I'm not a huge Henley fan, but I actually might agree with him on a few things such as if someone is profiting from music that he owns. That being said, I do find him somewhat egotistical and 'fuddy duddy' (for lack of a better term).
But do you know what I find even more appalling? When adults resort to sending horrible and nasty PM's to people because they don't agree with another's views or stances.
Lame.
If someone sends you a PM that is offensive or is harassing you, please forward it to me so I can deal with it. That's unacceptable.
However, if someone sends you a message that simply pisses you off, please don't bring up such PM feuds with other members in the public threads on the board. They're called "private messages" for a reason. Reply privately or, if it's harassment, report it to me so I can put a stop to it.
It wasn't mine to report, but was shown to me so I have NO rights to 'deal with it'.
Sounds like private, nasty messages are encouraged? How about people just NOT send private, nasty messages and instead, discuss and debate topics like civilized adults. I would like to think that I could voice my opinions, no matter how differing, and not be subjected to PM's from others, calling me names and berating my choices. What kind of person does that?

In case you don't want to click on the link, I'll write it out here, the site says
'Take Personal Issues Off the Forums. Internet forums and message boards are for public discussions which bear relevance to more than a few people. If you have a personal issue with someone else, take it off the forums. If the message board offers a private message function, use it. If not, exchange e-mail addresses and continue the discussion in private.'
Hey, I think you may be on to something here, who would have guessed sodascouts wants all her members to fight each other and send nasty PMs to each other, her secret agenda is revealed. Think of all the ways she could benefit from doing that, your accusation makes perfect sense. You're BUSTED sodascouts!Quote:

Thanks, Dreamer! I know that I for one would be bitterly disappointed in Don if he compromised on what's right for the sake of appearing 'cool' to his fans. As I said before, his execution may not always be what we'd like it to be, but I give him a lot of credit for his intent. The right road is seldom the easy road. I've actually been thinking about this quite a bit lately...not this issue per se, but the work and strength it sometimes takes to stand up for what's right, but I guess the details of that belong in the 'life' thread. I will say it's been a rough week.Quote:

ITA with her post too. I'd quote it again but I don't know how to double quote. :(Quote:

clips of Don on Just Shoot Me:

Thanks T&H!
So Nina Van Horn was shacking up with Joe, and single handedly broke up the Eagles! That explains all the stress and arguing going on! Lol!
haha yeah I had never seen that before...it's pretty funny!
Anyone have Don's appearance on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher? I was looking at Don's IMDB page and was surprised that he was on that show. I'd love to see it if someone had it saved somewhere!
Those Just Shoot Me clips crack me up everytime.
And kt - I don't remember ever seeing Don's appearance on Politically Incorrect, but, to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if he did appear on the show. I'll bet between Bill Maher and Don that the sarcasm was a thing of beauty. :thumbsup:
That's what makes me want to see it if it exists! Just how far would Don let his composure slip in that kind of setting, with Bill Maher egging the situation on!Quote:

This is a totally unrelated tidbit to Henley, but, when I lived in Los Angeles one of my roommate's was Wendie Malick's (Nina Van Horn) sister-in-law. She actually was never married to Wendie's brother but they had a child together who lived with us on the weekends and who absolutely adored me and vice-versa. I have tons of pics of the niece in my FB photo albums. I met Wendie a couple of times, once at her home because she threw her niece a birthday party and on another time when she got us tickets for the taping of her new show "Hot In Cleveland". I got to meet Betty White, Valerie Bertinelli and Jane Leeves when we went. The brother, Scott, asked me out on a date but considering that I was living with his ex-girlfriend, that felt kind of weird so I declined. He was actually really nice and my roommate was a total nutjob!! I did go out with him for a bottle of wine the last night I was in town before moving back to NC and I've kept up with him a little bit, since. He invited me to some skiing trip in NY a couple of years ago but that was when I first was diagnosed with colitis. Perhaps I should seek him out again.... :hmm:Quote:

Did anyone ever find the Maher clips with Don? That's something I would definitely be interested in seeing!
can't find Politically Incorrect...
found this silly thing during my search though...I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion...even if it's wrong :nahnah:
http://youtu.be/eEet3RwQnaY
Don't know of anywhere to view episodes of Politically Incorrect online and the one in question was among the first: Episode #6. Untitled -Don Henley; Malcolm McDowell; Lynn Snowden; John Ehrlichman. Original Air Date 01-13-1997.
Henley and Maher together would have been a lively discussion but can you imagine having John Ehrlichman thrown into the mix!?! Now THAT would have been a really interesting view!
FOOTNOTE: While there are a multitude of PI episodes/clips available online, the Henley/Ehrlichman episode is conspicuously absent. Makes you wonder what, if anything, Don has had to do with the 'omission'.
Don didn't really talk much during the show, I've been told, so probably not Don's fault the show is in limbo land.
well I guess this is being asked at Eagles Fastlane as well

from the clip doesn't sound like Don got a chance to clearly get a word in haha

That's better than nothing, thanks. At least he looks good. :lol:
AMEN, HD!
I found an article about the woman who, back in 1984, played the teenage girl in the "Boys of Summer" video. She didn't get to work with Don directly, but I still found it interesting.

I think it is so wonderful that he still supports his hometown. So sweet and generous!
ITA, HB.
And that was fun reading about the girl in the BOS video albeit it would've been more interesting if she had some stories of Don to share! :thumbsup:
He's been there in the past, HB. I wonder if he attends regularly?
Hmmm I don't know Soda. I didn't know if he attends or just supports them financially. Either way I might have to consider a road trip!
This is very cool, I love stuff like this. I went a little deeper into his blog, and he says this:Quote:

I'd go if we knew he would be there. How can we find out??Quote:

He was going to form a soft-rock supergroup with Sting and Don Henley: Joel couldn’t think of “another guitar player, I don’t remember who it was” who would join the band. But, he left open the possibility for a new group because he explains, “I liked being in a band. Someday we might put together a silly super group.”
Now THAT would be very interesting!!!
What would the setlist possibly look like?!Quote:

That's interesting! I just can't imagine them together in a band, but it would be awesome! Who would sing lead? I guess they could all have a chance at it!
Was this like in the 80s or something?Quote:

I didn't hear the actual interview but I suspect that idea was from a while back. Would be very interesting!
