I often think of "Time passes, things change" now in certain applicable situations (and I agree that there are many). It makes me chuckle that one of the most memorable lines is actually Don quoting JD Souther.
Yep - "I guess" sticks with me a lot. Everytime I hear it, I think of the doc. I also like it when Tim says from his experiences every rock and roll band is always on the verge of breaking up. I'm sure he didn't mean that literally, but it does make you realize how volitile things can become in bands.

Whenever you hear the last two notes of Those Shoes, do you expect Rose of Cimarron to immediately follow?? I was watching some youtube videos of recent shows posted in the Eagles Videos thread, and right when TS ends and the lights go out, I'm expecting those country-sounding notes to follow!!
I definitely would have rather had more of songs like Already Gone, James Dean, Life In The Fast Lane, Victim Of Love, Hotel California, Those Shoes, Heartache Tonight, heck even The Long Run - than the ballads... I feel like Joe and DF could have done a lot more iconic guitar parts than just HC if the songs were designed for it.... They might not have surpassed their previous stuff but they could have done more of it. When you have the yin and yang of guitarists from two different approaches they play off of each other, and IMO that's better served on songs like LITFL or HC than songs like Wasted Time.... Not that I don't like that song, but I wish there had been a few more rockers in the HC/Long Run era. The Long Run IMO was a lot of filler. Hotel California and prior had very little.
It's a shame that those two can't work together outside of the Eagles camp... Maybe they can after HOTE tour and if they do end up retiring. But I think that will never happen while Joe's in the Eagles, and Don Felder is out. Not that I think the wrath would come down on Joe for it, but I don't see Joe as the type to want to potentially ruffle feathers, both the members of the band and Don Felder himself for that matter.
After watching HOTE I was very disappointed with how much time was given to Glenn and Don but very little to the other members of the band. I have never been a big Glenn fan but always loved Tequila Sunrise. After sitting in traffic and listening to Tequila sunrise I came up with my own lyrics. Sing along:
It's another Eagles Sunrise
Stealin money from the guys
The cash piles high
Tim and Joe are hired hands
Working for me every night
Their pay is light
Every night when the lights go up
My cameltoe is right there out in front
Don is a pain in the BUUUUUUUUUTTT
Felder was a better guitarist
And I couldn't keep from stealing his fame
I wanted his pay
Oh Bernie was a better singer
but we are no longer good friends
the beer never ends
Music by Bernie and Randy
Take another swing at Randy
Oh no the black eye is going to come
Hope the ice makes it numb
It's another Eagles Sunrise
Don and I are still the same
The fans still have to pay
Thank you very much
