That's one of the best versions of that song ever; Don's vocal is brilliant. Sounds like it was recorded live but I don't know where or when. Good stuff.Quote:

My two sisters and I had a 'sisters' weekend down at my sister's place on the Chesapeake Bay. (I always love going down there because you have to go through a town named 'Glenns" to get there. Anyway, on Saturday night, we went to watch a band -their opening number was Take It Easy. I immediately thought of Glenn's F1 quote, 'It's going to be a good night, ladies and gentlemen'. :thumbsup:
Yesterday, on my way back to the reunion, the local radio station plays a program called Flashback. It program that plays classic rock songs on a certain theme. This particular broadcast was songs about school. They played Johnny can't Read! :shock:. I don't ever remember hearing that song on the radio before!
Just recently, Deep Tracks played TBS singing a cover of CSN&Y's "Carry On" from the soundtrack of "Steal This Movie." Really beautiful.:inlove:
I have Sirius XM in my SUV. One of the channels is "The Bridge," because it features soft rock and crossover hits. The DJ played "Old '55" which isn't a song normally heard on popular radio.
I caught my husband singing the "ooh-ooh-a-a" part of "The Heat is On" this morning. I doubt he even knew what he was singing but it was certainly recognisable and I know he heard the song over the weekend. As you don't know him, you won't realise just how unexpected this was. He's more a Rush, Van Halen, Bon Jovi type.
Well UTW - that's a great 'gotcha' moment if there ever was one. But it's no wonder - that song is just so catchy that it can get stuck in a person's head and stay there for days. :thumbsup:
My mom listens to a "soft rock" station. I personally don't like the station because I don't like 90% of what it plays. About 2 hours ago, my mom comes into my room yelling "Eagles". The station was playing Lyin Eyes! She had to tell me because I "worship the ground the walk on". And 5 minutes ago, they played Boys of Summer. In the years my mom has listened to that station, I've never heard them play the Eagles or their solo stuff!
It's now gone back to it's normal format, unfortunately.
At, I got the funniest mental picture of someone's mom doing what you've described--made me chuckle out loud. Too funny. :hilarious:Quote:

I'm really digging the Sirius XM channel, "The Bridge." They played TALA yesterday, which I think is the first time I've ever heard it on popular radio.
I was in Rite Aid this afternoon and You Belong To The City started to play.
The last two times I was in Wendy's I heardBest Of My Love.
Standing in line at a Safeway in Marin County and practically levitated when I heard the dulcet strains of our Eagles doing "How Long." Maybe it was a cosmic commentary on how frickin' long I'd wait in line - my ice cream partially melted, that's how long...
A few weeks ago, I talked about a "soft rock" station that my mom listens to. Well, my mom is listening to it tonight in the living room and I come in there to eat a bowl of cereal. I'm not really paying attention to the radio (90% of what the station plays I don't like). Well, I just happen to hear a bit of the middle of a song, and I think "hmm this sounds familiar". Then I hear a lady singing the chorus of The Heart of the Matter. :shock:. I have no clue who the lady was, though.
NMB, that's too bad about your ice cream, but it's so funny, too, the way you tell it.:hilarious:Quote:

I was watching a movie called Spy Game that starred Robert Redford and Brad Pritt. As they were rolling the end credits, Rocky Mountain Way started to play. They do play the whole song.
I've just read that Joe's Life Of Illusion was included in an Adam Sandler movie. Joe could release an album of Movie Soundtrack tunes.
Just watched the premiere of "American Horror Story: Hotel," and the song that played before the end credits was HC. Given the storyline is about a haunted hotel, I guess it's not that far fetched the song was included in the soundtrack.
I was surprised to hear Hotel California at the end of American Horror Story--Hotel. The first episode of this season was a little too creepy and weird for me.....
Interesting that the guys would agree to use the song in a horror show. Oh well - I guess I can't judge without seeing it. :grin:
Well - as I mentioned in other threads, one of my niece's got married yesterday and, with no intervention from me, there were a few Eagles songs that made the set list for the reception. Of course, there was Take It Easy and Hotel California. But, Life's Been Good and Lyin' Eyes, which is her favorite Eagles song, made the cut as well. I guess we musta done something right raising that girl! :rockon:
Lyin' Eyes! That's more of a divorce court song isn't it. Not dedicated to a future ex., Plaintiff! I hope :DQuote:

Thanks for the well wishes, F50. The wedding was wonderful and uniquely theirs - and they are a very lovely couple. I agree Lyin' Eyes sure isn't much of a wedding song, but I guess she just went with some songs that were favorites - there were a few other odd choices as well, but it's all good. Overall, the music was very enjoyable and she made great choices for the songs that really count. :thumbsup:
Congrats to your niece and her new husband, Dreamer. May they have many years of happiness together! Despite the songs not being your typical wedding songs, I'm sure that they helped make the wedding even more unique. :)
Dreamer, let me congratulate your niece and her new husband as well! (I saw some pics on Fb-gorgeous girl and wedding!) At weddings I've been to most anything is played after the dedicated dances, so if they had some Eagles songs that would have made it all the better for me!
Dreamer, congrats to your niece and her new hubby! May they live a long and happy life together. :smile:
At one point on Sirius XM radio today, Eagles' songs were playing simultaneously on 3 stations: Classic Vinyl, '70s on 7, and The Bridge. I was flipping the buttons back and forth to catch them all!
Thanks for the well wishes for my niece and new nephew everyone. They are a lovely well-grounded couple and I have nothing but high hopes for them.
And after the wedding last weekend, this weekend was followed up with my high school class reunion. Honestly, I was so busy yapping with my old classmates yesterday that I wasn't paying that close attention to the music. However, a classmate that is aware of my Eagles fandom (at least somewhat) did point out when Take It Easy started playing. I hope no others escaped me. :blush:
That happens to me from time to time too, NOLA! :smile:Quote:

At the beginning of the film, "Vertical Limit," Chris O'Donnell and Robin Tunney talk about TITTL while climbing a cliff. Tunney actually sings the intro.
My uncle me yesterday morning. He was in Walmart, and the PA system was playing The Heart of the Matter. He put the phone on speakerphone so that I could hear it. It sounded very different over the phone, lol.
I'm watching the Atlanta Falcons/ Tennessee Titans game. As it went to commercial, they played the middle instrumental part of Life In the Fast Lane. :shock:. Nice surprise!
I was in Dundrum Shopping Centre today (The other Irish Borderers may be famiiar with it). I went into the lobby where the ATMs are to withdraw some cash. 'Desperado' was playing on the sound system. I was kinda humming /mouthing along to it as I withdrew my money. Then I looked over at the other ATM and the guy taking out his money was singing it softly to himself too! (And I'd say he was half my age!!)
I'm on vacation. So I decided to go shopping. As I walked into the store, Take A Picture of This was playing on the radio. That was my first time hearing it on the radio.
Just a pity it wasn't one of the actual 'Desperado's' singing beside you :grin:Quote:

I can't believe it! on crappy BBC daytime tv show Homes Under The Hammer, that has probably remained in the schedules for years, purely on the strength of the great music they play, they included a snippet of Glenn's Somebody Else. I wasn't paying enough attention to understand the relevance. It's not a song you'd easily associate with property auctions. :smile:
Crumbs! I sometimes watch that at the gym and it's the last place I'd expect to hear Glenn.
Wow! I hate the way they use music in that show. I bet it was about renting a place out or that they were renovating it for 'somebody else'. Dave Gorman did a great rant about the show's music in his most recent Modern Life Is Goodish series.Quote:
