Years ago, I get an email pitch to interview a roadie of Frey's as he was promoting this book:

....even though I haven't worked in journalism for years.
 
Seven Bridges Road. Mic drop.
So, yeah.
I've never really read into their story, but it was funny to read that they were kinda douches.

Rich Stadium, July, 1975. A warm Monday night, my arms wrapped around my then-girlfriend as we stood, swayed and sang along with Frey on "Ol' 55" near the end of a wonderful concert. I was 21, she was days away from turning 20, and it was one of the best days of my life up to that time.

Some think the Eagles suck, but for me, they invoke a memory will stay with me to my dying day.
 
The Eagles definitely do not suck, but I only rate "Hotel California" and "The Long Run." The rest of their body of work has its hits and misses. Mostly hits.

I also enjoyed Henley and Frey's solo work in the 1980s. much like I enjoy the former Beatles' solo work in the 1970s. Two (plus) for the price of one, etc.
 
Glenn Frey Rocks.



I got sick of my job, sick of my wife
Sick of my future and sick of my life
I packed up my car and I got some gas
And told everybody they could kiss my ass

I'm goin' to Partytown...
 
I worked with a guy in Clearwater who was a devout Christian
Told us the Eagles were the devil’s music because of Hotel California
We all wondered about his story
He didn’t have any vices
He drank lots of coffee but it was decaf
Then one day, we were in the break room and somebody was talking about a friend of his who had the DT’s
Guy was getting coffee
He turned around and said: “Oh yeah. They’re pretty intense.”

The fact this got its first like from @2muchcoffeeman is what makes it art.
