain
He'll take the ball
He was my favorite friend of all
He was my favorite friend of all
He was my favorite friend of all

[buffyfan145]

I'm currently reading Nicholas Sparks' new novel "Two by Two" and the main character Russell has a couple work nemeses at his ad agency, one of which is named Todd Henley and he only refers to him as "Henley".

One of the local radio stations is having an Eagles themed weekend this weekend.

[shunlvswx]

Do you remember the name of the station? I might to it online.

Watching the movie "Foul Play," and Goldie Hawn's character was wearing an "On the Border" t-shirt in the scene where she's throwing a dwarf out the window.

Now you make me want to see the film - not just for the t-shirt!

[NightMistBlue]

That sounds like so much fun. Are you dressing up? I was a cowgirl two Halloweens ago, so I'd be ready to go if they had an Old West shindig in my town (not bloody likely, ever)!

[buffyfan145]

That sounds like so much fun. Are you dressing up? I was a cowgirl two Halloweens ago, so I'd be ready to go if they had an Old West shindig in my town (not bloody likely, ever)!

I'm hoping we're still going as this weekend is it's last till next year. LOL But I do have a cowgirl hat and would totally dress up if we do. :D

Kim, that's awesome. Love when stations do weekends like it.

[Delilah]

I just caught an episode of The Andy Griffith Show titled "Mountain Wedding", featuring the Dillard brothers as the Darling family. One of the Dillards is Doug Dillard who taught Bernie the banjo and was his band mate in Dillard and Clark (the band that originated Train Leaves Here This Morning).

[NightMistBlue]

Yep, I saw that listing and remembered Don H's anecdote about Doug's jealous girlfriend driving the front of her car into the Troubadour, is that how it went? c

Happy Halloween, everybody on The Border. Got my cowgirl outfit on today.

[Delilah]

Yep, NMB, you have a good memory. I had to look it up--it's on p. 185 of Marc Eliot's "To The Limit":


"Those were truly great times, like when Doug Dillard's girlfriend tried to run him over in front of the club. He was with another woman, or had been, or something, and she drove right into the front window of the Troubadour trying to hit him"-Don Henley

[NightMistBlue]

There was a fair amount of Bernie Leadon and Doug Dillard content in John Einarson's 2005 biography of Gene Clark. Dillard was a huge influence on Bernie; the latter basically hunted Doug down and said, "Teach me everything you know!" about the banjo.

[buffyfan145]

I follow actor Sam Heughan from "Outlander" on Twitter and he tweeted earlier that he's at an estate/hotel and golf resort in Scotland called Gleneagles. :D Not only did the name catch my eye but that our Glenn loved golf too.

[Delilah]

I was watching a panel discussion about presidential transitions on C-SPAN and one of the panelists was named David Eagles.

[buffyfan145]

I was at the Cleveland Cavilers basketball game last night and one of their players has the last name Frye and it's pronounced like Glenn's. :)

[UndertheWire]

I'm reading a crime book set in LA. It has a rich industrialist with a young and beautiful mexican wife who's cheating on him with a young and handsome mariachi. This ends with murder rather than a song.

[AlreadyGone95]

I spent over 25 minutes talking to my History professor after class this morning. We talked about history and music. Five of those minutes were spent discussing the Eagles, particularly Don Henley, as he's my professor's favorite Eagle. :D (Yeah, this professor is my favorite lol.)

[buffyfan145]

Two things last night with first the story of the bald eagle that got stuck in a Florida sewer drain and the other bald eagle that alerted the humans and stayed with the one stuck till they were able to rescue them.

Then on "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" they time traveled to 1987 and part of the episode was set in Miami and they did a great homage to "Miami Vice" and the season's main villains got caught at first smuggling what they thought were drugs and weapons but turned out to be a mystical/sci-fi weapon. The whole thing made me think of Glenn's episode of "Miami Vice" and "Smuggler's Blues". Plus not to mention all the 80s music, fashion, and references in the episode and next week they're going back to the Old West again to stop the gang that been terrorizing Jonah Hex's town.

[NightMistBlue]

... the story of the bald eagle that got stuck in a Florida sewer drain and the other bald eagle that alerted the humans and stayed with the one stuck till they were able to rescue them.

Wow, gotta check that out. Never heard of a wild eagle seeking out interaction with humans. I've heard of dolphins with fishing line caught in their flippers who will approach boats in the hope that someone will help them.

