Re: Talking in On the Border
I've wondered that too Dreamer! Its very cute. I love that line.
Re: Talking in On the Border
I'm probably way off but for some reason I always thought it was Don H. The reason I say that is because when Long Run came out and the part of King Of Hollywood, when he says "we gonna take care of you, darlin'" reminded me of the line "you in some trouble boy".
You've got me thinking and now I really want to know who it is! :hilarious:
Re: Talking in On the Border
I've always thought it was Don Henley. But ?
Re: Talking in On the Border
I dunno, it could be, but it doesn't sound like Don at all to me. I'll go ahead and throw another curve into the discussion - I believe the guys are trading off lines in the bridge as follows ...
Randy sings the line "Never mind your name."
Bernie sings the line "Never mind your face."
Glenn sings the lines "And we wanna know whose wing are you under?"
The voice that speaks "you in some trouble boy" sounds like the same voice that sings "Never mind your face" to me, so that's another reason I think it is Bernie.
Re: Talking in On the Border
I think it's Don. He can do those funky voices (see Garden of Allah) and the pronunciation sounds Texan to me.
Re: Talking in On the Border
I thought the same thing! I had to have three friends tell me it is really Don Henley, I thought it was felder:brickwall: Anyway, I love his voice when he changes it, Fast Company is a good one too. Yes very sexy voice:angel:

I thought for years it could have been Bill Szymczyk (I don't know why), but given that Henley is singing lead and the others all have their own lines, I don't see why Bernie would have been left out, and I agree with Dreamer that both voices in the lines she quotes sound similar and are probably Bernie.
I can see why people might think it's Henley because it sounds vaguely 'Southern' but remember Bernie grew up in the South too, even if he was born in Minnesota.
At the end when Henley says 'say goodnight Dick' does anyone think it sounds like Glenn may be saying it as well?

Well, I'm not sure who your friends are, SF, but with all due respect, how would they know any more about this than any of us do?
Again - I could be wrong, but it just sounds like a totally different voice than Don's to me. Even when he changes his voice in other songs like Garden of Allah or King of Hollywood, I can still detect that it is him. As far as accents, anyone can do those. One other reason that I think it's someone else (Bernie) is because the lyrics themselves suggest that it's someone other than the narrator speaking - they say "Out of nowhere, somebody cuts in and says, you in some trouble boy".
