    Days of Rage
    Los Angeles Musicians Talk Back to Critics

    Publication: Rolling Stone
    Date: June 15, 1978
    Abstract: Rolling Stone's version of the softball game grudge match where they were defeated by the Eagles. Pretty funny stuff. Also included: "A Glimpse of Life in the Fast Lane" by Charles Young.
    Download the article as .pdf
    Cynd, I think the game was actually played on May 6, 1978. The article about the game appeared in the June issue of Rollin' Stone magazine, so today is probably the day the magazine hit the newstands.

    I noticed that today is another pretty important date in Eagles' history. It was 32 years ago today that the Hotel California album hit #1 on the Billboard charts. It turned out to be a pretty significant album for the guys.

    Congratulations, Hotel California!

    I guessing that 32 years from now, people will still be familiar with this album.

    Lets see--32 years from now I will be 77 years old--Yup I should still be spreading the word of the Eagles and their music. After all, I've been spreading more than that many years already.

    Did anybody check out what today is? THE FIRST TIME THE ORIGINAL EAGLES EVER PLAYED TOGETHER! They weren't called the "Eagles" yet of course but it's still a pretty important date. It was 38 years ago today. Hard to believe!

    Always in our hearts, Never forgotten

    WOW!! Isn't it just? I bet while plenty of people would have said that the group performing had potential, I'm sure nobody realised to what heights they would soar over the next 4 decades. And that even tonight, they are still going strong in Manchester.

    Yes Soda, I did notice it. Glad you posted something about it here. I've been trying to post on and off all day, but kept getting interrupted with supposedly 'important stuff'.

    And GA, ITA. Who would've thunk it! Congratulations to the band on 38 incredible years!!! (Well, except for that 14 year vacation - but even then, their music just wouldn't die).