LINK: apparently the two birds were fighting. Bad eagles! Bad! http://people.com/pets/bald-eagle-rescued-from-storm-drain-in-florida/

[buffyfan145]

Well that changes it that they were fighting. LOL My local news made it sound like the one who wasn't stuck was trying to help the other, but either way glad they were rescued.

[NightMistBlue]

My local news just had the story and said it was a male and female eagle. The male was protecting his mate. Their video showed him clearly using his wings to shelter the other bird. They weren't fighting.

[buffyfan145]

Aww, that's good to know. :) The pictures I saw looked like that and glad to see that was the case.

Last night rewatched "Rebel Without a Cause" as I hadn't see it in years and made me think of "James Dean" and little Glenn watching it and getting inspired by him.

[Jonny Come Lately]

I was looking through some of my lecture notes today and was reminded of one map of a small area which showed the different types of minerals in that area. One of the rock types was labelled as 'Volcanic country rock'. Reading that made me think about which Eagles songs would best fit that description!

[Delilah]

That's an interesting question, JCL. There are 3 possibilities, I think-- "Witchy Woman" "Take the Devil" and "Good Day in Hell." The latter probably makes the best fit, as it evokes the more fire-and-brimstone imagery of a volcano. It's a stretch to call it "country rock" though; its more like a straight up rock song, at least to me.

[Brooke]

I wonder if Joe likes Star Wars? This reminded me of Joe's RRHoF suit! I can just see him wearing it! :lol:

But of course! :lol:

Thanks, UtW!

[buffyfan145]

There's this new commercial in the US for this new cup called the "Rocky Mountain Tumbler" and it supposed keeps drinks colder way longer than normal cups. I immediately thought of Joe's song and the funny thing was over the holidays my parents and brother saw the ad too and my brother joked they should've used Joe's song as a jingle, like "The Rocky Mountain Tumbler is better than the cups we had". LOL :lol:

[sodascouts]

LOL!

"Drinks in tumblr Rocky Mountain Way... Couldn't get much colder!"

[Glennsallnighter]

Thats brilliant. I can hear it in my head.

My Brother got Dad a pair of shoes for Christmas. When I was helping him into them today (Dad, not the bro!) I notice that their brand name was 'Henley'!

[Brooke]

Certainly an advertising opportunity for Joe! :lol:

Ga, cool shoes for your Dad, too!

[buffyfan145]

There's a new country rock band that's starting to get big called Midland and they are already being compared to the Eagles and after listening to them I can see why. :D

It all started last night as my uncle posted on FaceBook an article talking about Midland and how he's loving their bringing a more traditional country sound back to today's country music. My Dad saw this post and ended up listening to them and then proceeded to get my Mom, brother, and I to listen to them too and he himself was comparing them to the Eagles and instantly liked them. They really do have a very similar Eagles style harmonies mixed with traditional country sounds of George Strait and Alan Jackson, and all three of the band members are from Texas. They aren't really that young either as 2 of the members are 37 and the other is 31, but their 1st album is coming out later this year.

The other things that I found funny with the similarities was that their band photos of them look like the early Eagles ones as they are in the desert wearing jeans, denim shirts, and boots, and two of the members have mustaches. ;-) Also, turns out the lead singer used to be a model for Calvin Kline, which I didn't expect. LOL

Then I got my latest issue of Entertainment Weekly today and they had an article talking about 10 new artists/musicians to look out for this year and Midland was one of them, and they too compared them to the Eagles. Their article is online here too:

http://ew.com/music/2017/01/19/the-10-new-artists-who-will-rule-2017/

[Delilah]

Cool, Buffyfan, I'll have to check them out.


There's a blurb in Parade about actress Christina Ricci, who is featured as Zelda Fitzgerald in "Z: The Beginning of Everything." It's supposed to be streaming on Amazon starting today. Of course, this reminded me of Witchy Woman.

[sodascouts]

I remember that concert where Glenn is introducing that song and, referring to Zelda, says something to the effect of "She was WEEEEIIIIIRD!" lol

[Funk 50]

Just listened to a radio show featuring Elbow going through their brand new album, Little Fictions, track by track. Took me right back to the release of Long Road Out Of Eden in 2007. Three nights of hearing new Eagles, music for the first time, with all the band members talking us through it. :partytime:

[NightMistBlue]

If any of you are watching the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet, there is a sweet brown and white pup named Glenn. He's a very mellow guy.

[Jonny Come Lately]

I remember that concert where Glenn is introducing that song and, referring to Zelda, says something to the effect of "She was WEEEEIIIIIRD!" lol

Glenn definitely said that line during the 1973 BBC version of WW. I love the way he says that bit! :hilarious: I also find the 'details, details' banter amusing, pretty sure it was from that show too.

[UndertheWire]

I'm just back from the supermarket. There was a display of vinyl records - the first I've ever seen in that shop - and it was clearly aimed at late baby boomers. I saw Queen, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac (Rumours) but no Eagles. Twenty minutes later, I walked passed and there at the front was Hotel California. Not forgotten, after all. Here's the full list http://www.j-sainsbury.co.uk/media/latest-stories/2016/0318-sainsburys-to-stock-vinyl-records-as-formats-popularity-soars/

However, it looks like a rival supermarket has been selling vinyl, including HC for at least a year: http://thevinylfactory.com/news/tesco-to-stock-a-range-of-vinyl-records-after-trial-success/

I went to a friend's retirement party over the weekend. It was held at the "Fraternal Order of Eagles" building. One of the signatures on the "retirement" shirt was "Glenn" (yes, with 2 'n's).

Interesting! Even though Tesco got in first, I think Sainsburys have a better selection - even as a Gilmour fan I'm not sure how much long term demand there will be for an album like Rattle That Lock on vinyl, whereas the only recent album Sainsburys has is Adele 25, a massive hit. Sainsburys also seems to have more classic albums, such as Led Zeppelin I and IV (Tesco only offers L. Z. II) and Abbey Road by The Beatles as well as Sgt Pepper. It's interesting that both sell HC, as I noticed that Tesco stocks Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits, whereas Sainsburys has the Rumours album.

[buffyfan145]

I just finished reading Neil Gaiman's "Norse Mythology", his retelling of the Norse god & goddess' stories in modern English, and it was great. :D I love reading about the various mythologies and especially Norse myth from being a fan of Marvel Comics and the "Thor" movies, and of course I was paying attention to how he wrote the the god Frey (sometimes spelled Freyr) and his twin sister the goddess Freya. Frey is depicted as a being a god pretty much everyone loves, especially those of us in Midguard/Earth as he controls the weather, the seasons, the harvest in the fall, and this part stood out as "he's responsible for giving the humans their peaceful days and nights". ;)

Frey also got his own solo story about how even though he had all these possessions, the love of all the gods, humans, and creatures, he was still missing something in his life and that was love and a family of his own. It was the most romantic of the stories included as Frey finally met his wife Gerd. :inlove: It was so nice to read, as most are very dark but also comical at times. And apparently one of their sons was supposedly the first king of Sweden.

Then Frey's twin sister Freya was awesome. :D She stood up for herself and couldn't stand Loki at all (and he's my favorite in the Thor movies LOL) and never fell for any of his tricks. It's nice seeing a strong woman depicted in this especially how these myths were written in ancient times. In Marvel Comics she's sometimes a villain, so it was nice seeing how she was originally written.

[UndertheWire]

This is very much a reminder by association. I was watching something on Roy Orbison and "Pretty Woman". Of course, Orbison opened for the Eagles on one of their tours. Then there was an interview with James Burton who played with Orbison and Elvis but also did studio work including an album for a duo called Longbranch Pennywhistle. Burton talks about Black& White Night and there's a clip of Burton playing with Orbison and Bruce Springsteen. Surely that's JD Souther with guitar and singing backup? Wait a minute, isn't that Jackson Browne? What a pity there weren't any Eagles present.
Here's a clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUCdKjyMbaY

[buffyfan145]

I'm about halfway through season 1 of "Iron Fist" and I still can't get over how much Finn Jones reminds me of young Don Henley. :D I mentioned it before but actually watching the episodes I see it even more, especially the stare. LOL

[Brooke]

I mentioned in the Movies thread that I had watched "War Dogs" recently and the opening song was Funk 49 by the James Gang and ending song was Everybody Knows only it was sung by Leonard Cohen.

Great movie and very eye opening!

[groupie2686]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but...I was driving out of town for work the other day, through a rural area, and listening to the Eagles, as I always do when I drive long distance. The Last Resort was playing and there right in front of me was a big sign that said "JESUS IS COMING!" - right before the line in the song. I burst out laughing so hard I'm lucky I didn't veer off the road.

