As for what would be cut, I can't help but think it would have been one from the trio of Teenage Jail, TGDWNF or The Disco Strangler, probably the former: I can imagine certainly Henley, Frey and Souther were all feeling very starkly what they wrote, whereas the other three I listed are pretty bang average, unremarkable filler. I believe Henley in the past has said of one of them that it was the epitome of how fed up they were at the time. The Long Run would be substantially weaker for TSC's exclusion. For me it doesn't have much going for it to start with!
