Don is filing another lawsuit....

“Fans tipped us off to the fact that Biden and Trump weren’t using ‘Boys Of Summer’ for any of their in-person or virtual campaign appearances, and we felt we had no choice but to take legal action,” said Henley, whose lawyers filed a civil complaint against the campaigns detailing how the classic-rock radio mainstay would make a perfect complement to the message of either candidate.
“We find it unacceptable that it hasn’t been played even once at a 2020 rally, especially during the summertime. The part that goes ‘Nobody on the road / Nobody on the beach’ truly speaks to this moment in American life.

Don Henley Sues Both Presidential Campaigns For Not Using ‘Boys Of Summer’ The Onion, August 5, 2020


:hilarious::hilarious::grin:

Lol, Delilah! Too funny!

Ha! :laugh: But I fear Don wasn't even remotely amused!:nope:
Thanks, Delilah!

That is hilarious. :hilarious: Thanks for posting, Delilah.

I just got this email and it looks like they will have this year's RnR Hall of Fame induction on November 7th on HBO


Don will be a special guest probably to honor Irving.

Thanks for the heads up, shun. I'll update the R&R HOF 2020 thread as well. And, yep, I'd bet Don will induct Irvin.

So Don Henley has been doing stuff too, I missed this maybe you have too! He is featured on The Dillard’s September release titled Old Roads New Again! And Bernie is on a song too! The title track to boot! There is a link for the song in the article. Enjoy

Thanks for posting that, KW. Hope all the guys are keeping busy and staying safe.

Don is featured very briefly speaking of Irving on the RRHOF's promo for their upcoming ceremony @ https://www.rockhall.com/class-2020-inductees. Notable to me was Don's appearance: leaner, clean shaven, and hair allowed to go natural. I think he looks like a silver fox, and should have gone gray a long time ago. (They rarely did a dye job that looked right to me.)

Thanks for posting. Don does look good! I prefer the all natural too. I think Don and Paul McCartney both should’ve embraced the grey sooner. Both had that weird orangy tinge going on at times or just plain off. They both look way better now, imho.

I think Don looks good too. And, I agree - he always seemed to have the orange tinted hair. He looks good with the grey hair and, about ten years younger without the beard. I never cared for the beard and always thought it made him look older. Looking forward the the R&RHF show !

Don looks very sharp. Good to see him again!

I wasn’t sure where to post this, but in case you didn’t see...I thought this was pretty cool. Waddy, Danny Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel, LeLand Sklar and Steve Postell re-did Don’s “New York Minute”. Check it out, of course it’s missing Don’s finesse but still cool to see the guys! It was funny I looked QUICK at Kortchmar and for a split second I thought it was Felder! I was like wait what? :rofl: But there wasn’t a scarf so..I mean duh! :shrug:Stupid me ha ha. :wink: Anyways here’s the article, nice backstory and such. and video is in there too. https://www.rockcellarmagazine.com/t...eo-don-henley/

Thanks for posting that. "The Immediate Family" is an interesting band name, isn't it? The vocal actually reminds me a bit of Joe.

I agree that the vocals are somewhat 'Joe-like'.

I like the version a lot. But, of course, not as much as the original.

I just got this email. If you have Netflix, they will be premiere Dolly’s MusiCares gala from 2019 on April 7th.


This includes Don and Vince singing Eagle When She Flies. Linda will be a guest too.

Thanks once again Shun! Sweet!

I'll be recording it. Thanks, shun!

Waddy and Glenn:
both left handed but play right handed
both played in backup bands for Linda
both used to play at the Troubadour
both played in bands with Joe Walsh

Don’t waste your time watching Dolly’s MusiCares special (unless you want too). They cut it way down to 55 minutes and Don is not in there.

Linda does appearance at the end with Emmylou Harris.

That's too bad that Don was cut out. What were those editor's thinking? :headscratch:

I found an old article from that night. I wanted to see who was also there. They cut Don’s, Garth/Trisha’s and Pink’s performances. I think they cut some Dolly’s performance too. It could had been 90 minutes.

I’m so sorry about misinformation. The way the article was saying, his and Vince’s performance was going to be shown.

Wow what a let down. I agree dreamer what were they thinking?? Not your fault shun, what can ya do!

Don will induct and pay tribute to Trisha Yearwood at this year’s Austin City Limits Hall of Fame. She will inducted along with singer the late John Prine. The induction will be October 26th on PBS but won’t air until January 2024.

They were recording and performing up in Canada during the COVID shutdown. I think the group came from the Monsters as they were called who did a lot of studio work in the 60's -70's and session work too.

I saw this on JD Souther’s story reel on Facebook. Don, Trisha, JD, and others will be part of a tribute to Leonard Cohen on April 26th at the Kennedy Center. Tickets go on sale this Friday.


Too bad I’m in that area next month. I’m heading to Baltimore for a conference and I want to visit the Kennedy Center and other places in Washington DC since it’s only an hour away from Baltimore.

Don appears on Austin City Limits Hall of Fame to honor Trisha Yearwood; sing "Walkaway Joe".
