You're welcome. I would had loved to hear it too. Clint did do a great job with his version of Desperado years ago. I hear it on Sirius.Quote:

I always liked Clint’s cover of Desperado; I saw him perform it live a couple of times. Unfortunately it also contributed to my getting kind of sick of the song, having heard it so many times since the 70s.Quote:

NMB - I agree. I truthfully do not know what to make of this. It makes no sense and sounds politically motivated. Like you and others have said, why wait six months ?Quote:

The name sounded familiar but I really don't know what the site is.
I found it by chance, it was posted in this page https://www.yelp.com/topic/san-franc...agles-is-effedQuote:

I agree with you and I am pretty sure that it is all politically motivated. I don't believe that the then underage girl now wants justice for her and for the deceased girl with whom she shared the plight.
And I was also wondering how can polaroids be still clear after 37 years (I am not an expert in photography).
You know something. You're right, Meerstern. Pictures start losing its color and everything else after so many years especially if it hasn't been stored correctly. Even if she had it in a box, it wouldn't be that clear. You can say that's anybody in that picture.
Like I keep saying. Why wait? Nobody else is waiting.

"Crazy Days and Nights is a gossip site. The site publishes gossip, conjecture and fiction."
Seems to have a decent following.
Hmm. So in other words. Take it with a grain of salt. This stuff could not be true. The new stuff I mean.
Thanks for finding that, Dawn.
Definitly ... a BIGGGGGGGG grain of salt.Quote:

Pffft
Is it one writer doing all these blind items, or can anyone just go and post something? I can't tell for sure. It seems to be one writer, there's a consistent "voice" throughout.
I knew something was fishy about that article. I did have to look up the word conjecture. Then when I saw the word "fiction" is the description of the facebook page, I knew it might not be true. Now that does explain why they haven't came out with this info. Its probably not true. Just trying to stir the pot.
i don't know NMB, it looks to me like one writer precisely because as you say there does appear to be a consistent "voice".
There is some interesing reading to be sure ... I just think people need to remember this is a gossip site and retain a healthy skepticism.
Thanks everyone for checking the site out. So it's "gossip, conjecture and fiction." As to the pictures, which can fate to barely visible pictures, who knows. Don said back then he did not have sex with either girl and did not know they were minors, which I believe. So that would leave the Eagles roadies and the drugs. Both of which were know and covered in the press and books. I still think there is something fishy about this whole thing.
There are posts at the beginning of this discussion where a couple of us expressed skepticism at the outset (UtW actually said “take it with a large dose of salt”). I’m not saying there’s no way it could be true, just that it didn’t seem credible enough to be taken seriously.Quote:

Then after getting more and more info about the website from everybody, I still see why I didn't post the article. The only reason I didn't post it for the first time was because it was old news.
I'll be dipped: today there's an article in the Daily Mail about that blog site, saying it exposed the dastardly doings of Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer long before anyone else:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...years-ago.html
The Daily Beast is also commenting specifically on the "Rocker" blind item, which is said to be the most popular on the blog, and - calling all lawyers - they're linking it with Henley. Wouldn't wanna be ya, Daily Beast writer. https://www.thedailybeast.com/whos-n...fore-the-media
Well at this point I have to take this more seriously than before. I have my doubts but this isn’t exactly some nobody making claims. They are credible. We’ll just have to wait and seeQuote:

I can't believe people still read this crap. It's like those cheesy National Inquirer magazine commercials used to say. " Inquiring minds want to know". Meaning, nosy people who are too lazy to fact check and like to spread gossip, buy this.
I saw this on facebook in another group. How nice of Don.

Quote:
Government agencies, neighborhood special events, resident and community donations, philanthropic support, and even gifts from some of Laurel Canyon’s storied former residents helped complete the purchase.
Eagles leader Don Henley made a $100,000 donation in memory of his friend and collaborator — and fellow former Laurel Canyon resident — Glenn Frey. “I greatly appreciate your efforts to preserve the rare undeveloped lands that remain in the Laurel Canyon area,” Henley said. “These resources are precious, both in terms of wildlife habitat, and in terms of the human history that resides there.”
A very generous donation and what a nice touch to make it in Glenn's memory. :heart:
That is sweet of Don to make the donation in Glenn's name and it goes to a great cause. I'm sure it would have meant a lot to Glenn. Plus, they used a great picture of both Don and Glenn in the article.
A news clip about the story.
http://947thewave.radio.com/video/37...eveloped-land/
Kudos to Don - that was a very kind gesture to make the donation in Glenn's name. I'd bet that some of Don and Glenn's best times together were in the early days in Laurel Canyon. It was cool for me to look at the Laurel Canyon map since I have visited there several times now and know exactly where this property is located.
Yes! What a beautiful tribute and an awesome gift to present and future Angelenos (and folks like me who just love to visit).
Another article about it:

Thanks NMB,enjoyed the article!
Here's a video from CBS This Morning that talks about . Some nice pictures shown. Stop the video at 1:50. You get to see the whole letter.

