Re: Expando and the Eagles
Well, I had also wondered about this, but hadn't gotten a chance to answer before now. I actually think most of the Expando tracks could have worked as Eagles song on LROOE with a few exceptions. It's funny, but a couple of songs that I don't think would work well have already been mentioned by a couple of people that think they would work. I can't see either Compassion, One More Mile, or Ella Jean working as Eagles songs. As far as White Boy from Sacramento, it could work, but I think using the 3 black females was a brilliant idea that probably works better than anything else you could ever do with the song. I think Friday Night, I Don't Mind, and Downtime could all possibly work with some rearranging i.e. I Don't Mind would need harmonies added to the chorus. Now, interestingly enough, the songs that I think would work best as Eagles songs are the ones that are among my favorites on the album. I guess it's no accident, but I didn't think about it until after I had picked them. I think Secular Praise, Parachute, Melancholy, and A Good Day would all be great Eagles songs with only a very few minor changes to the arrangements. I also agree that any of these four songs are superior to I Don't Want To Hear Any More. Nothing against Paul Carrack, but I just think it would have been preferable to have a song written by Tim on LROOE.

Re: Expando and the Eagles
And what about the line 'warm & fuzzy' in WBFS, which he relates to singing LWKUA, but which to me is a Borderism for Don & Glenn being nice to each other....
