You would have liked that, I believe. :hilarious: All I can say is I think Glenn could sing Follow You, Follow Me or even something like Throwing It All Away or Misunderstanding. All of which, of course, were sung by Phil Collins.Quote:

I was listening to the radio and they were talking about REM breaking up. Then they went on to talk about bands that people have no idea if they are together or broken up. So they played a game... first they would play a snippet of a song, then the caller had to say it that band was together or broken up.
They played a snippet of Hotel California (shocking song to pick, I know). The caller said, "they've broken up so many times and gotton back together. I'll say broken up". The DJ said, "well, they never really broke up, but they are together"
I'm sure nobody would be surprised to hear the next song they played a snippet of was Stairway to Heaven. :hilarious:
I was in the doctor's office (dermatologist) day before yesterday and I wore my Eagles LROOE t shirt. The nurse noticed it and commented that she loved the Eagles too and also Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. I asked her if she had been to any concerts and she said yes, several. Then she said her sister worked at Capitol Records in LA and that she had gotten her a cd autographed by Don Henley. I had to tell her I had gotten to meet him and get an autograph a few years ago and she thought that was cool. The doctor came in the room (very young guy) and hearing our conversation, asked how many of the originals were still with them. Of course I had to tell him! He said he wished they could pipe in some music to the rooms and they would play Eagles music for me as I waited! :thumbsup:
I totally would have broken into the lines ups of the band and the Dr would have wished he hadn't asked!:hilarious:
Well, that is wrong. They did break up. ONCE. And they reformed. ONCE. (that is despite all the 'broke up, got back together' stuff in FNY in the Millennium Show).Quote:

Yeah, I had to restrain myself and left it at that! :lol:Quote:

Today in chemistry class, we were just finishing up a math problem as a class, and my teacher said "Are you with me so far?" I just smiled and then got Life In The Fast Lane stuck in my head for the rest of the class period. :thumbsup:
Love it!
I was watching the comedy Reno 911 on Netflix and the perp was having a hard time understanding the cops who were asking for his "John Hancock." The guy repeated what sounded like "You want my Don Henley?" I immediately perked up and rewound, but - sadly - he was saying "John Henry." lol
Sounds like an honest mistake to me, Soda. I often think I hear Eagles related stuff but it always happens that I just misheard what was said. I guess I have Eagles on the brain more than I realize.
My brother told me that he let his daughter choose what to wear for school a few weeks ago (Natalie is 7 and in the second grade) and when she came out of her room she had on the Hotel California t-shirt I got her for Christmas last year. I was so proud of her when he told me that. :)
This one's a bit of a stretch but it was enough to give me a little reminder of Don from one of the Eagles concerts over the summer. It's a magnet.

This is the pic I was seeing in my head when I saw the magnet...

Neat, Jess!
I was watching a show a couple of days ago & the character said "What a nice surprise". Of course in my brain I automatically heard "Bring your alibis". LOL!
Not sure this counts, since it was about the Eagles, but this morning when I looked at my inbox there was an email from Amazon. The subject line didn't include the usual 'now available' or 'top picks'. It merely said 'Hell Freezes Over'. I can't imagine what someone who wasn't familiar with it would think, getting that email!
It's very rare I can contribute here but walking back home from my mother's place at 11.00 pm I saw a car licence plate which read 'WEEDZ'. How long was he waiting before he was granted the plate....
Another Eagles mention in school today. In history, we had to describe how culture changed America. I said that classic rock changed America and my history teacher asked me to name some bands. I said the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and then the Eagles. And then he proceeded to say, "I don't like Don Henley, though." Now, I'm a huge Don fan, so I said, "But he's my favorite!" And my teacher responded with, "He's a less cool version of Phil Collins. But in general, drummers who sing... I don't like them very much." I said again, "But Don Henley's my favorite! I love him!"
...So I guess my history teacher doesn't like Don. I think I died a little inside when he said that (:nahnah:)... but oh, well. Differing opinions and all. I still like him, though - he's a hilarious teacher. :P
First of all, Tori, your answer was brilliant. Music in general and rock music especially HAS changed American culture.Quote:

Ask yourself this: If he is so knowledgeable about music, how come he's teaching history??? :eyebrow:
That might be the first time that someone has ever been described as 'less cool' than poor unfashionable Phil. They are both very talented.
Tori, you could tell your teacher that amongst musicians, Don's probably provided some of the most intelligent and insightful commentary on both American culture and history in his song lyrics. :partytime: Be prepared to give examples, though! :hilarious:Quote:

That's one teacher that needs to be educated further about a certain singing drummer! ;)
Definitely! I'm thinking of walking into class on Monday listening to Boys of Summer on full blast on my iPod. :P
I was playing a classic rock trivia game and got two Eagles questions in a row. The first question was "Who replaced Randy Meisner in both the Eagles and Poco?" and the next question was "Which member of the Eagles sang Take It to the Limit?"
So I bet you got both of them wrong, huh wc! :lol:
Well how come I'm teaching Maths then? :wink:Quote:

I love your answer Tori and your defence of Don! Even if we don't agree with them, teachers love to see spirited students, able to defend their corner. That's the variety that makes up the world!
Laura is doing a project on Volcanoes. She was looming up information on the Internet (so much easier than the library trips we used have to make). Anyway, one of the explanations for a volcano started 'volcanoes result from a hole in the earth.....' etc. Of course we both immediately started singing 'HITW'
Very cute!Quote:

Willie - kudos to you! You sure are getting your family well-trained! :thumbsup:
Woke up this morning to Glenn singing Heartache Tonight! I had to snuggle under the covers till it was over! :spin:
I was watching Grey's Anatomy the other night and "It Don't Matter To The Sun" started playing. It wasn't Don, obviously, but it reminded me of him.
There used to be a Halloween Express store by my house that always played Witchy Woman. I'd go there with my friends and look at ridiculous costumes, and then the song would start to play and I'd start singing it in the aisles. Sadly, there's a Gold's Gym in the building where it used to be. :ack:
I finally have an Eagles anecdote about Rosalind.
When I came upstairs to bed last night she was on this computer & had a big smile on her face. It was obvious that she was listening to a song. Normally I leave her to it as she doesn't like to share but in this case I had to see - she had Busy Being Fabulous playing. I knew she liked it but I asked why & she said it reminded her of her previous school where people were so busy having a good time they forgot about more important things. I already knew she liked Heartache Tonight but she also said she likes the title track of LROOE so I must have trained her right (normally she listens to stuff like Linkin Park).
Aw, that's sweet, Julie! I love the reason that Rosalind gave for liking it - she definitely listened to the lyrics and understood the meaning of the song. :)
That's exactly what I was thinking also, Troub! Good job Julie!
You must be so proud!
See, your influence is rubbing off on her! :thumbsup:
