Eagles Mentions in the Press (2006 - 2017)

Anyone with a name like AmarilloByMorning(one of my favorite George Strait songs) could never offend me. Plus I am all in favor of everyone feeling free to speak their minds. That is one of the many reasons that I love reading all the posts on The Border because people here do feel that they can "tell it as they see it".

Isn't he fabulous?! (Insert icon with stupid, dreamy expression here.) I'm listening to Twang right now - it has officially claimed precedence over Eagles Radio for the time being. And ABM is one of my favorites, as well... obviously...

I'm positively gleeful to meet another Strait fan! Here's to you! What's your favorite album? Did you see the CMA Artist of the Decade induction ceremony? (I apologize for pouncing; nobody in Illinois will admit to liking him....)

Like the members of Eagles, Sir George is VERY easy on the eyes for a guy over 50. Love his music and his newest CD is always my favorite.

Love him, too. Let's make a thread for him in the Singing for the Sake of the Song forum.

Eagles have reached a new chart accomplishment. See Billboard article here: http://www.billboard.com/column/char...04004746.story.

Congrats to our guys! I was wondering the other day how well the songs from LROOE had done in the charts.

[sodascouts]

Yes, congrats to the Eagles! I didn't realize their songs were doing so well on the Adult Contemporary charts.

More videos, please!

Hahaha, one of my coworkers mentioned the other day that he might finally be ready to marry when he was 60 and "nobody was interested anymore anyway." I interjected, "You'll have to push that up to 80, because the Eagles are still cute." So now they're calling me the anti-cougar and offering to set me up with Willie Nelson.

Am I the only one who doesn't like "No More Cloudy Days"? Glad they're still ruling the roost, though!

[sodascouts]

I daresay there are those who agree with you, ABM, but I heard it just the other day. Its beautiful melody and sincere vocal made me smile and lifted my mood.

It doesn't hurt that those are all things I wish a guy would say to ME!

True, true. I should offer a disclaimer: any song I "don't like" by the Eagles is still preferrable to anything else on the radio at the moment, so... it's all relative. And it does induce a smile to hear their distinctive sound, so I really ought to keep my trap shut in the future. Open mouth, insert foot...


Also, did anyone read the most recent Rolling Stone about "Why the Beatles really disbanded"? The parallels were almost uncanny, with Lennon (initiated the band, felt controlled, stepped back, veered solo) echoing Frey and McCartney/Henley (stepped up, always driving to produce, demanding quality, instigating resentment with well-meaning attempts to control) parallels. I do apologize if I offend anyone with this statement; but, they did set out to become the American Beatles, so...

Aw, don't be so skittish! Around here folks disagree with no hard feelings... well, unless you tell them "Anybody who likes NMCD is a loser with no taste!" THEN, a few people might get pissed off.

I haven't read it, but I can see what you're saying. It's ironic because usually people make the opposite comparison - Lennon/Henley: More serious, more introverted, more concerned about what they want to say than what people want to hear; McCartney/Frey: More light-hearted, more interested in making music that people will enjoy rather than using it to teach them a lesson. Of course such comparisons are reductive stereotypes, but they're interesting to discuss.
