Re: Little things that remind you of the Eagles
I currently have my December Eagles wallpaper on my laptop as I visit my parents. My father saw the wallpaper and asked who the people in the photo were. (Even though I've told my parents before many times about the Eagles, they have a hard time remembering who the group is since they never listened to popular music in the 70s.) I answered that it was the music group called the Eagles that I like... I don't bother reminding them about my sites anymore, lol.
My father joked, "But none of them has a Don Eagle haircut!" I had no idea what he was talking about. Surely he couldn't be referring to Don Henley's old curly white man's 'fro! Still, I asked, "Do you mean a big curly haircut like Don Henley used to have, Dad?" He looked confused at that and said, "No, a Don Eagle - when the hair is shaved on both sides but not in the middle... Like the wrestler." At my blank look, Dad told me that in the fifties, there was a professional wrestler named Don Eagle who had a mohawk. So, back then, a mohawk was known as a "Don Eagle haircut."
I thought that was a funny coincidence! I told my dad that actually, there were not one but two Don Eagles in that photo! 
For the curious...
