:fear: Geesh, sorry I brought it up! :hilarious:
Seriously tho, Dreamer, I'm glad to hear that you did research it and that it is correct. I knew the line from King Henry VI and I guess I always just assumed that was what Glenn/Don (or Don/Glenn) were referring to. I'm smarter than I thought and my literature teachers would all be glad to hear I did retain something! :nahnah:
TBF - first of all, please don't apologize for bringing up an interesting topic. It was several years ago when l looked it up, and I had forgotten which play the line is from until you mentioned it. As with many of the Eagles lyrics, the line may have more than one interpretation or meaning. The reason I researched it in the first place is because I originally had no idea what the line referred to.

Dreamer, Back to Shakespeare...Total Assumption on my part, and I apologize to Glenn (wish I could do so in person) if he indeed remembered his English Lit better than I did! I was in a rush this am, but it did cross my mind as I posted, "Gee, it sure sounds like a line Don would write!" , but I didn't stop to double check for co-writing...my bad! I'll always remember that Odd Couple episode when Felix and Oscar discuss that one should never assume...you make an 'arse' out of u and me! (Well, that's a bit harsh for this instance, but I just wanted to bring up that episode.)
This is very interesting.
Glenn used the line 'Brave New World' as the title of a song from Strange Weather. It is originally from Shakespeare's The Tempest but Aldous Huxley also used it as the title of a book. I have no idea where Glenn took the line. I do agree with Dreamer that just because there is a literary allusion in an Eagles lyric does not necessarily mean that Don wrote it. To me Get Over It is one of their 'real' collaborations both lyrically and musically. Glenn described them as sitting there throwing couplets back and forth.
Regardless, as a Shakespeare buff, this is one of my favourite Eagles lines ever. As for Brave New World, I think I might use my signature based on it next week....
When I had to go to the Apple Store at North Park a couple of weeks ago, I had to take the bus and it took me four long hours to get there. I hate the public transportation in Dallas. I found this sign at the train station.

There's also a Linden Street close to where I live.

Cool signs, SH! Kudos on having your camera handy!
ev - thanks for your clarification, and I'm sure if you set up a meeting and are real sweet to Glenn that he will forgive you. :wink: As a certified Eagles addict (see Eagles forum), I'd love to know who wrote every line in every song. I believe that both Don and Glenn are avid readers, so I'd bet that their lyrics are influenced quite a bit by things they read.Quote:

I'm sure you know who I thought of, but I don't know if he's ever relaxed or easy-going!

Henley in a henley! :nod:
I'm sure I could get Don to relax :twisted:
I think I love that catalog Brooke!
I checked out my email and received an email from a friend with the subject: Tequila sunrise a.s. zondag in Groningen. (means: Tequila sunrise this Sunday in Groningen) hahaha I immediately thought of the song.
Going to visit my parents we pass a road called 'Glendown Road'. Laura insists on calling it 'Glenndon Road!!'
In the shops the other day a mother had put her baby in his rock a tot on the counter while she paid for her groceries. he was a very cute little boy and sported a lovely blue blanket with the name Glenn on it. Looks like his mom has taste!!
Awe, his mom really has a good taste!
I was in Pier 1 today & Joni Mitchell's song "Help Me" started playing. It wasn't Joni's version but I came out of the store grinning, because we all know who that song is about :nahnah:.
I saw yesterday a preview for Desperate Housewives and I heard "dirty little secrets" guess off who I was thinking :blush:
Yes indeed! :wink:Quote:

I was just doing some work on my OTHER hobby/Obsession which is genealogical research and I was looking for Oregon pioneer burial sites when I cam across this...

Stopped me for a moment! *G* hmmm.. I wonder if I could find that mausoleum.... *G*
As I was putting some Data Input into the computer at work, I came upon the last name of Henley. Guess who I immediately thought of 8)
I finally got the chance to stop and take a picture of this street sign near my Aunt's house. Isn't it funny how something as small and simple as a street sign can put the biggest smile on your face?

That could also read 'ST Glenn' as in Saint Glenn!!
I came across a road today called 'Aspen Wood'. Now guess who that made me think about???
Saint Glenn? Wow, they're really easing up on the criteria nowadays... ;)
I walked into the office at work the other day to find the manager discussing the weekend he had planned in Henley (I still haven't been, but I often see the road sign and have an irrational urge to turn off the motorway.)
Also, one of the service users has taken to wearing his Dallas Cowboys jacket a lot, which always makes me think of '70s Don in his blue Cowboys jersey. Yum!
There's a whole line of sporting goods stores here that used to be called G.I. Joe's but they dropped the G.I. recently, now it's just called Joe's *G* I really like that place.
Also, my MIL wrapped one of my Xmas presents this year in a recycled box that had "GLENN'S" written on the side. I thought that was pretty thoughtful of him to let her use his box *G*
It really was!:hilarious:
I was browsing through a sports store today and they had a rack of street signs as pictured below - I think I had the wrong idea ;)

I think The Border is in Eagles Territory, no? :nod:
Eagles Territory. Love it!
LOL! I love it, Maleah!
I wonder if they'd print that one clothes? you know.. like T-shirts, hats, underware.. whatever..
Well, I do have a 'Property of (Philadelphia) Eagles' T shirt.
My mind is forever in 'Eagles Territory'!! As is yours Rhonda! When its not in 'Joes'!:thumbsup:
too true Lisa *G*
I saw someone wearing an oversized pair of Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses with a huge initial DG on them. Those initials mean only one (or two) things to me. :)
Today my friend Ralph took me out for an early birthday celebration. Every year he takes me out to some obscure place I have never even heard of! This year was no exception. He took me to a fairly new restaurant which overlooks a lovely golf course. So you know who I thought of right away!:) I even was imagining Glenn playing golf there, and then eating lunch in the restaurant afterwards. I have really got it BAD!:heart:
After the Eagles concert was over at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, I was trying to find my way to the exit and saw this sign.
