Nobody told Don Henley or me that we were going to make it as solo artists, but I can speak for Don when I say that we are both really happy now that the band is not together.
It seems when I put together records, as Henley used to say, they're just like movies. They should have action, tension, love scenes, places to relax.
Thank you everybody, and welcome to the Eagles California Tour, ... on a hot and sultry night in Salinas.
It's the lure of easy money, It's got a very strong appeal.
I won't apologize for ticket prices. I think we're well worth it. We consider ourselves in the elite touring acts, like the Stones, Elton John, Paul McCartney.
That's what I miss out of all this synthesized music - it starts to lose dynamics.
If we're so awful and we're so bad, you ought to check out the nightlife in Leningrad.
Hey, a woman changed her mind - what else is new?
I grew up in Detroit. So my mother always loved big band music.
I wanted to sing songs that my voice was comfortable with.
The last two years with the Eagles were pretty intense times. There was a lot of drinking and we were all getting high a lot. My parents were relieved when I got off the Eagles treadmill.
I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.
It was 1967, and the hippie thing was happening. I got into experimenting with drugs while I was in college in Michigan.
I think it would be nice to sell 15 million albums as a solo artist. I'd have to deal with all the repercussions of that, but that wouldn't be too bad.
