    Two quotes from Joe:

    "All I want to do is go down as being a valid creative person for the generation I represent. Than's my job on the planet."

    "Henley and Frey are really gifted guys. I love playing guitar when Henley is singing--it's a privilege. The guy's got an amazing voice."

    I LOVE that one! It's nice to know that we're not the only ones who are in awe of his voice. It's nice to hear when the guys are so appreciative of each other's talents even after so many years.

    Hmmm - I wonder if I could invite .... Oh nevermind!!!!!

    And OBTW tlr - I love "Whose guitar is this"!

    Since we were talking about J.D. Souther's new CD and tour in another thread, here is a quote from J.D. about the guys:

    "Glenn is a great natural country singer, and Henley brought that R&B sensibility to the table with him. Don could sing anything he wrapped his voice around. That insanely beautiful voice, like 400-grain sandpaper, rough but fine, was incredible to hear."

    No kidding - only a twenty-something hormone-raging rock star like hot little Glenn would liken eating a cheeseburger to having sex.

    And OBTW - I'm loving all these quotes! Here's my next contribution:

    Question: Will the Eagles ever reunite?

    Answer: "Never. They say, 'Never say never.' Well, you can print it. It will never happen."
    (Glenn Frey - Oui 1982)