At the start of the Simpsons that I'm watching with my son, Bart wrote on the Blackboard 'it's November the 6th......':weep:

[buffyfan145]

I was watching an interview with British actor Rufus Sewell talking about what helped him prepare for him playing Lord Melbourne on "Victoria", the ITV/PBS show about Queen Victoria's life, and Rufus brought up that while studying Lord Melbourne's life he noticed how similar his early years in the Regency time period was to that of the late 1960s and 70s music scene in California. Lord Melbourne went to school and was close friends with Lord Byron, Percy Shelly, and many other poets and artists who got famous and had a similar lifestyle to what we would attribute to rock stars. LOL And then the whole scandal with Lord Melbourne's wife having an affair with Byron. So I totally get why Rufus said he drew inspiration from the 60s/70s music scene and playing Lord Melbourne, by the time Queen Victoria knew him as the Prime Minister and her advisor, as much reformed and wiser from that but stories and rumors still around that she had questions about. LOL :)

[sodascouts]

Ooh cool comparison!

[Delilah]

I was reading about Pippa Middleton's wedding and saw that her dress was designed by Giles Deacon. With this summer's concerts coming up, it reminded me, of course, of Deacon Frey and the Eagles.

[East Texas Girl]

Someone posted in one of threads that they thought Scott Bacula from NCIS: New Orleans reminded them of Glenn, I had never paid attention to that before but they really do favor each other. So now every time I watch it (it is one of my favorite shows along with NCIS) I think of Glenn.

I love the picture of Scott's Bluff. It's not at all what I was expecting.

[BlueJeanBaby]

Thanks everyone - glad to share. I figured folks here would appreciate my "sightings" more than my traveling companions did ;)

UTW, I know what you mean - there were several stops we made, including Scott's Bluff, that I didn't know a whole lot about prior to visiting so it was really interesting to see.

[buffyfan145]

I'm watching Netflix's new drama series "Ozark" and they actually used Bob Seger's "Still the Same" during two scenes in episode 3 of season 1. One was the song playing at a bar where a character was singing along, and then later Jason Bateman's character quotes some of the lyrics to Laura Linney's. Instantly made me think of Glenn.

[Jonny Come Lately]

Just remembered I had a funny one the other day - I saw a couple of small shampoo tubes which had different phrases on them. One of them read 'Peace Be Still' and another read 'Good Hair Day'. However, when I first saw them I read them as 'Learn To Be Still' and 'Good Day In Hell'! :hilarious:

I bet so! We'll see how it goes!

[buffyfan145]

In my latest issue of Entertainment Weekly I got today they had a new article talking about the rise of bands coming back in modern day country music including some of my current favorite country bands Old Dominion, Midland, and LanCo. The article talked about how they and other bands are bringing back the Laurel Canyon country-rock sound back to country music (since that wouldn't be considered rock music anymore) and of course made me think of the Eagles and why I'm probably drawn to this newer music.

[groupie2686]

I was walking back to my office with my boss after a business lunch the other day and my boss looked up in the sky and said "Look! An eagle!" Sure enough there was an eagle flying over our heads. This made me think of Glenn's story in the HOTE documentary about seeing an eagle when they were at Joshua Tree shooting the cover for their first album. Of course, I'd much rather this happened with the band in the California desert than in the cold with my boss! :)

[East Texas Girl]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.... This weekend while we were traveling up through Kansas for my son's football game we stopped off in Coffeyville. (We all love the old west and all things history.) We saw the bank that the Dalton Gang robbed and "Death Alley" where most of them met their deaths. They have a Dalton Gang Defenders Museum there, with all things Coffeyville to view. We saw the photo of the gang lying dead on the ground after the battle was over that the Eagles mimicked for their Desperado cover. The real photo actually shows a hole in the fence behind the bodies with a small boy looking through (I never knew that or seen it before) we were told it was the doctor's, who attended the gang, son. I immediately had to pull up a picture of the album cover to see which Eagle member was which gang member. (I know, I'm a little strange...) Of course the Eagles had one more person than the Dalton Gang did. It was all pretty interesting if you are into that sort of thing.

Today while I was Christmas shopping in Macys I saw a display of jeans that had patches on them. Brought a smile to my face and made me think of Glenn and the patched jeans he wore.

[peneumbra]

Every time I go into (or drive by) the Troubador, or the Bar Marmont, or the place where the Palomino used to be...

Peneumbra - Did you hang out there in the late 60's early 70's when the guys did. If so, very cool ! Would love to hear some of your stories.

[peneumbra]

I seem to recall going to the Troubadour in maybe… I guess it was 1972. I got to know Doug (Weston), and he'd let me in even though he knew i was under age - thanks, Doug, wherever you may be.

A lot of very interesting things - to put it mildly - took place at the Troubador; some of them even happened on stage. A certain member of this band, who shall remain nameless (rhymes with "High") referred to the whole scene as "The Days Of Lines And Noses."

