I saw that about "The Simpsons" when I was looking up on Wikipedia about the song two days ago. That episode parodied the movie "The Warriors", which the song was part of the soundtrack. But that is funny timing.

I really wasn't watching the episode. I would glance up at my tv, but I wasn't watching that episode. I was mostly listening to it while I was on my computer. My head shot up when I heard In The City. I did beach scene at the end of the episode.
I heard "Rocky Mountain Way" this morning at around 8 on 98.5 KFOX (Bay Area classic rock station). When I heard the guitar intro and realized that this was the song, I was like this is effin' Joe Walsh!
Sorry about the non-Eagles username. It's no offense to them or anybody, but I was really into The Clash and just got into the Eagles due to Glenn's passing. It just didn't feel right to use an Eagles song username if I've only been into their stuff since January. I've been snooping around these boards since his passing.
Welcome RCF. :-)
No need to apologize for your username, RCF. We have plenty of members that don't use Eagles-related names. Welcome aboard and glad you decided to join us here.
Welcome Rudie. I am a fellow Northern Californian and I listen to 98.5 KFOX frequently.
Has any Eagles song made an immediate impression on you?

"Heartache Tonight" - I like the drums and tried to find my dad's Eagles' Greatest Hits Vol. 2 after I heard it on the radio several months ago.
Is your username abbreviated for the song or phrase, "For What It's Worth"? I just kept thinking that it would be, or it's something personal to you.
Welcome to the Border, RCF.
Yep! It's abbreviated for the song and phrase.Quote:

College Radio station in my area played "Take it Easy" earlier, and, of course, I upped the volume a ways.
I caught the last minute or so of "Take It to the Limit" on KFOX at around 2:45 PM. I did something stupid in a parking lot. I was parked and thought my car's engine was on, so I put the stick in reverse. I was like, "why is it slow? and then it hit me that the car wasn't started. I was so focused on the song and wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. Anyways, I learned to pay attention no matter what, even if an Eagles song is playing on the radio.
wow! I just went to the grocery store and they played "Smuggler's Blues"...that's one I've never heard in there before!!
This isn't really hearing but one of my friends got tagged in a picture on FB last night as he's traveling with his parents & younger brother out west and they quoted "Take it Easy" with their pic. I didn't know this but it turns out his father is originally from Winslow, Arizona and they all finally went back to see where their dad was from (as well as head out to California and Vegas while they're out there LOL). The three of them as well as his mom took a picture on the street corner and said "We're standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and it's such a fine sight to see". :D
I loved that not only because the song and how that song fits, but I've had a slight crush on my friend and he hasn't been active on FB lately till yesterday so that really was nice to see. LOL :lol:
I heard Life in the Fast Lane playing on the PA system a ant O'Reilly Auto Parts store yesterday afternoon. They played 2 other rock songs while I wa in the store as well.
I heard three Eagle songs back to back when I was heading to work this morning. I heard The Heat Is On(its very rare for my local radio station to play a Glenn solo song. This might had been my second time I heard Glenn's solo hits on the radio), Heartache Tonight and The Long Run.
I was watching my DVR recording of the movie, "Extraordinary Measures," and Harrison Ford's character is playing "Rocky Mountain Way" on his speakers. The lab scientists working on the enzyme tell him to turn it down, but he just turns it up. His character has disregard for most people, since he doesn't care about others.
It's not a good movie, so don't waste your time to watch this "Lifetime" movie that unfortunately got a theatrical release. I only watched it because Harrison Ford is one of my favorite actors. Yes, I torture myself with bad movies from the actors that I like the most. I watch their good ones, but I just watch the bad ones because I like watching them on screen.
Thanks to a post I saw by one of my favorite authors Rainbow Rowell it reminded me she used Don & Stevie Nicks' song "Leather and Lace" in her novel "Landline". The story is a Christmas set one about a woman reconnecting with the younger version of her husband, thanks to what seems like a magical landline phone, while she is currently separated from said husband. "Leather and Lace" started out as a joke between the couple when they were young as they kept hearing it on dates and teasing each other about it, and ended up using it as their wedding song as it became their song. The woman keeps hearing it as well as The Beatles' "Good Day Sunshine", which is her husband's personal ringtone for her calls, while they contemplate getting divorced or staying together. It's a very sweet story (one I hope eventually becomes a Christmas movie) and Rainbow uses music like this a lot in her novels for scenes.
Just heard Glenn's "The Heat is On" while my brother is watching the Tampa Bay Rays baseball game. :D They played it during the umpire's review over the play where they make their decision to keep or reverse the play. I immediately looked up from my laptop surprised that they played Glenn's song and my brother was laughing at my reaction. LOL
As I was driving home from work, The Heat Is On came on the radio. This is actually the second time in maybe a week that my local radio station played a solo song by Glenn. This is very rare to hear any of Glenn's solo songs on my local radio station. I even heard Life's Been Good on the radio. My local radio station rarely plays Joe's solo songs too.
One of my local radio staions had a late night show called deep cuts. It was a classic rock station. They played Try and Love Again
It was an awful tv show called "Bargain Hunt". An open-air antques market on a cold day and when they talk about going into the covered area, someone says they hope it's warm. At which point, I hear the familiar strains of "The Heat is On".
Cool! Always nice when you get a pleasant surprise like that. Excellent choice of song too IMO! :grin:Quote:

The soundtrack contains, The Eagles' Lying Eyes, Joe Walsh's All Night Long, and a duet by Linda Ronstatt and J.D Souther. Also, Don Henley's early mentor, Kenny Rogers has a song on there and Glenn's early mentor Bob Seegar has a song on there too. It's like one big family album! Crazy!
I brought the kids into McDonalds this evening and Boys of Summer was playing in the background
Tonight on the way to work I had on Classic Rock radio and heard the opening to Take it Easy, so I turned it on full blast.
Glenn's voice sounded so young and I was really noticing how Wonderful Randy's voice sounds when he comes in on harmony on I was standing on the corner...
My daughters are very excited about my book "Already Gone" and since I started writing it every time an Eagles song comes on one of our satellite radio stations they scream "It's a sign!". It seems to happen a lot.
Living in the Florida Keys, every restaurant, especially on the water, has entertainment/music, and it seems like everyone one of them plays an Eagles song at one point.
The last two family dinners out, both musicians started their session with an Eagles song ("Take it Easy" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling").

I just can't imagine living in a paradise like that! I've been to Miami, but we didn't take the time to drive to the keys. :sad: Maybe someday!
Last night, while my mom and I were out and about, we were listening to local radio station that plays pop hits from the 60s- 80s. I've heard the Eagles on this station before, but never any solo songs. Imagine my surprise and happiness when I heard You Belong to the City!
I'm trying AG! :wink:
I have one too from earlier this week - I was in the drug store and heard The Best of My Love ... and it was as beautiful as ever!
Had some great moments last night at Keith Urban's concert in Cincinnati as both Joe and Don will be playing at the same venue (Joe tomorrow and Don next month, which I'm going to Don's) so they were playing Joe and Don's music and Eagles hits in the audio ads for the upcoming concerts. Also saw both their posters at the venue too.
But the best surprise was before we went to the concert we got there early and at the last minute decided to eat dinner before the show and the first song I hear when I open the door of the restaurant was Glenn's "The Heat is On" which made me burst out laughing. LOL :D My brother got confused and asked me what was going on and I said it's the song. My brother still didn't get it and I said "It's Glenn Frey and I keep hearing his music everywhere." Then it dawned on my brother as he actually forgot Glenn sang that song and he always liked it. LOL :lol: I also took it as a sign, as I believe in those things, that the rain we were supposed to get was going to clear out and it's a good thing we did stop there as it stormed pretty badly while we were eating and had we ate at the venue like we planned we would've been soaked. The rain left and we had a fantastic time at the concert. :mrgreen:
Lovely story Buffy and I'm glad you enjoyed the show as well.
I went into a little 'roadie' called the Cabana yesterday with Laura (my 15 year old daughter) to get a late breakfast. They had music playing and the second song I heard was HITW!! I was very surprised. In a nice little follow up the next song on the playlist was 'Something Stupid' with Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman - that was one of Lauras favourites when she was only a year old and we used have it on repeat in the car!!
Just had another funny moment as my Mom has Pandora on a 70s adult-contemporary station and while it was on commercial I joking said "I bet an Eagles song is next" and sure enough "Lyin' Eyes" started playing!!! LOL :lol: I really love this story song.
I was one of those Treehouse of Horror episodes (Part XVI episode) on the Simpson and they started to play New Kid IN Town.
One of my local radio stations has been having a Christmas in July weekend so over the past two days I've heard their "Please Come Home for Christmas" multiple times and that is one of my top fav Christmas songs. :D
Last night, I heard "Walk Away" in the pool at Harveys in South Lake Tahoe. I was like, this sounds like Joe! I'm not that familiar w/ his songs, but it's hard not to recognize his voice. My mom was there lounging, and I asked her to tell me who's singing this b/c I wasn't 100% sure. There was a TV at this poolside Cabo Wabo bar that played music and showed the songs and artists. She told me that the bar TV says "talcum powder," so I got out and saw it for myself.
We pulled up to a dialysis facility yesterday to pick up a patient just as "one of these nights" came on the radio. Luckily, my partner was fine with listening to the song before we let dispatch know we were there
My partner listens to solo Don H a lot (but isn't keen on Cass Country.) Yesterday when I walked past when she was on the computer, she was playing Hotel California (the song.)
