Review: Fantastic book. And a rare one. And character revealing... - If you're American growing up in the 70s or 80s you liked the Eagles whether you wanted to or not. They as well as later on Frey and Henley were on all the time so you couldn't escape them. I've read most of what is out there about the Eagles, including Felders book, every article and interview and even the "You'll Never make Love in This Town Again" which chronicles the salacious sides of Henley and a little on Frey and a clear picture of Henley emerges. And its not flattering. He seems to be his own worst enemy. Henley is famously known as a nitpicker, a tightly wound curmudgeon, an unpleasant, controlling man who may have been a better person had he not become a famous artist. In short, a talented creep. I'm glad that Eliots book is still around, as he seems to try to provide an accurate account despite Henley's attempts to control the media (odd given his liberalism-in fact one of the great captures in the book about him after his busts on prostitution, being caught with an underage prostitute overdosing in his home and drugs scandals, was that Henley was out "on a course of image self-rehabilitation. More than anything he wanted to recast himself as. Lennonesqye working class hero, a spokes for freedom, liberty and the American way....perfectectly personifying "liberals", twenty dress to the left when an issues affected someone else and twenty degrees to the right when it affected them personally") portrayals that he doesn't agree with (because much of what Eliot chronicles is documented and corroborated in other places - you just have to dig-because the Eagles-by design-are one of those bands-and especially Don Henley to the extent that it starts to seem like this man doesn't have much to do- that have desperately tried to control their image instead of rising above it as most superstars, as they claim and I believe they are, do. Most of what Henley tried to control is more documentation of his salacious behavior-the underage prostitute who nearly died at his house, his dalliances with prostitutes and drugs (heavily chronicled in the "You'll never make love in this town again" and elsewhere)-and points of vanity (that he didn't get a perm in the 70s)-which he would like replaced with his work on conservation, on Walden woods, fighting digital music distribution (for the little guy!) and other social justice causes from his Texas mansion. And yet his belligerent contradiction of facts only serves to diminish him. I would have more respect for him if he was Keith Richards, who didn't care or admitted it, or any other rock star that doesn't respond. His vendetta, going to book stores to hide copies of this book, takes away the very mystique he aims to protect. Anyway, this is a great book. Interesting, provides details you won't get elsewhere and absorbing. I only feel bad that part of Henley's campaign to kill this book hurt Eliot's launch, sales and distribution...The Eagles are a truly American phenomenon, I love their harmonies, songs and voices (especially all the song Glenn Frey sings on-just love that Michigan accent!) respect all they've done as a group as well as their solo careers (though I wasn't a fan of the solo work personally), marvel at how boys from all over the country with different musical interests and influences came together to produce one towering talent and know that they'll always be one of the greats...now if they-especially Henley-would only act like it.

If you're American growing up in the 70s or 80s you liked the Eagles whether you wanted to or not. They as well as later on Frey and Henley were on all the time so you couldn't escape them. I've read most of what is out there about the Eagles, including Felders book, every article and interview and even the "You'll Never make Love in This Town Again" which chronicles the salacious sides of Henley and a little on Frey and a clear picture of Henley emerges. And its not flattering. He seems to be his own worst enemy.

Given the recent passing of Glenn Frey, there is plenty of interest in The Eagles. One think that I didn't know was that Glenn Frey wanted to call the band just plain Eagles after seeing one fly over them while they staying overnight at the Joshua Tree in California. If you look up any history on 60's and 70's era bands, you see all kind of crazy names for bands that didn't really gain any traction. Perhaps they had one hit or two but not alot of hit songs to remember. Frey and Henley turned out to be the two-some that wrote most of the early songs but when the group split up for 14 years, Henley and the others (Joe Walsh included) wrote many of the rockin' songs that elderly people like myself truly enjoy. One could say that in the early years, the group wanted to be much like Peter, Paul and Mary or the Mama and the Papas. They played back-up to Linda Ronstead for awhile and one wonders why she just didn't join up with them. But then she fell in love with Jackson Browne, who helped with her songs and they stayed together for some time. Jackson Browne continued to write on his own and actually helped Frey with some songs that he needed finished. It is ironic that he "played" Glenn Frey's part at the Grammy Tribute to the group. One could also wonder what kind of songs the group would write during the 14 years that they stayed apart but one gets the sense that the intense nature of their recording sessions, combined with the drugs and the groupies did them all in. It was hard to live that life forever and indeed two of the Eagles left the group because of the drugs that were so invading during that time. Surely the drugs and the late nights and the hard live changed all of them and not perhaps for the better. The Eagles songs will be around as long as the 60's generation stays alive yet even today, my grandchildren love to listen to their songs because they are so real and are sstories that people can easily remember and relate two. I have see the Eagles twice at the Garden and I will always remember their concerts. A Pieceful Full Easy Feeling..while on the road and in my car. Plenty of memories here.
