Raisin' em right, EK! :thumbsup:
Well I went in a deli sandwich shop for lunch today and was very pleasantly surprised when Meadow's started playing. I don't think I ever remember hearing that played before. :yay: Joe!!!
And nice job with the 6 year old, EK! :thumbsup:
I was shopping in a dress shop last night and Part of Me, Part of You started playing. It made the trying on part much better!
"Desperado" was sung by one of the contestants on XFactor the other night. They mentioned that they had just gotten approval by the writers to use the song. I guess Simon gave them a call! A young girl Melanie sang it & it was pretty good, but not as great as the original!!
They're lucky they got that approval knowing how Don Henley feels about shows like X Factor.
Heard Rocky Mountain Way on the radio today. Seems like I'm hearing lots of Eagles and solo songs on the radio lately! :)
I am presently watching the first season of "Brothers and Sisters" and on one of the episode tonight I heard "Heart of the matter" sung by a girl...I'll have to look it up and see who she is...did a great job...
Long Road out of Eden got me through a nasty plane flight last night. I hate flying anyway because I get airsick and I had to fly from Baltimore home to NH in a raging storm. I plugged in the iPod, breathed, closed my eyes and hung onto every note and harmony so it could carry me through the ups and downs of the flight.
A couple of high points - going over a "wave" just as the line about the top of the ferris wheel played in "Waiting in the Weeds", and Joe's solo on "Long Road out of Eden" playing during the final approach to Manchester. The plane was lurching and pitching and it just fit the intensity of the solo. I felt like a fighter pilot, and best of all, I didn't get sick!
That's pretty wild - bucking the airstream to the strains of Joe's LROOE guitar solo! That's intense alright!
It's funny how music can affect the way we even carry ourselves sometimes. When I came out of the Little Rock airport last weekend and realized it was pouring down rain and I had not brought a raincoat or umbrella, I started feeling kind of sorry for myself. Then, "Victim of Love" came on my iPod right as I started walking to the car, and I found myself straightening up and walking with purpose to that strong beat. It made me feel kind of bada$$, truth be told! Before I knew it, I was splashing through that flooded parking lot with a grin on my face, thinking 'What's a little rain to a tough girl like me?' ;)
Love both of those stories, WE and Soda.
And so very true about the power of music!!!
Absolutely Dreamer.
Great stories Soda and WE. I too often put on some uplifting music when I'm tired or sluggish!
I was shopping in Michael's Crafts the othe day & Please Come Home For Christmas started playing. It sure put me in the Christmas mood!
I heard the original version of that song for the very first time the other day. It was cool to be able to compare it with the Eagles version. They were pretty true to the original song, though of course I like our boys' version better. :)Quote:

Sometimes it gets to much for me and so will either but on an Eagles album or one of Don's albums. Everyone in the company knows to leave me alone if they walk up and I have my ear plugs on. It just calms me down so much and I can feel my blood pressure dropping. Sometimes it is so bad that someone will walk up and tell me to put Don on :-). I don't know what I would do without their music, or should I say I don't know what my team would do without their music :hilarious:
I got a new phone Friday and it came with a built in fm radio. I was testing the radio this morning and the first song I heard was Heartache Tonight :)
Heard Please Come Home For Christmas on the radio at breakfast!:grooving:
Yesterday I was driving to pick up lunch and I was listening to Don sing One of These Nights. I paused the song so I could go in and pick up my lunch. When I went into the place none other than One of These Nights started playing on the radio. It was one of the few times I wasn't to concerned about the long line. :-)
I detest dentist offices and everything about them. But Please Come Home for Christmas came on and I was a happy camper!
Thats cool!Quote:

The Seger song was Fire Lake, and since it was the live version, it wasn't our guys on the background vocals, but I could pretend. Then I switched to Classic Vinyl and they were talking about the Jazz Festival in N.O. and who all would be playing it, including the Eagles. Then they played the Eagles. All in less than 45 minutes.
Now - that's what I call a good day! :headbang:
Yesterday I heard in the car on the way to the school christmas party, The Heat is On at the radio!
I heard Heartache Tonight on the radio, and the following song was Leather And Lace :thumbsup:
Today at my family Christmas party, Please Come Home For Christmas came on the radio.
I heard "Last Worthless Evening" in the car yesterday driving my dad to Chic-Fil-A to meet the kiddies for lunch. I couldn't help but sing along!
I heard "Long Road Out of Eden" coming out of my husband's man-cave yesterday! I was in the bedroom next door, very quietly smiling to myself.
I heard I Don't Want To Hear Any More while at the grocery store an hour or so ago.
Ok. This isn't exactly an Eagles or Solo song just yet. But it's worth mentioning.
I was in HMV earlier and I heard Caroline No playing as the background music. It brought me straight back to the theatre in Niagara Falls! Sounded very like Glenn :heart:'s version too.
I heard 'How Long' while I was getting my lunch in Subway on Saturday. Made my meal that much more enjoyable!
Boys of Summer was playing on the neighbour's radio. (Drowned out the arguing - for once!).
In honor of 2012, my husband decided to put together an "Armageddon" playlist (yeah, he's a little odd that way). On a whim, I suggested Glenn's "Brave New World." He liked it! I was surprised.
Our turntable and vinyl collection are downstairs in what Hubby likes to call "the man cave" and the other day while he was down there and I was upstairs I heard King of Hollywood. Sorry, I still don't like it very much, but had to smile as it played, knowing I would share it here!
Lucky you, PM - as you know, I love King of Hollywood. But I got a treat of my own yesterday. I met my boss for lunch and while we were in the restaurant, New Kid In Town started playing. I guess the look of delight reminded my boss about what a big Eagles fan I am. We spent the next 10 minutes or so talking about some of my excellent Eagles adventures, so, all-in-all, a very good lunch I'd say! :thumbsup:
Yesterday, I was in the car going to the grocery store with my mom. I noticed she had her LROOE CD in her car and that the first disc was missing. I asked her where it was, and she said "In the CD player." So we proceeded to jam out to How Long on the way to the grocery store. :-)
Your mother has excellent taste in music, Tori. You're very lucky. Some mother's would torture you with really bad '70's or 80's pop songs. I'd rather hear the wind!
The other night I watched "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". They had a band at a HS dance playing an Eagles song, I think it was Life in the Fast Lane, & they played Timothy's song, So Much in Love. Also there is a Jackson Browne song in the movie, Somebody's Baby. Fun memories from the crazy 80's!
This morning as I pulled out of the driveway to go to the office (I usually work at home, so having to go in was unexpected all by itself), SiriusXM played Witchy Woman. Then followed it up with Seger's Ramblin' Gamblin' Man (with Glenn singing background)! Then as I pulled into the drive way this evening, they played LITFL.
This morning I started the car to come to work and Dirty Laundry was playing. When it ended the dj came on and said "I wonder if Don Henley is a Tide man or goes for the Oxyclean?! Don Henley airing his Dirty Laundry!" :lol:
I was in a store today and I heard Rose of Cimarron. Now, it may not be Eagles, so I started to put this in another thread, but I thought what the heck ... it's close enough for me! :grin:
I forgot to mention this the other day but seeing this thread pop up it reminded me - the other day when I was getting my blood drawn, Hotel California came on the sound system at the lab. Kind of brightened my day and definitely got my mind off of the test. I actually don't hear it often on the radio. I hear Already Gone, The Long Run, and Take It Easy a lot more, but I'm not complaining. I really love those too, especially AG.
