Discussion of Eagles Documentary "History of the Eagles"

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Shoot, guys, I looked it up. Every song where I changed the order on my site is also changed on their credits: Desperado, One of These Nights, Take It to the Limit, Too Many Hands (where I reversed Randy and Felder's credit on RMO because it was Randy's site - Glenn isn't even on there so he obviously didn't change the order), Life in the Fast Lane, Wasted Time, The Long Run, I Can't Tell You Why, Heartache Tonight, Get Over It, Hole in the World, Long Road Out of Eden, Busy Being Fabulous...

The only exceptions are Hotel California and Victim of Love, both of which have Felder listed before Glenn. Obviously, if he were going to change all the songs, wouldn't he have especially changed those? Instead, it looks like Felder two biggest co-writes were the only ones the interns took care with.

I am mortified... but how could I have known my little bit of laziness could come to this?

Who would have thought someone in such a position would go to a fansite for information instead of to those they work for?

Yes, they should have. I guess it was just faster and easier to look it up on the internet and they told me they were running short on time when asking about the photo credit, but still.

I guess I should go change the order on my sites... I had no idea it was such a big deal back when I wrote them up.

You would think a person could go to the Eagles official site and get this sort of information, but no.

Well, you had your tantrum for a good reason, just directed at the wrong person/people. I know some automatically assume Glenn is the bad guy in everything, but he really isn't.

On one hand it's cool that they used the sites as a resource for the documentary, but it is unfortunate that they took information as important as credits off of a fansite when they could have just as easily used the band's official discography. Having said that, it probably would be a good idea to correct it on the sites, Soda. You never know who might use it again.

Now, back to some other comments in this thread ...

It’s an amazing documentary although Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner didn’t quite get the credit and attention they deserved (if you ask me). It was great to see these guys at that young age! The developing of the band was a journey of its own, just amazing to see! Joe
Walsh was in my opinion the most honest (and funniest!) about everything, he was an addict for a long time and he got over it. Talking about that showed me what a great guy he is! I think that documentary is going to stay in the dvd player for good.... !

I think Joe was very contemplative with his statements. I don't think he was necessarily the most honest. I thought they all seemed to give honest recollection.

I guess I feel that Bernie was featured a reasonable amount of time. Randy could have been featured more, but maybe that was his choice. He seems pretty quiet or shy to me.

PM - I absolutely agree with your comment here.

I want to clarify that I got an email about a photo credit before the release of the DVD, not the song credits. I'm just extrapolating that they used the site for song credits as well because otherwise, the odds that they would happen to reverse the order on all those songs in the exact same way I did on Eagles Online Central (even on songs Glenn wasn't involved in) are too great for there to be any other logical explanation.

I think it's pretty awesome that they came to Soda's sites for info. I think all of the sites are great! Lots of info. Soda's situation is kind of a 'live and learn' thing. As she said, now that she knows these kinds of things can happen, she will be more diligent.

Seems that things in here are appearing with quotes by ME which are NOT my posts....Would appreciate if you all use the Quote Box Correctly.

I did not write some posts in this thread that are quoted in my name!!
Thanks guys!

TK, I noticed that, and one thing you did say is quoted as Zelda saying them (the 'draw your own conclusions' one). In one, Zelda quoted herself! Something bizarre going on.
