Love it!
Fleetwood Mac is the only other band I use for my classes (typically Stevie's lyrics) - although I'm sure Bono - and any other sophisticated lyricists - would work just as well!

Bobby just got this album.
Bobby said "you'd like this...he sounds like Don Henley."
The first song he played me did not have me convinced. haha
I know Don's voice too well.
But this song in particular does remind me of Boys of Summer.
they've been compared to Don Henley, Bruce Springstein, Tom Waite, Dire Straits...
anyway...from what I've heard...it is a nice airy summery 80s sounding album.
:thumbsup:
ETA: just heard another song that sounds like Young Turks by Rod Stewart
I got a brochure in the mail this week from my local Bon Secours hospital. I was going to toss it, but decided to browse through it first. Something caught my eye on page 4 - a write up about the ER titled Life in the Fast Lane. SWEET when you can turn the ER into something positive!
Speaking of Life in the Fast Lane... I was just watching an episode of Doctor Who called "Gridlock" where a couple is so desperate to get into the "fast lane" (which requires three passengers - an HOV lane essentially) that they kidnap someone! SPOILER ALERT: Turns out the fast lane is full of monsters anyway. ;)
Soda, too cool you can incorporate Eagles stuff in to work!
Don't ask me how to diagram a sentence though! It's been way too long! :fear:
I had to refresh my memory, too. I spent as many hours prepping for that class as I did teaching it. I have an instinct for grammar which has served me well as both a teacher and an editor; I just know where to put the commas and all that jazz without even thinking about it. However, when you have to actually EXPLAIN the intricacies of grammar and the logic behind the construction of the English language (which sometimes isn't so logical), it becomes a lot harder.
I had a couple occasions on our trip where I was reminded of the Eagles, Don H, and you Borderers!
Stopped for a quick lunch here in South Dakota:

I was surprised to hear what my husband's cousin sang here:

I knew he could do the Eagles songs! I've watched this guy grow up and become an amazing singer! No, they're not the Eagles, but they are a top-notch act in Branson! He just signed on with them!
