I saw this earlier today and got distracted, it popped up on MSN. Took a while to find it again! Our guys make the list of highest paid celebrities (not just artists, but all celebrities).

You can't change the world but you can change yourself.
I'm not sure if Glenn and particularly Don would call themselves celebrities. Famous musicians?, yes but I'd say that they mostly shun the celeb stuff.
Even Joe, who's always mixing with the hoi palloi, is in it purely for the music, not the acclaim.
I'm with you on that F50. I would personally describe Joe as a rock star, but not really a celebrity. Glenn and Don might make 'rock star' status at a bit of a push (if anything Don has the stronger case as his solo career was the more successful), although I'd say they were probably around the same level as Roger Waters and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd, like the Eagles, were a rather anti-rock star sort of band). I consider those four famous rock musicians but not quite rock stars. The other Eagles are respected rock or country-rock musicians but I don't they can be considered celebrities by any stretch of the imagination.
I guess the pecking order would be something like this:
- Celebrities (extremely widely recognised music stars, e.g. Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney).
- Rock stars (well known and recognisable to music fans if slightly less prominent in the eye of the general public or more interested in music than celebrity, e.g. Joe, Neil Young).
- Famous rock musicians (generally the most prominent members of famous bands who tried to avoid the celebrity spotlight, e.g. Don H, Glenn, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, or the less prominent members of 'rock star' bands, e.g. John Paul Jones).
- Respected rock musicians (the less prominent members of famous bands, e.g. Tim, Randy, Bernie, Don F; generally those who do not sing lead very often or at all, or otherwise ).
Some of the names might be debatable as to where they stand but I think this a fair assessment.
An article that starts off talking about the lyrics to Take It Easy, but then talks about 7 women who have been important to the band members(mostly Don Henley). I didn't know about #4.

And another... It seems Glenn ordered up cheesesteaks for the Eagles when in town last September to open Allentown's new arena.
