Sorry, but I cannot pass on my certain Eagle of choice! I'm afraid he might be broken by the time I should send him on!

He sings it high, he plays it low
Last night we were finally relaxing, I with a book and Larry was flipping channels, he stopped on something (I do not remember what show it was) and the guy says "Shakespeare said it right, kill all the lawyers". So of course, I start singing " Old Billy was right, lets kill all the lawyers, kill them tonight." Larry looked at me and started laughing. I said "you know, William Shakespeare, Billy!"... I love this part... Larry says "those Eagles really are smart guys aren't they?" Well duh!!!

I am rusty on my Shakespeare, so I never thought of this at all! Way cool...Don writes some of the most intelligent lyrics ever!
One quick Inaugural Eagles-worthy note: the "village" of porta-potties on the Mall in DC were called Don's Johns!
TBF - I was also always curious about that line in Get Over It so I did a web search a few years ago, and had my memory 'refreshed' that the line was from Shakespeare. Too cool!
And ev - I agree that Don writes incredibly intelligent lyrics. However, I could be wrong, but I'm not sure that we can automatically attribute the line in the song to him. Just an observation, but Glenn co-wrote the song with Don and I don't ever remember reading that Don wrote all the lyrics. Actually, I always got the impression from the HFO DVD that Glenn contributed to the lyrics in the segment where Don is writing down the lyrics as Glenn recites them. I was just curious if you had read/heard this somewhere or were you just making an assumption about this?

Not trying to offend anybody.
Well, maybe it would help if you would take a few minutes to try to read people's posts a bit more carefully, rather than being so quick to respond to virtually every post. When people jump to the gun so quickly just to respond to someone, it can cause them to draw the wrong conclusion about what they mean.
