I'm glad the 'mood' of He Who Must Be Obeyed lifted ever so slightly since leaving Taiwain.

He Who Must Be Obeyed

I assume you're talking about Glenn. I have to say, if he truly had that attitude, he would be a huge jerk and absolutely unendurable to be around for more than five minutes!

I assume you're talking about Glenn. I have to say, if he truly had that attitude, he would be a huge jerk and absolutely unendurable to be around for more than five minutes!

The reference is to H. Rider Haggard's book She:

However, unlike the "benign" Victoria, the question of female authority is realised to the extreme in the figure of She-who-must-be-obeyed, whose autonomous will seemingly embodies Victorian anti-feminist fears of New Women desiring 'absolute personal independence coupled with supreme power over men'.[73] Haggard constantly emphasises this anxiety over female authority in She, so that even the rationally minded and misogynistic Holly, who has put his "heart away from such vanity as woman's loveliness", ultimately falls upon his knees and worships Ayesha "as never woman was worshipped".[74] Similarly, although the masculine and chivalric Leo is determined to reject Ayesha for killing the devoted native girl Ustane, he too quickly falls under her will. In fact, Ayesha's absolute command over the male sex is one of the most startling and unnerving aspects of the story.[75]

I thought the reference was more widely known than it apparently is. It is well known in Britain through the TV series Rumpole of the Bailey where the main character, a lawyer, refers to his wife as She Who Must Be Obeyed.

I wasn't being entirely serious; it's just the 'In Charge' thing I meant.

[sodascouts]

Yes, I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with the reference, obviously.

"In Charge" is all well and good but it must stop short of "unreasonable, overbearing a-hole who needs to boss people around to prove he's the 'big man.'" Luckily I believe Glenn isn't the type of man that insists on having his way all the time. Those kind of men have psychological issues, lol.

The Eagles Perform in China Mainland for the First Time

Good find, Koala, and thanks for the post. While it's more about the impressions of the fans who were there as opposed to a genuine 'review' (and no mention of the set list), it's good to know how well-received our boys are over there. I found the following line particularly humorous .. we already know their live performances are a parallel to the 'original production'!

In order to let the Chinese audience listen to purely raw Eagles, the band performed almost completely according to the original production.

Other than classic hits such as "Hotel California," and "Desperado," fans also were treated to solo hits from band members such as "Boys Of Summer," "Life In The Fast Lane," and "Dirty Laundry."

I never knew that LITFL wasn't one of the band's songs. Wasn't it on Hotel California?
