That's a very good blog, SS. Your points are spot on. I hate when people intentionally disrespect the recently deceased. Of all 7 members, Glenn just seemed to ooze out coolness the most. It still doesn't seem real sometimes.

Even if "El Chingadero" is referring to Felder (I think it is), I don't see it as an insult. Quite the opposite. According to Felder the word is a bit like "m*****f*****" in English, which isn't always a negative word. Miles Davis always used the word when he really praised someone or something ("He played like a m*********").

But yeah, I think they just thought it was cool sounding and funny - not referring to Boyd Elder although that's probably where the word came from.

Thanks, AG. I thought it was just really shabby to trash the Eagles at this time.

A recent story on Boyd Elder with obligatory Eagles references: http://lonestarmusicmagazine.com/res...-greatest-hit/

OMG, the link to Bobby Fuller. Fascinating.

Is the opening paragraph of the article correct, that the first time our fellas performed together in public as the Eagles was on Easter Sunday 1972? That seems late. I mean their debut album was being released in like 5 minutes.

P.S. if PBS re-broadcasts "Children of Giant," a documentary on the making of the James Dean film and how it affected the people of Marfa, Boyd Elder appears in that. http://www.npr.org/2015/04/24/401967...st-segregation

Squirrel, you're a fine writer. I always enjoy reading your work. And looking at your avatar for lingering moments...

The Eagles had excellent taste in bass players, no debating that point.

JD Souther talks a bit about the Eagles: http://www.chicagotribune.com/entert...516-story.html

Thanks for the link, UtW.

Musically, JD seems more like Bernie, in that mega success wasn't a big goal of his.

I can see a life like JD's being a very good one. He must still be getting royalties from all those songs he wrote or co-wrote. He can do his own music, and not have to worry about being commercial. He most likely won't be hassled in the street all the time, or have the other problems of extreme fame.

JD dated Stevie Nicks? It seems that an awful lot of people have dated Stevie Nicks.
