Here's a small part of an article on singing drummers:

Still, other singing drummers have thrived for long periods, as Don Henley did with The Eagles. While keeping time for the country-rock giants, he shared vocals with Glenn Frey, providing the lead line on some of the band's best-known numbers, among them “Hotel California”, “Desperado” and “Life in the Fast Lane”. Moreover, he made the combination of percussion and vocals look effortless, aided somewhat by a frill-free drumming style that he admits was inspired by Starr.

He was influenced by Ringo Starr?? I didn't know that. I never thought Starr was much of a drummer but I guess since he's a Beatle he's going to be a focus for people like Don.

Cool, thanks for posting that.

I was looking on Yahoo and there was an article on Best 10 Moments from last night's show. Don is mention twice at no. 9 and no. 1.

That's nice that he's mentioned but there's not much more than mentions. In number 9 he's just listed as one of the people who sang before Garth Brooks ~ Garth Brooks is the highlight in their minds I guess ~ unbelievable that Garth Brooks gets more attention from them than Don does. Then in number 1 it just lists him as being one of the people who joined Rufus Wainwright onstage. Wainwright is called 'elegant' but nothing said about Don.

As usual Rolling Stone blows it.

True, but WE know he did a fantastic job, and so do normal people (not RS) who watched it.

Not sure where to post this but it's an interview with Don that covers his album, the tour and the digital era.

Saw this had been posted on another thread but for the life of me, I can't find it now as I wanted to add my impressions so will do it here.

Sad to hear that there will be no new Eagles songs.

Gotta say I love the way Don expresses himself – he’s always so articulate and to the point, e.g. ‘The genie is so far out of the bottle that there's really no putting it back in.’

'''They spread the money and the propaganda around like manna, employing their favorite buzz words like "innovation."'

He’s so right about buzz words. These occur in every field. Community, education, society. And stupid people grab onto them immediately and won't let go till the next one comes around. Where I live is it’s been ‘Partnership’, ‘Initiative’, ‘Strategy’. Check out this blurb from my local council. They’ve got some new ones but some remain the same. Do you suppose it’s whatever nonsense is trending on Twitter?


‘The Council prides itself on being innovative when it comes to making life better in the borough. From this section we provide reports on initiatives that we are particularly proud of and want to share with you. These link to the long-term vision of 'Bexley Together' - Bexley's sustainable community strategy. The strategy sets out a vision to build a strong, sustainable and cohesive community.’

And also in Eagles Press (another obvious place) which was where I saw it - found it again today. Mea culpa.
