Don in the Press/Blogs/etc.

Was Don Henley – frontman for legendary rock band The Eagles – in Winfield for the Walnut Valley Festival?

Uh-oh...I can see Julie cringing now...

(You gotta love a news outlet that calls itself "NewsCow." )

Seriously - wonder why Don wanted to keep a low profile. I mean who wouldn't want to be "Cowley County famous" even if just for a few minutes.

Just saw this on Twitter - Don Henley went to the Greg Ladanyi memorial yesterday.

Uh-oh! Don made the list of Bad Celebrity Tippers!

Don Henley – Very demanding, keeps staff members on their toes, tips 15%.

I gotta ask, since when is 15% a bad tip? I was always told that 15% was the standard tip percentile, only to be exceeded when one receives above-average service.

A friend told me a couple years ago that the new standard is 20% - don't know who decides these things - but Henley is old school, like my dad, who still regularly tips 15%. Maybe he never received above average service at these joints!

He can be as demanding as he likes with me!

In England, I'm used to 10% as a guide, so 15% seems pretty generous...

Who DOES decide things? And Soda, at least Don and your dad leave tips. Needless to say, I have to make my dad leave a tip when I go to dinner with him and he still will only leave a couple bucks. I've lectured him many times and he's still stubborn when it comes to tipping.

Don gets another mention in an interview with Daughtry's bass player Josh Paul, aka "the kid from the Boys of Summer Video":

What was it like to play the drums in Don Henley's "Boys of Summer" video at age 7?

It was definitely a great opportunity. I didn't really know really what was going on. I just knew that I played drums and I went to some audition where there were 500 other little kids. And, I actually got it and did it. I was a little bit overwhelmed, but I thought it was awesome. Don Henley's really cool.

I like that guy


I also saw somewhere else where he was asked who inspired him or influenced him (don't remember which) and Don was one of two or three people he mentioned.

So, if you want Don to make a special dedication for you at an Eagles show, here's the price tag:

"at an Eagles concert in January, when band leader Don Henley stood on stage and dedicated, at Rothstein's request, Life in the Fast Lane to the lawyer and wife Kimberly for their first anniversary. His donation: $100,000, to a Henley environmental cause."

Geez, I'd better sign up for some more overtime.
