My favorites:

In some of the young ones you can barely tell it is Don, but that last one you can tell it's Don and a cute Don, too.

[Troubadour]

First of all, thank you Soda for the screen caps. They are all amazing. I'll have to post my favorites after I get a chance to study them some more.

Of course he's going to present himself as totally over it and say Glenn is bitter. People do the same thing with their exes. Everybody wants to sound like they're the ones who are fine and the ex is the one who has issues.

So Felder paints himself as the big hearted man who is willing to forgive and forget, unlike that resentful meanie Glenn Frey. We're all supposed to respond with 'Aw Felder is definitely the better man here!' That's Emotional Manipulation 101 but it seems from the replies so far that nobody is buying it. I think that NOBODY is over it, not Glenn, not Don Henley, not Don Felder, NOBODY.

As for Felder's negative opinion of Glenn being 'validation' ~ That's like saying my grandpa's negative opinions of Obama are validated because they're shared by Mitt Romney. 'I knew Obama couldn't be trusted and it's not just me, Romney picked up on that too!'

I totally agree with you here, HD. And even though your analogy is right on, it gave me a giggle.

I think Glenn's anger in the doc was done to reflect how he was feeling at the time of the incidents. For both the the first breakup and firing DF. I didn't get the sense he was still angry. Was just reliving the moment a little which would naturally bring back some old feelings and probably trying to portray an accurate depiction of what happened from his perspective for authenticity reasons. I doubt he spends much time thinking about DF. Seems he's a pretty busy guy who's always focused on his next moves.
DF is no doubt hurt by all this. I love his playing. He brought a lot to the Eagles. Would of been nice if they could of worked out their differences. I have read his book several times. Actually watched the show again from DVR and would pause and go back through Heaven and Hell to try and see how the timelines and info would match up. Book is more detailed and the show couldn't possible cover as much without being a mini series but there are some interesting differences or omissions. It's more the tone and contradictions and what wasn't said that bother me about Heaven and Hell.

And yk, I absolutely agree with every word of your post here too. This is exactly the way I feel.

Has any info ever leaked on what the lawsuit settlement was?

The lawsuit was allegedly settled for somewhere between $20 - $30 million, although the term of the settlement were sealed.
