I was watching Wheel of Fortune and the puzzle was New Kid in Town. Made me think of the song.
Actually, this is a "Little thing that reminds someone else of the Eagles". I attended a prayer service this week at a church that I don't normally attend. I was wearing one of my "Glenn Frey After Hours" tee shirts as I wasn't expecting to be going to this service & I didn't have time to go home & change. After the service the pastor said to me "Is that Glenn Frey of the Eagles?". Turns out that he is a big Eagles' fan.
We had a guest minister at our church today & he quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson a couple of times. You know who that brought to mind!
When driving around downtown Memphis, Dreamer, HB, and I drove down Linden St. and parked off of November 6th St!
There's a street called November 6th St.???Quote:

I heard Doctor My Eyes on the radio this morning. I know this has nothing to do with Eagles, but since Jackson Browne are friends with the guys, wrote a few songs with them and was in the documentary, the song made me think of it being played in the documentary.

I just got one of these awesome tank tops in black:

Awesome T&H.
And shun - anytime I hear Linda Ronstadt's, Jackson's, JD's, or Bob Seger's names or music, I automatically think of the Eagles. I guess I'm just shallow that way! :wink:
I guess I should said another artist. I was reading everybody's comments and everybody mostly talking about a street, a poster, a line or a name that's like the Eagles. I didn't know if I could say another artist in the thread. That's why I said I know this has nothing to do with the Eagles meaning something that would remind me of the Eagles.
I think that's the first time I ever heard Doctor My Eyes on the radio. The DJ was funny this morning. She thought nobody would know the song and would had to google it. If it wasn't for HOTE, I would had never guessed Doctor My Eyes either and I would had to google it. I called in to give the answer, but the line was busy. I was hoping nobody knew the answer so I can get through. :laugh: And tell her I knew the answer because I would watch the Eagles documentary everyday and that song was in the documentary.
Too cool T&H! I love that design! Thanks for sharing!

haha yeah you could say it's addressed to him...Quote:

Oh, is that where that lyric is from? I've never heard that song so I thought Glenn and/or Jack Tempchin just made it up, lol. Learn something new every day!Quote:

I agree it is similar but I never made a connection.
I finally remembered to look this up online and it seems our tour guide who gave us the above answer may have taken some liberty with his historical version. :laugh: Then again, he was the tour guide to Graceland and maybe Elvis told him about the Civil War general. Anyway, the above version does sound more exciting and I am not saying that it didn't happen BUTQuote:

That same month, Maiden Lane was changed to November 6th Street in observance of the event."
Besides being Glenn's birthday, I find it amusing that the previous name was Maiden Lane. Because how many fair maiden's hearts has Glenn broken?
;)
I hear "build", especially on the "Live" version. As said, it's only speculation on my part.Quote:

Cool! Now I need to find a Montana quarter!
Awesome!

Very cool! I collected all of those and then cashed them in! Never picked up on that one!
This is how my letters popped up on Words With Friends.

I discovered this quarter a few months ago myself! :D I thought I had posted it on this thread, but I can't seem to find it...I guess I had only posted it on Instagram...Quote:

That is funny, MV.
And T&H, thanks for that link. Should be very interesting - it's been a long time since I watched a cowboy flick, but I'll definitely need to check it out. :hmm: Wonder who they'll get to do the musical score? :grin:
