I took a few photos of the water tower when Soda and I were there last December. It is definitely very visible in "downtown" Linden. :) I love hearing how Don still supports his hometown. What a sweetheart, so generous!Quote:

I'm thinking about visiting Linden in October when I go on vacation. I'm taking an out of the way trip to Linden and then head to Missouri. Linden is only 4 and a half hours away from me. Heading to Linden and going another way will add 3 hours to my drive time.
I love the fact that Don loves his hometown and helps out with different things. A lot of stars forget where they come out. When they make it big, they would care less about their hometown.
That will be fun & it should be really nice weather in October shun. Let me know if you have any questions @ Linden. Not that I am an expert but I will be glad to share my experience there. Don't forget to visit the Dairy Queen!
BTW - JD Souther is having a show at the Music City Texas Theater in Linden on Sept. 12th. My best friend's son is getting married that day so I cannot go but I would love to see JD there!
Yes, Linden is a fun stop for Henley fans... the "fertilizer of his genius" as Glenn puts it.
Thanks HB. I will ask. This will probably be the only time I go that way. I know I was told at another board there's nothing there, but I knew that. Its just cool to see where Don came from. I was going to visit Dairy Queen anyway. I forgot what's in Dairy Queen. It was just a line from one of his songs right?Quote:

I remember reading an interview with Don and he talks about the Dairy Queen and hanging out there with his friends. They would sit on their cars in the parking lot and watch the trucks whiz by wondering where they were going. The Dairy Queen is at the intersection of Hwy 59 and I believe Kildare Rd. I remember Kildare because I loved the tv character Dr. Kildare. And I believe that is the road where Don's high school is located.
Thanks HB. I was goign to see Don's high school, Dairy Queen, the courthouse, Music City Theatre and maybe his grandparents house.
I'm not going to stay too long. I had to be in Missouri before 8:00pm because I have tickets to a show that night. I'm leaving Mississippi my usual, 5:00am and should be in Linden around 9:30am.
Have fun and report back shun!
"Don Henley to give the keynote at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville"

I'm perplexed that Don is chatting with peers like Bob Seger and Warren Zanes. Get hold of some instruments and play some music.
Ohh. Did you notice further down that it will be stream live? I'll be watching that on September 17th.
I will remind everybody on the 17th.

Thanks for keeping on top of this stuff guys! It is much appreciated.
Thanks shunlvswx, definitely worth mentioning.Quote:

I'm surprised he and Henley haven't worked together more. A dozen more like The Boys Of Summer and The Heart Of The Matter and it would rival the Henley Frey partnership!
Cool list! I've always felt that Mike Campbell is underrated and overshadowed by Tom Petty. (No offense to Tom, I love his music). Personally, #8, Running Down a Dream is my favorite. It's another one of those songs that I've loved since before I was double digits in age. All of the songs on the list are great!
I agree with that Don and Mike would've probably written some more amazing songs had they worked together more.
That's a pretty impressive Top 10 list alright! However, it should not come as a shock when I say that, while I really like the song Refugee, there is no way that it's a better song than The Boys of Summer, IMHO!
I think this is new news.
Don's listed on a huge bill, to appear at the Americana Awards, September 16 at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, hosted by Jim Lauderdale.
With the names listed on the Roster, this must be a TV show. It's going to be a marathon event or blink and you miss 'em show.
Only six awards categories is good news though. :thumbsup:

"The Americana Awards and Honors will be shown, in edited form, on November 21 on PBS' Austin City Limits."
Nice! So Don might shown ACL twice? I'm writing that date down. Let's hope that it won't be heavily edited.
Don will be at the 2015 Environmental Media Awards Official Invitation. He will be getting EMA Mission In Music Award. Go Don!!!

Congrats Don! Thanks for all you do to help the environment!
Don has an article in the Men's Journal. Nice article.

Nice article. Yes Don women do just want to talk about it a lot more. That's because men don't understand that women are always right!:brickwall::brickwall:Quote:

I tend to disagree that life is long. No, you may not get time to do it, so do it when you get the opportunity. Life is short! Jmo!
Most people and artists say life is too short. I find it interesting that Don thinks it's long.
Very interesting article. I like seeing(reading about) the philosophy side of Don. He sounds like an old(er) wise man in many ways.
I think that I'm too young to decide whether life is too short or too long or neither. Ask me again in 20 years.
I heard that the Americana Honors Awards was going to be live stream, but I couldn't find the link or website that would be doing this. This is probably the link of the webcast. I hate I will miss it because I'll be at bible study.

Wow, Don is out and about these days! You go, Don! :thumbsup:
Here's an item on Chris Holt that mentions Don and later, Joe and Timothy, very briefly.

It was a nice article on Chris Holt. I read a few months ago that he was hired to be in Don's band. I was going to post the article, but it slip my mind. :brickwall:
I saw a video of him singing. He's not bad and his guitar playing is not bad after watching Take a Picture Of This video.
Here's a nice article from the Wall Street Journal.

If I may just elect myself spokesman for the lurkers for a moment, shunlvswx.
On behalf of everyone, thank you very much for posting all the Henley links and updates. You're doing a great job. I hope your having a lot of fun. Golden time to be a Henley fan. :p
I heard on Sirius XM radio that Don will be on air tonight doing an interview. Bob Seger will also be there! I will try to find a link!
I know the interview with Bob is this Monday.
They said tonight on my radio......?Quote:

And that they might tour again as the eagles before they quit
The clip of him performing looked like he had steuart smith with him and
Scott crago
And Lance morrison who has toured with him before
Great interview
Thanks Celle. I didn't get a chance to see it, but I'm hoping it will be on the CBS website so I can watch it.