I have read a lot about it and sounds like it was a wild place. Glenn had so so thing from what I have read, to say about the Troubadour. How old were you then ? Was the legal age 18 or 21 ? Were you a roadie or did you just work for that one tour ?

[peneumbra]

I was 18 when I started going to the Troubador; the legal age for clubs serving drinks was (and is) 21.

I worked various Eagles tours through mid-1976. The money wasn't great, but I made up for it by going out in the audience during the encores and honing my pickpocket skills...

[shunlvswx]

As I was watching my favorite show called This Is Us, the family bought a car from a car dealership called Doug Henley(I forgot the rest of the name, but it was cool and surprising to see the name Henley.

[buffyfan145]

I noticed that too Shun and thought the same thing!!! :D

[luciknight]

So, there's this new car here that seems like everyone in my city bought it, it's a Jeep, model "Night Eagle"
Every damn time I see that car around I'm like "ooohhhhh" :partytime: smiling like an idiot

[groupie2686]

Watching the movie "Foul Play," and Goldie Hawn's character was wearing an "On the Border" t-shirt in the scene where she's throwing a dwarf out the window.

I'm watching this movie right now and I just noticed this. I've been watching this movie for years and this is the first time I've noticed the On the Border tshirt. Very cool!

[Brooke]

Reminded me of Timothy: I bought paint for my bedroom and the name of the color is "Playin' it cool"! :smile:

(It's a light gray)

This is not a political post, I swear! But the comment in response to the article just cracked me up. Your mileage may vary...

[MarthaJo56]

I'm a theater costume designer and was recently hired for a gig that is a 2-hour drive from my home in Vermont.A funny adventure happened on the way to the theater:
I was about 3/4 of a mile from my exit just past White River Junction,VT driving in the fast lane, or the passing lane as they call it in Vermont and had just passed a car. Coincidentally, I was putting in CD #2 of The Very Best of the Eagles.
I was only going 72mph, which is my usual speed on the interstate. A vehicle was in my blind spot, but slowed down. So I sped up and pulled into the driving lane. That vehicle was then behind me.
Lo & behold, it was a Vermont State Trooper.
Sure enough, he pulled me over. I thought, maybe, when I was putting the CD in it looked like I was texting & driving.
He was a nice guy. Trooper Thompson was his name. I hadn't done anything wrong. Turns out, the DMV thinks that my license expired in 2012, the year I got my California license,when we moved back there, which I'm still using.
He chit chatted with me for a minute, checked that everything was okay, and sent me on my merry way.
I wasn't speeding, wasn't on my way to a poker game with a drug dealer, no drugs in the car. Although, "Life in the Fast Lane" was playing on the CD.:grooving:
AND....
For my day job, I work in a shoe store. Every time I see a certain pair of sandal, I always sing (in my head) "got those pretty little straps around your ankles". And yes, I am going to buy 2 pair--one for everyday and one for my daughter's wedding :):grooving::inlove:

[sodascouts]

LOL CAinOH!


And cute story, MarthaJo56!

[sodascouts]

In church choir today, we sang a song called "This Blood." As soon as I saw the title on the sheet music, "this love" from "Taking You Home" popped into my head! "And this love (this looooooove) is like nothing I have ever known..."

[FreyFollower]

"Taking You Home" is one of my favorite "Don" songs. And "This Blood" is just awesomely powerful. Would love to have heard y'all sing it!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

It doesn't take much to remind us about the band, does it?

Right up the road from me is an apartment complex called Glendale. Every time I pass it (which I did yesterday), I just think to myself what a shame it is that they spelled it wrong. :blush:

[sodascouts]

No. It doesn't take much at all! In fact, when teaching Othello recently, I read his line that he was "one that loved not wisely, but too well" and immediately thought of "Wasted Time."

[Brooke]

My husband and I went to St. Louis to our nephew's wedding reception Saturday night and as we were sitting in the lobby having a drink there were also lots of Chicago Blackhawks fans milling about getting ready to go to the game with the St. Louis Blues. I couldn't help remembering that Glenn wore a Blackhawks jersey back in the day. Made me kinda sad.

[Susie R]

I was channel surfing this afternoon and landed on the Nebraska/Iowa football game. Randy of course is from Nebraska, and apparently is partial to that team since I've seen a few photos of him with "Nebraska" on his shirt. I love college football, so I watched that. Maybe he was watching as well!!! :cool:

[sodascouts]

Today all the children's choirs sung in church. They are big - one is the really little kids up to kindergarten and that had like 30 kids, and the one with all the elementary school kids had about 60!

