Well, that's two votes for the avatar. I'll probably keep it for a while, then. ;)Quote:

So I guess it's not really unexpected, but are we all hearing "Please Come Home for Christmas" at least once a day now? I heard it no less than three times in the mall yesterday. lol
Yes, I've heard it a lot lately!
I heard "The Long Run" at a steakhouse last night when I was out with my cousins. One of my cousins actually asked me "Who sings that?" I thought, Is he kidding? but answered, "the Eagles," to which he replied, "I know, but which one?" lol. I finally got it. "Don Henley." Ah, the uninformed casual fan. ;)
The other day I was listening to the radio when suddenly I thought to myself: "What a weird song...it seems like an Eagles one but..." And finally I realized it was HOTEL CALIFORNIA! Its version hurt my ears and insulted my intelligence! :yuck:
Somehow ended up at an ice hockey match the other day, where they played bits of The Heat Is On. Might have to go back more often!
Completely out of left field, and for your listening pleasure, "Mr. Jaws" by Dickie Goodman, from 1975. The relevant bit is at 1:14. Enjoy!

And I thought this was hysterically funny at age seven. LOLOL.
OMG - that is too funny. Thanks for finding that one, pippin!
:rofl: Pippin!
Glad you liked it! Heard it on 70s on 7 and had to post it.
LOL I had no idea this existed before today, but I love it!Quote:

The snippet I always equate with this is the "Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend?" I don't remember the Eagles' snippet.Quote:

Happy it produced some laughter this week!
LOL - I never heard of this song before. Very funny - thanks Pippin. I think they used to do quite a few songs like this back in the day.Quote:

This after they hadn't picked up the phone when I'd called earlier... they just left me on hold for an hour (I left the phone on to see if they'd ever answer it, and it cut off after 60 minutes).
But I think it's about forgiveness... forgiveness... even if they don't serve me very well.
Wow - You definitely needed that song for inspiration, soda! That kind of poor service is inexcusable so I'm sure you needed to muster up a whole lot of empathy for that kind of forgiveness. If it were me, I might try to find another pharmacy though. lolQuote:

Wow! That never happens! I wonder where it came from, too.Quote:

Hello, Scottside! Good to see you on these forums again.
Thanks for that little tidbit, ss. Learn something new every day!
Wow, Soda - you have more patience than I do! I probably would have started looking for another pharmacy ! However, I know that in some areas there is no choice where to go when they are the only one around.Quote:

I keep saying that I will - and never do!Quote:

There are a couple versions, at least one without PEF.
Watching that again gave me a peaceful easy feeling! :wink: :grin:
Was in a pub last weekend and they played Hotel California. What was more remarkable was they then played Jackson Browne's Doctor My Eyes a while afterwards. I have never, ever heard anything by Jackson over here so it was a nice surprise!
This is funny. This morning as I was heading to work, one of my local radio stations played Please Come Home For Christmas. :hmm: I'm trying to figure out why they are playing that song in February. lol
I also heard You Belong To The City yesterday. I also heard the real bad edited version of The Heart Of The Matter. I hate that version, but it was cool to hear The Heart Of The Matter.
Just heard NKIT in the airport yesterday headed on vacation.
It was nice to hear it. I swear, it is going to break my top 5 Eagles songs someday. I really like it, and I really used to not like it. So sometimes songs grow on me. Like right now, I'm not a fan of Lyin' Eyes, but maybe someday...
Yep, maybe someday...
Have a good vacation WalshFan. You deserve it after your tough year. Relax and enjoy!
Austin - Yeah ! I know what you mean about certain songs growing on you, totally agree. Have a great vacation and I hope you can relax and enjoy yourself - you deserve it.
I don't go out much anymore (health issues) but, I've never been lucky enough to hear an Eagles song while out in a store somewhere like Wal-Mart. They're too stupid to play anything good. :(
I will say, though, that my all-time favorite song by the band would have to be Randy Meisner's "Try & Love Again"! Man, what a beautifully crafted song and the harmonies are perfect!!!
I just recently purchased the new box set, "Legacy", and I'm wishing that my Dad would fix my home theatre system so that I could listen to the band's CDs (I say that because I've got two 300-CD changers and all of my CDs (the ones that aren't on my computer) are on those players.
Glad NKIT has grown on you, Austin - I've always adored the song and consider it up there near the top of the band's best songs. I love how Glenn excels at singing the 'story' songs so maybe their is hope that Lyin' Eyes will grow on you as well. :grin: And, BTW, have a nice time in Florida.
And tt - I love TALA too, although, for me, TITTL will always be my favorite Randy song.