Hi everybody! I am new this message board :) Not to talk about old news but I came across a book that was written by a former model named, Lorelei Shellist. It's called Runway Runaway. (She dated Don in the 70's). I didn't read the entire book, I only read the preview. In that, I came to find out that right after Lorelei and Don broke up, he started seeing a girl from Texas. I think this was around 1974 - 1975.
It's common knowledge among Henley fans that Don has an older daughter named Brittany who was born in 1975 (birthdate according to IMDB). This is just my own personal view; 'I' think Brittany was born from his relationship with the Texas girl (nobody knows anything about Brittany's mom and maybe that was her choice).
This is me just connecting the dots. I could be totally wrong about this and maybe it's whole different story.
Well, there's not much known about Brittany either, only that Don and Brittany came to know each other when she reached adulthood.
Also I read in a concert review that, when introducing the song 'That Old Flame,' from his Cass County album, Don said something along the lines of "the internet has a dark side and so many people claim that their children are by him and that it was only true once." (referring to Brittany I think). That statement kinda makes me sad.
What really matters in the end is that it's all behind him now and in the past. I am sure Don loves his daughter and surely Brittany loves her dad.
By the way, I only wrote this out of curiosity and because I am die-hard Henley fan. I am completely aware that he wishes to keep his personal life to himself and that's perfectly fine.
I sincerely hope that he writes his autobiography one day. Wouldn't that be great! I think it's fair to say that all of us Henley/Eagles fans around the world would love love love to read it :)
Maybe we should start writing letters encouraging him to write one.
I would love to read an autobiography by Don Henley. He's a talented wordsmith and he has no shortage of stories to tell. The only problem is that he won't be able to keep his personal life out of it, not if he truly wants to write an effective autobiography.
An autobiography where the author refuses to open up and expose any vulnerability or heart and soul, one where he does nothing but talk about his professional achievements and leaves out the personal, is nothing more than a glorified press release.
He'll also have to include the darkness as well as the light if he wants to make it work, and I think he'll struggle with that as well. Most people do. Whitewashing the past is deadly in a book and comes off as someone trying to project a false, sanitized image of himself for the purposes of self-glorification rather than an honest picture that communicates his essence... and that's what a good autobiography should do. The reader should be able to extrapolate from it a fundamental truth about what makes Don Henley tick.
We'll see. I'm hoping for the best.
Well said Soda, and I agree. I can never see Don writing an autobiography that deals with both the "dark andQuote:

Remember the shit fit he threw with Eliot after he cooperated on the re-issue of TTL. He tried his hardest to keep the book from being published and when that was unsuccessful, from selling. Also, JMHO, but how can he honestly discuss his relationship with Glenn when it has been Glenn's son who has enabled this version of the Eagles go on. I would agree that an autobiography would be really interesting but I'm just not holding my breath on it happening.
Stevie Nicks once said she's write her autobiography when her ex-lovers were either dead or widowers, because apparently she had a lot of affairs with married men and didn't want to get them in trouble! LOL!
On the other hand, I think people whose parents were in the industry are probably aware of what went down. I don't think Felder's kids were shocked to read that their dad did groupies.
Don talking about conflicts with Glenn isn't going to horrify anyone, but it would mean that he'd have to be more honest about the complexity of what has been presented, even to a degree in HOTE, in a pretty simplistic way. I think there was a power struggle there that nobody likes to talk about. It seems to me that they danced around each other a lot, that there were frustrations, insecurities, and competitiveness they couldn't express in words but that came out in other ways. Glenn's anger at Don being late during the initial '93 get together wasn't just about Don making people wait, for instance. It was about - to him - Don saying "I'm a big enough star where I don't need to be on time." And Don promising to be on time was a concession to please Glenn but how did Don feel a bout making that concession? Was he cool with it, or did he resent it? Did he feel he had messed up, or did he think Glenn was overreacting because he was insecure and needed to reassert himself? There's so much that can be talked about with those two.
On the other hand, I can't see Don ever talking about "the incident." I don't think he's ever come to terms with what happened that night and he desperately wants to pretend it never happened. If he ever did, what it would reveal about him would be fascinating, though. How does a man deal with something like that? The horror of the moment, then the panic, the fear, the guilt, the humiliation, and finally the anger... How does it change him? What does it teach him?
He doesn't have to talk about "the incident" to give us insight into his darker side, though. He could go dark without going ALL the way. What he has to do is let us see enough to get a true picture.
Soda - I agree. His relationship with Glenn, the power struggle between the two, Glenn probably realizing he gave up too much, including vocals, that once close friendship broken, is something I think we would all love to hear about. In the re-issue of TTL, he came of as sounding down right nasty and mean when talking about Glenn. And, we can't forget the comment about Glenn's surgery at that time.Quote:

EDIT : I do have to add that I hate when people are 2-3 hours late like Don usually was. I would be fuming. I have two sisters who can never be on time. One has gotten much better and the other still keeps us waiting and waiting.
Just because Don hasn't talked about it publicly doesn't mean he's never dealt with it. How can you possibly have any idea whether he thinks about it now or has come to terms with it? We have absolutely no way of knowing that, and if he had come to terms with it, the only people who would (and should) know are the people closest to him. If I had a horrible episode in the past, the last thing I'd want to do would be discuss it with the general public.Quote:
