I blame my older brother, Scott, and a particular gift he received for Christmas in 1976. A detailed account is in the "New Kid in Town" thread, so I won't bore anyone with a repeat.

Like a tide, my fandom has ebbed and flowed over the years. Similarly, as many of you have already pointed out, the HOTE doc reignited a passion for the band and their music. I love a good doc and I love the Eagles, so it was a perfect match. The rest is history...
