Re: Today in Eagles History
And the other notable change, instead of 'some say there's a Jesus/some that say there ain't' is 'some men pray to Jesus/ask him please relieve my pain' (sic). I knew about that because the old tape I have of the song in Australia at the start of 1976 includes those changes.
Re: Today in Eagles History
Yes, FP. That's the other change I was referring to. I can't decide which version I like better, but I do think I prefer the "56 Chevrolet" line. Do you know which way it was written originally?
Re: Today in Eagles History
I like the change in those lyrics better than the original ones. The "relieve my pain" lyrics definitely convey more of a sense of desperation and despair than the original "some say there is / some say there ain't / when you got no life to lose then there's nothing left to gain." The original lyrics seem to be saying "I don't care anymore - I've given up." The changed ones seem to be saying "I still care and it's torturing me." That adds a deeper shading to the song, which in this version ends with an anguished "It only looks like rain, it only looks like rain."

I would think that 'I was riding night and day' is the original line.

I thought it would be fun to create a new thread for our memories, so I did so here:

Re: Today in Eagles History
You know, as I did the "Today in Eagles History" for Sept. 11, I remembered the 9/11 attacks which happened 8 years ago today. At first I thought I couldn't really call it an event in Eagles history but then I realized it affected them strongly, as it affected all of us, and inspired them to write Hole in the World. I changed the day's status accordingly.

Re: Today in Eagles History
I noticed on the Today in Eagles History calendar that in 1965 Timothy was attacked by a female fan hired by his manager while he was in The New Breed. I thought that was hilarious. I have never heard this one before, but I take it that his band must have been struggling a bit if the manager had to recruit females to attack the members. :lol:
