Christ, no wonder he's pissed - the guy rips the song whole and complete, then riffs over it. It's like no one in the control room knows what copyright is.

I saw Frank Ocean on some awards show (I think) maybe 2 years ago where he was just awful-- some sort of technological failure caused him to be way off pitch.... that's my only exposure so far. I don't think there's any disputing that Kanye West is arrogant. But maybe I'm just biased.....some people are pretty good at being right, and I think Don's one of them.

I like Don Felder, Joe Walsh.

Don Henley and G Frey are arrogant a holes.

That last 2 hr documentary about Eagles, and Don Felders book, is all I had to see.

The misinformation quotient in those comments is pushing 98% or so I think. Everyone is an expert on why someone left the band.

I like Henley, Frey, Felder, and Walsh.

I can't really fault him on his comments when it comes to this one.

It is what it is.

N-O, that thread cracked me up.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Extra extra read all about it. Old White Guy doesn't like rap singers.

It's best to not care about these guy's personal lives and thoughts. We don't know them which means whatever they have to say is without context. Henley is a brilliant singer/songwriter/musician with a deep catalog. He's also a "businessman." That's kind of none of my business. Not coming to terms with his fellow workers is dismaying. As the the old cliche goes "It's supposed to be about the music."

I think Henley is kind of a tool, but when he's right, he's right. What they call "country music" on the radio these days is essentially just Def Leppard cover bands with bad fake accents and an occasional fiddle part.

I blame Mutt Lange.