So all these kids' parents have come to hear their babies sing and as soon as the little ones begin "Hark the Herald Angels Sing", about 20 phones shoot up in the air to record them. With the larger choir, it's twice that number.

And all I could think was "Good thing this isn't an Eagles concert or security would be all over these people!" I imagined Don sitting in a pew behind one of them, scowling disapprovingly but unable to force them to put the phone away, and I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing.

[UndertheWire]

A few weeks ago, I was watching "The Good Doctor" and a recurring concern throughout the episode was which way round a toilet roll should be hung. None of the rolls had blue flowers.

:lol: OMG - Too funny ! I was just discussing this with a group of friends at lunch a few days ago. One woman in our group had to use the ladies room, she saw the toilet paper was "backwards" and fixed it before she exited the bathroom. That brought up a whole conversation on how toilet paper should be put on the roll. Most(including me) put it "over" - lol.

Lol! Not being able to say anything, I would picture him having to step outside to let off some steam! You do have to wonder if the man has no video of his kids at such an event.

From some things I have read, he was quite the...er..videographer back in the day! ;-) How things changed!

Anyway, I am glad you got to go to the program. There's nothing sweeter (or sometimes funnier) than a children's Christmas performance!

Every time I see a Duluth Trading Company commercial, I think of "Don a Henley and Take It Easy." Bet DTC wished they'd never poked that bear!

Ah - the old toliet paper debate again ... too funny. This is never too far from my mind because I'm one of those who prefer "under". Thank goodness I don't ever have to worry about Don using the bathroom at my house. :lol:

And also - thank goodness I don't wear Henley's because if I ever did decide to "Don a Henley", I would not be able to resist the temptation to have "Take it easy" embroidered on the front pocket in nice bright colors. :twisted:

[Brooke]

Lol Dreamer!

Listening to Spotify today they played For Sentimental Reasons by Linda Ronstadt. Of course it reminded me of Glenn. :heart:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I know what you mean, Brooke. It's funny how we always associate any song that an Eagle covers with them no matter how many other artists have recorded it. For example, my first thought is of Glenn and Tim whenever I hear Caroline, No by The Beach Boys, I think of Don first whenever I hear Everybody Wants to Rule the World instead of Tears for Fears, and now I associate Everyday People with Joe instead of Sly & the Family Stone. Go figure!

[Brooke]

Has anyone seen the newest Chevy truck ad? At about 30 seconds in a soldier says "I get a peaceful easy feeling" as he's crawling in mud! Reminded me! :heart:

LOL Brooke ! I don't think Don does not have any say in how the song is used as he did not write it. Does the Army need Jack's permission ?

I have seen this as well, Brooke. You beat me to the posting... I asked my husband to listen to it to verify that is what I heard. Brings a big smile to my face each time I see it. :D

Thanks Brooke for that video. I wonder if the Eagles have any publishing rights on songs they recorded but did not write?

That's what I wondered but it was just a phrase, not the whole song. Surely not for that!

Recently the hubs and I were visiting the Alamo in San Antonio, there are signs posted all around stating pictures are not allowed inside the mission, but are ok outside of the building. Well, while looking around inside there were at least 4 different people with their cameras out trying to take pictures and each time an attendant would come up and remind them that no pictures are allowed. My husband then commented "geez, and we thought Henley was bad". We both chuckled pretty good and when I looked at the attendant she was smiling along with us, who knows maybe she is an Eagles or Don Henley fan. :rofl:

Well - I had an interesting day. I work in downtown Richmond, and a new building is being built next to the one I work in. The construction workers apparently really messed up today and caused a water main to burst. We got an alert from our building management company that the parking decks in our building were starting to flood and suggesting we may want to move our cars. So - the first question on everyone's mind was move our car to where? Like most cities, in downtown Richmond, you just can't move your car to another parking deck or park on the street. Long story short - our management reached out to try to get more information and there was none. When our director came out to tell us this - she said she didn't have a 'peaceful, easy feeling' about the lack of information. I don't know if she had a clue about the song or not. But, of course, it brought a little smile to my face, in spite of the tense situation. She told us if we had work that we could do at home that we should leave. So, I worked from home this afternoon. When I left, there was about 8 inches of water in one part of the deck, but, thankfully, I was parked in an area that it hadn't reached yet. I still have not heard any update about the extent of the flooding or if they were able to shut off the water main. But, to say the least, it wasn't a 'business as usual' kind of Monday.

