This picture of the American rock singer was taken after he was spotted performing with the band Eagles not so long ago
The person seems to be saying he's making a guest appearance with the Eagles.
This is part of a very well-written essay from a Salem columnist about saving ticket stubs, something I think all of us do here.
I loved that fact that she said Don Henley was her favorite concert experience. Oh, to have been close enough to "see the pills on his flannel shirt"!! (Bet it was plaid, too--natch!)
Beth O'Grady: My life in ticket stubs
[Here's an excerpt]
My most memorable concert experience was Don Henley at Harborlights in 2000. I was sitting in the “cheap seats” when a stranger asked me if I wanted an upgrade as her friend could not attend. And an upgrade it was — front row center so close to Don Henley I could see the pills on his flannel shirt.
Dang, that is one lucky girl! And I love her description of how close she was. Hmm, do you think he was wearing plaid? ;)
Thanks for posting, DF.
Sigh!

I got this today from an article about "summer" songs from a website called rushhourconcerts.org. It contains some interesting background info; I had never read that "rumored" quote about Don seeing Joe driving a Cadillac hearse with a Deadhead sticker on it. I actually have never read anywhere that Don was a "rabid" fan of Jerry Garcia either.

All I remember Don ever saying was that he saw a Cadillac with a Dead Head sticker. There was never any mention of Joe or a hearse. As for Don being a Grateful Dead fan I cannot picture it. It doesn't sound like him at all.
That was an interesting read - thanks for posting, DF!
I think some of his facts may be a bit off. I've never heard that Joe Walsh rumor either. Still, it's fun to read!
Don Henley in Winfield? That's what they say
By Shane Farley, Cowley County, Kansas September 24, 2009 - 12:17:59 pm
Was Don Henley – frontman for legendary rock band The Eagles – in Winfield for the Walnut Valley Festival? That's what we're hearing. Rex Flottman, spokesperson for the festival, said he has a pretty reliable source that tells him Henley was here and circulating at the festival, which wrapped up Sunday. But Flottman didn't actually meet Henley personally, so he can't vouch 100 percent. “I was upset about it,” Flottman said. “I'd have liked to at least gone up and shook the guy's hand. Back in high school that was a big musical influence for me. Don Henley and the Eagles.”
Jack Kellogg, owner of Wichita-based Hatman Jack's, has been at the festival for a number of years as a vendor. He said he believes Henley was here but wanted to keep a low profile and enjoy the atmosphere.
Kellogg didn't see Henley either but heard reports of The Eagles legend making the rounds through the vendor area in a ball cap. So, we have two sources with reliable information but not an actual sighting. But, we just don't know for sure. So, if you met Henley or snapped a photo of him, let NewsCow know. We'll make you Cowley County famous, for at least a few minutes.

I hope Don was there, having a little fun with his family at the festival.
(You gotta love a news outlet that calls itself "NewsCow." :laugh: )
