Don in the Press/Blogs/etc.

Thanks for that link, VA. Always good to hear about the respect that other artist have for our guys!

Particularly nice to see Don given credit for his drumming skills. :)

totally agree:drummer::heart:

I agree too, but given that the vast majority of Don's drumming has been with the Eagles I wonder which sessions Leland Sklar is talking about.

I wondered the same thing!

That was a great read - thanks! I love Lee Sklar and it was lovely to read a few of his comments about some of my favourite musicians.

I know he played bass on the 'I Can't Stand Still' album, which may be when he gained the most experience of listening to, and playing with, Don in the studio.

I was browsing this site for info that Topkat posted about Joe, and I happened upon this. I don't recall this being posted before. Although there's not really anything here that us hardcores don't already know, I thought the title and list were pretty amusing ...

I don't think this has been posted. There are some fantastic clips in the sidelines. Love that one of Don doing "The Times They Are A Changin'" I've never seen that before! Pretty Hot!

I saw DOn do" Everyone wants to rule the world " live and it wa hot.
Wish he would record that song .
Talent it talent and he is talented
tt

Thanks for that, Dreamer! I agree with you, TT, that he does a great cover of Everybody Wants To Rule The World.

I LOVE his country side and can't wait to hear this new album! I heard him do a husky, slow, live version of Too Far Gone once (an audio recording) and OMG - one of the sexiest, most heartbreaking things I have ever heard! He did a cute intro, too, insinuating that some people in the audience were indeed, too far gone... :lol:

I"m just saying it was a great cover job well done.
He is a talented guy drumming, singing , writing , performing..he has it all covered.
We saw him do that a long time ago and it still sticks in my mind..it was that good:thumbsup:

On a more positive note than my previous post, I found a lot of other aspects of the article interesting as well.

When Don is talking about the lame habit some people have of chatting on cell phones or texting during concerts, he says that they are so addicted to their devices that "We’re terminally distracted." I thought: sounds like a great song lyric! lol

He says analog sounds "warmer" - you know, I'd never thought of comparing analog with digital when it's in the same format (both CDs as opposed to one being CD and one vinyl, for instance.) I'll have to investigate that, and not be so quick to discount it as nostalgia talking. It's cool he's away of Joe's album, too!

I always love it when he talks about fan responses to "Heart of the Matter." That song is so amazing - it was that song that made me truly a fan of Don Henley's music. I mean, I loved "Boys of Summer," but "Heart of the Matter" has incredible emotional power.

As others have commented, I love that he sums up his career as "Longer and better than I ever imagined. I am amazed and grateful every day."

---

OOH..SOda,
I love that quote from Don. Sounds like a man who is talented and grateful and I am glad.

ALso agree with you about" The heart of the matter".
One of my fav Don songs.
SUch a talented guy.

Greatful are we that he chose to share the talent that God gave him with the world..it makes it a beter place .

A little blurb about Don... All I can say is that he'd have even more money if he'd ever release his new album and go on tour for it. Not that I'm nagging or anything.

And Mick Fleetwood all the way down at #30?

It does mention "net worth" - do they mean what's left after they've partied up/donated to charity/paid of ex-wives etc...? :hilarious:

I'm surprised Mick Fleetwood is even on there at all. His investments are so poor that at one point, he actually had to file for bankruptcy. Plus, he gets no songwriting credits (with the exception of "The Chain") that would garner him royalties, and he can hardly tour solo to get revenue from live shows. When Fleetwood Mac doesn't tour, his income level is severely affected. Lucky for him, they're hitting the road again in 2013.

Here's an article that rates the richest drummers. Don Henley might not be Ringo Starr, but he's close!

http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=754433

I really want to know how Steven Adler is worth $15 million. I mean, he must have spent most of his money on drugs.
Some of the people on this list really shocked me.
I wonder where they get this kind of information on how much money everyone has....Just curious

I think you are right, EK. I would think Don would be worth more than David Grohl too, but he must spend more money than David does. lol

I would have also thought that Charlie Watts would have been higher on the list, but I he must spend a lot of money too.

How would they have any idea how much money they spend? That seems impossible.
They must figure this in terms of property they own and how much they make on touring & other money they make from projects. They can't know how much they spend.

Ok...I was always a gal who a guy with tight jeans and a guitar would turn my head.....but DH , Scott Crago ,Ringo and John PArrish (drummer for ewf) are my fav drummers.There is something to be said about drummers.....and who knew they made so much $$$$$?????

You're absolutely right, TK. Which I guess makes these lists a bit ridiculous.

I'll concede that some information is either publicly known (e.g. Soda commented that Mick Fleetwood's investments were a disaster... or some divorce payouts which get a lot of publicity); or the information can be reasonably calculated (song writing royalties perhaps? possibly tour revenue?). Maybe even some donations are known (e.g. Don's contributions to Walden Woods & the Caddo Lake Institute)... but surely even celebrities get to keep SOME information on their finances private??

As I mentioned in the last post I put in Glenn's thread, assuming 'etc' can mean Tweets about our guys, here's two that came up in my search. John Rich is half of the country band Big & Rich, one of the few more recent country acts that I truly like and own some of their music. Apparently, someone chastised Mr. Rich for his language.

Big & Rich...Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy right? are they still together? I kind of like them...I think it's cute how John Rich reacted!!..I'd probably say more than Holy Shit!!!..probably a huge thrill and honor for him..

Love John Rich. I know he Tweets like crazy! Love that. How cool that he met Don at the airport!!!...Sure wish our guys tweeted a bit more. I know Joe & Timothy tweet, but TBS hardly tweets at all. Joe does a bit more, but Don & Glenn???? I think that will be happening...NEVER.. LOL :brickwall:

Wow! I'm sure JR was probably flabbergasted! I've seen them recently on CMT doing a new song, 'That's Why I Pray'. Great song!

Glenn doesn't even have an iPod. All he does is text.

On a flip-phone! I thought my husband had the last one on the planet. Nope. Glenn's got one too!

I miss my flip phone! I loved my Razor

I did, too! It fit in my hand just perfectly! I paid more in replacement batteries than I did for the phone. Now I have a Droid Razr (Maxx) and while I love that I can do so much with it, I miss the convenience of the old Razr. Of course, I couldn't see the CallerID without reading glasses, so I can't go back :grin:

I think I had my Razor for about 5 years & the battery never even died, but I finally gave it up too when I switched providers.

Yeah, if Glenn didn't take up tweeting to promote After Hours as Joe did for Analog Man, I doubt he ever will. As for Don.... well, he has an announcement on his website that he does NOT tweet (referenced here) so unless he has a change of heart... not happening.

I too love this tweet from Rich - very cute how he reacted!

I understand, sort of, why Don feels the way he does. Social media, like everything else, has its uses and abuses. If we were to shun every advance in communication because a few bad apples misused it or didn't have the sense to be careful about what they communicate, then the printing press would have lasted all of a few years and then where would we be?

I've gotten into a real rut. Only so many hours in a day, and my job sucks up a lot of my time and energy. I've found in the last few months that while I used to check email a couple times an hour, I'm down to a couple times a day. I never use the phone except for work-related things. I don't go to too many websites anymore. Anything I'm interested in comes through my Facebook newsfeed. The newspapers I read, the TV news I listen to. Of course every feed from the Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins. All my friends and family know if they want me to know something, they need to text or send a FB message or wallpost, or tell me in person (always a good option).

There are a lot of my friends like me. I guess what I'm saying is, if you want me to know you're putting out a new album, you better put it on FB. Of course, due to this message board, I do have other methods of finding out, like the Google alerts and Twitter searches. Other bands, well, if it's not on FB I don't know about it.

And there is my rant for the day. :grin:

I'm still new to FB but I think the more I get used to it the more likely it is that I will hear news there rather than on conventional websites.

Hey seems like that is three of our guys flyin around the country..

OOH ANd I am not on fb...dont really see the need for me to be.

Remember the reporter who irritated Don with trying to clarify the 'spirit' reference in HC? He's retiring. This is his final column, and it's actually a cute little article, with a Stevie reference in it as well.