[shunlvswx]

I was watching this show called the Passage(the show came from a book trilogy of the same name) for the last 2 months(season finale was about two weeks ago). So I decided to go back and watch a few episodes. especially when I really wasn't feeling the first episode at first. I missed a lot of stuff in the first episode.

As I was watching a scene where the two main characters Brad and Amy were at the carnival and I heard "so put me on a highway" and I was like wait I know that song. They were playing Take It To The Limit (with a woman singing it) in the background. I don't know how I missed that the first time I watched that episode. They also played the Chain.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well, they have pretty good taste in music, shun.

I went to my 4-year old nephew's first tee-ball game yesterday and it was a hoot. During the game, we were chatting with some other families and one of the older sisters of one of the players told us a joke. She said 'I only know 25 letters of the alphabet, but I can't tell you why'. We all laughed and thought it was very cute. However, more importantly for me, was the little thing that reminded me of the Eagles. The little girl must have been around seven, so I'm sure she was totally unaware of the significance, but my older niece immediately looked at me and grinned. :grin:

It's a good show. I'm going to buy the books and read all three of them. I'm hoping its renewed. I enjoyed watching it.

I was watching another episode yesterday and they played Doctor My Eyes.

[Brooke]

Well, I put this in the "Hearing the Eagles or solo songs unexpectedly" thread but it really belongs here!

I was surfing dish the other day and saw the movie Tequila Sunrise with Mel Gibson and Michelle Pfeiffer coming on. Of course it reminded me! I need to watch it again, it was one of my favorites back in the day!

Saw a shirt today in Walmart with palm trees, etc., and in script said "Take it Easy".

[groupie2686]

I was watching TV and one of the characters said "We are all prisoners here." I had to say, out loud, "Of our own device."

As some of you know, I'm a lawyer, and one of my coworkers sent an email about a new law firm in our area with the subject line "New firm in town." I couldn't get New Kid in Town out of my head!

Wow - I had a HUGE distraction all day at work. There is a wavy, brown-haired guy who sits at a station not too far from mine. He was wearing a purple shirt that was almost exactly the same style and color of this ...

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/desperado74/Frey/cdc_eagles96standaloneprod_affiliat.jpg

sans the white t-shirt - but he was wearing jeans. From my station, whenever I look up, I can see this guy's back. He doesn't look anything like Glenn from the front, but with that shirt, he looked exactly like Glenn from the back. It was hard to concentrate with that right in front of my eyes - I thought I was going to have to find an excuse to move to the other side of the floor. :blush: I hope I don't have to ask him not to wear that shirt again.:twisted:

Monday night my Kevin & I threw a housewarming party with a few friends to celebrate moving back to our hometown of Riverside, California. We all got into a discussion about another dear friend, Bill, who sadly is in the advanced stages of dementia, and how he was always quick with giving sagely advice.
I recalled a time back in 1977 when I ran into Bill just before my ex & I were about to move from California to Iowa. Bill said,
"IOWA??? Okay, but you know what they say about California...You can check out anytime you'd like, but you can never leave". :hug::heart:
It's SO true!!!

[Glennsallnighter]

That is becoming such a classic quote Martha!
I was in a pub (bar) at about 11 O'Clock this morning. Its not that bad - many pubs open early and serve breakfast, so we had been out walking and stopped off for a cuppa. Anyway thos active retirement group of men started a singsong. One of the songs they were singing was Wild Mountain Thyme.

I want to see "Rocketman," the new Elton John movie, last night. It featured his performance at the Troubadour and also had a scene where he attended a party at Mama Cass's house. As you might imagine, I was bursting at the seams with recollections of Eagles history in those same places! 😎

I was watching a TV special by our Houston Zoo last night called "Saving Texas Wildlife". It was telling the stories of several species that were near disappearance in the state of Texas but with the help of conservationists, the animals are being saved. One of the stories was about the black bear and how it is now reappearing in the state. They had film of a black bear roaming in Cass County. So when visiting Linden, keep your eyes open! :grin:

I’m watching a show on the Travel Channel called “Paranormal Caught on Camera,” and one of the names in the credits is Julie Meisner Eagle. How cool is that name!

[LuvTim]

Omg, that really ​is cool! 8-)

[NightMistBlue]

Hi Luvy! If that lady married Randy, her name would then be Julie Meisner Eagle Meisner. OK, not as cool. Too much of a good thing.

This morn, I was looking for a hotel in the middle Florida Keys. Came across one called The Last Resort.

