Well Brooke, I guess you can't argue with a ... Oh nevermind - but, you know who that reminds me of! :thumbsup:Quote:

Oh boy... LOL :applause:Quote:

Someone's status on Facebook is "Playin' it cool...". Naturally now, I have to go play the TBS song :hilarious:
In the car today, I heard this song which reminded me of Glenn:
"Miami" by Will Smith - "Party in the city where the heat is on..."
and also "Already Gone" by Kelly Clarkson which reminds me of the Eagles for obvious reasons, lol.
Went to the "Valley" today and a big dually truck passed us with the personal plate ROCKYMT. Reminded me of Rocky Mountain Way and that reminded my of Joe Walsh and Eagles.
I was reading an article this morning and it said remember when you didn't have a care in the world. Of course, it immediately reminded me of The End of the Innocence. Then, I read on a little further and it mentioned waking up in a cold sweat, which reminded me of All Those Lies. I thought "Hmmm - this person must be an Eagles fan. :thumbsup:
I recently watched an old Saturday Night Live skit - the "Choppin' broccoli" Dana Carvey skit - where the music A&R people call someone named "Irving." That made me think of Azoff, which made me think of the Eagles.
I watched the movie Law Abiding Citizen yesterday. In one scene, there was a van that said "Double Eagle Steak House" on the side. We don't have them over here in the UK, so it made me smile!
Mmmm, I enjoy a good steak every now and then. I would love to try one at the Double Eagle Steak House.Quote:

I would LOVE to be the winner if it was the Henley give away. :smile:
A few days ago I saw a sign for "Don's Auto Sales". It reminded me of this picture.

lol! That's great!
I passed a sign saying "NEW IN TOWN" by the side of the road the other day and of course at first glance my brain just inserted "KID" automatically. I had to do a double take before realizing it wasn't there.
I was out with my niece Christmas shopping yesterday, and one of the stores had a sign in the window that said "25% off of all of our cultural junk". I laughed, and of course, started singing Long Road Out of Eden to myself. Yeah - pretty pathetic, huh? :lol:
I was looking through the pay-per-view movies this morning and they had one called Boys of Summerville.
Not at all pathetic Dreamer.....isn't that what we'd all do!? :hilarious: :hilarious:Quote:

While driving around in Springfiled, MO this weekend I saw a sign that said "Don Henney" in concert. Of course, I did a double take thinking it said Don Henley and was quickly thinking to myself, oh, great, he's coming back to Springfield solo, soon! I told my husband and he just shook his head. lol
Received an early Christmas present from one of my nieces of a game called Rock and Roll Triviologies. Kind of flipping through the cards just now and found one of what I hope are many questions about the Eagles. "This singer/songwriter (not a band member) co-wrote The Eagles' first big hit 'Take It Easy' with Glenn Frey in 1972". :bye: ooh, I know, I know!!! :hilarious:
ETA--Next card had this one, "In 1985, Don Henley won a Grammy for a song that mentions empty beaches and Cadillac cars with Dead Head stickers. What song was it? :headscratch: Gee....I have a feeling I'm gonna do ok with this game. :thumbsup:
I was just watching an episode of Miami Ink. A young guy was getting a tattoo of an eagle, which was dedicated to his dad. He said "My dad always had eagles in the house, you know, posters of eagles everywhere..." I couldn't help but smile. I'm sure many of us can relate to that! :nod:
So true! In fact, Troub, you and Peek should really relate to this next one...
Tonight a show came on about meteorites and how it's possible one could hit Earth and destroy civilization - fun stuff like that, lol. The narrator states in a menacing voice that "A devastating meteor of just this type exploded approximately 50,000 years ago in the area of what is now Winslow, Arizona!"

I was flicking through the TV channels today and saw that there was a drama on called Winslow Boy!
I was in Barnes & Noble yesterday to exchange my spare copy of the Eagles new book and was browsing around the bargain books and saw a book about how to play bass. I couldn't help but instantly think I bet Timothy didn't have to read a book like that to learn to do what he does so well. http://bestsmileys.com/music1/17.gif
Nah - he was born talented! :pimp:
I'm reading Cormac McCarthy's "The Border Trilogy" at the moment.
Listening to The Bridge channel on Sirius and they are playing Make You Feel My Love by Bob Dylan----guess which Eagle that made me think of? And I have to say, I really like Timothy's version better than Bob's even tho it was originally Bob's.
As soon as it was over, they played a commercial for the station and played a snippet of the Eagles also. :thumbsup:
Me too!Quote:

I was just flipping channels and came across one of those 'odd one out' panel game shows.....the panelist had picked the right guy and when asked how she knew she said "I could tell by his Lyin' Eyes" :thumbsup:
Thanks to Timothy I think of him every time I hear the song Tempted by Squeeze. Does Tim still do that little bit during Eagles concerts? I know he did it in 2008 and 2009 but I can't remember if he did it during this last year. I've always liked his short little version of that song.
He did it at our San Jose show this year! Don was bopping along to it, and it was super-cute. :nod:

Like all the best people. :yay:Quote:

Ah, now I remember. Don was really cute during that part. When Tim stopped playing that little version didn't Don do a little shoulder shrug of sorts as if he wanted Tim to keep on playing?Quote:

One of my service users told me today that he had "an Eagles t-shirt". (He gets very confused about all sorts, but he has always remembered that I am a fan of theirs.) He brought the t-shirt up to show me. It wasn't an official Eagles t-shirt, but it said "Eagles" and "California" on it, so one can understand why he would have thought it was affiliated with the band. Either way, I told him I loved it!
I was watching an episode of What Not To Wear and the woman who was made over was from Nashville. At the end, where she shows her new look to her friends and family, it showed her walking into a place called the Sunset Grill.
Hmm, there's one in Nashville? I'll have to check it out!
ETA: Found it online. Looks like it's completely unrelated to the one in LA. In fact, it looks pretty nice!

Still reading Life by Keith Richards and keep getting constant reminders of the Eagles. He's talked about Gram Parsons and the Burritos, Waddy, Joe Vitale, Joe Walsh, the Troubador and so on.