This made me LOL... out loud. :)

Me, too! 😀 NMB, you're so clever!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep NMB - I got a giggle out of that, too. And I wonder if they call that hotel in the Florida Keys 'paradise'? Probably not, might get them a lawsuit. :twisted:

[FreyFollower]

I know this is reaching, but....While grocery shopping, I saw some tea intended to help you sleep called "Nighty Night". Made me smile.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Nope - I don't think that's reaching out at all, FF. This is the kind of thing that happens to us hardcores. We totally get it! :wink: :grin:

[Brooke]

Yep! We get it! :lol:

Last night (early morn) MeTV was showing a 1978 episode of Barnaby Jones titled "Victim of Love". :smile:

[KingWalsh]

Omg that’s too cute!

[MarthaJo56]

I play the online game "Wordscapes", You know, the game where you are given letters and make words in a crossword puzzle?
Anyway, yesterday two of the words I found were "Those" and "Shoes"!
:heart::heart:Whatcha gonna do tonight, Mama :heart::heart:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Very cool, MJ. It's amazing how many different ways we are reminded of this band, isn't it?

[KingWalsh]

Absolutely! Although not necessarily a reminder but a cute story. We were watching tv and a show was being filmed in Philly and they mentioned “Home of the Eagles” and my son jumped up and said “mommy they talking about the Eagles!” My reply “ya not the right ones honey”

I was just scrolling through my Facebook and an ad for Old Navy had the caption "Take it Easy in these" It was an ad for cool linen pants. I was gonna buy a pair but they were out of my size.

Probably safe with that one. Duluth Trading Company learned a lesson with their "Don a Henley and take it easy" campaign.

I never heard that one! Probably short lived?
Reminds me of when I worked at Disneyland.in Entertainment Costuming. My friend Omar used to help me preset the costumes . The Street Car Newsboys in Disney California Adventure wore henleys . Everytime we'd come to one, Omar would sing "Dirty Laundry" :laugh:

That's funny!

Here's a link to the resolution of the kerfluffle:

An outdoor clothing retailer known for its irreverent approach has apologized to Eagles singer Don Henley and made a charitable donation to resolve a California lawsuit over its use of his name for an upscale T-shirt.

An advertisement featuring the slogan “Don a Henley and Take It Easy,” riffing on the title of an early hit by the band, “was inappropriate,” says Duluth Trading Co. on its website. “For that we are deeply regretful and we apologize, not just to Mr. Henley, but to anyone else who took offense. We have learned a valuable lesson and thank Mr. Henley for helping us appreciate the importance that he and other artists place in their publicity rights.”


Henley has tradmarked his name and routinely refuses to allow his persona or music to be used for commercial purposes, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune.


Scribd provides a copy of the complaint, which was filed last year by Loeb & Loeb on Henley’s behalf against the Wisconsin-based clothier in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Exhibits include an image of the offending ad for the shirt.


It isn’t known how much Duluth Trading Co donated to Walden Woods Project to settle the suit. The settlement also includes an agreed permanent injunction that bars the company from using Henley’s name, the Hollywood Reporter notes.

Coinkidinkaly, just the second after I replied to your post, "Dirty Laundry" came on the radio station I was listening to!! Seriously! Weird or what??? :smile:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

You're on a roll, MJ!

[NightMistBlue]

If you've ever had an MRI, you'll know the machine is very noisy so they give you headphones and let you listen to music. "All Night Long" by Joe Walsh played while I was getting an MRI yesterday. You're supposed to keep perfectly still, which was a challenge as this is a toe-tapper. And! On the way to my appointment, a Meisner Electric truck passed me by.

NMB - Hope everything is ok ! I agree it is hard to stay still when they play songs like that.

[NightMistBlue]

I’m well and on the mend, New Kid. Thank you for asking.

[LuvTim]

Cute story, NMB. But, my dear, I'm so glad you're ok! :hug:

[KingWalsh]

I would’ve had a hard time too being still NMB. Too funny. Glad you are ok. Meisner Electric...ha. Down the road from me is Walsh’s Country Store. They build sheds.

[NightMistBlue]

Cute story, NMB. But, my dear, I'm so glad you're ok! :hug:

I developed sciatica while working from home. It's getting better though. Today is my first day back in the office in 7 weeks! Such a long time.

Thanks for the good wishes, kind peeps! Let's hope we're all on the road to recovery: physically, economically, etc. etc.!

Hear! Hear!

Glad to hear you're feeling better, NMB.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - Glad you're on the mend, NMB. And I agree - If they want you to be still, they need to play some of that calming ocean music. :grin:

[MarthaJo56]

Look what I found at Sprout's!!! It's very yummy!!!
