Eagles Mentions in the Press (2006 - 2017)

[NYC Fan]

No matter how hard I try I can't imagine Don using the word 'mate'

[B]

It's a word that gets a lot of usage in certain parts of the UK - but is it also used in US? somehow it just doesn't seem right.....

That jumped out at me too. I can't imagine a good Texas boy like Don using the word mate. Agree that maybe he was localizing it. I have a friend who lives in England that I travel with, a boss who is originally from Dublin, and I probably watch way too much British TV. I find myself unconsciously using words and phrases I've picked up that I know are very Irish and English. But it does crack me up thinking of him saying that in his Texas twang

And no, it's not regularly used in the US, that I know of. At least not in NY.

I hope he said it in a dodgy London accent like Bill Symczyk * did in HOTE (when discussing his phone call to Glyn Johns)

* - no idea how you spell it!

There wasn't any need to use a London accent when he was talking to a New Zealander. The word is far more common in Australia, though, or at least that is what I assumed.

Wow! This is, of course, separate from the 'rules' that have been laid down since then, and nothing to do with our guys at all. It just happened at their concert in Minneapolis last year.

Pretty vague on the details ... hard to say what really happened there.

Heaven knows security can go on power trips and be heavy-handed - I had one grab my arm one time - but getting physical to that degree, with REAL police (as opposed to rent-a-cops) and an arrest? I suspect she was drunk or high, and acting really out of control.

Great pic of the guys TMZ used!!

I like that he acknowledges a couple of common criticisms of the doc:

Guitarist Joe Walsh has his rehab documented by the documentary.
“One thing in the documentary that is a little bit unfair is that he certainly wasn’t the only one who had problems,” Henley says. “We all did. But he chose to speak about his a little more freely than the rest of us and that’s his right to do that. We were all right there with him.”

and

Don Felder has claimed that the feuding between Frey and Henley has been downplayed in the film.“To a degree,’ Henley admits. “There really hasn’t been too much to that, there’s certainly none of it on film. We have had our differences, we still do, but we’re a lot like brothers. We fight but we’re still family.

I had the same thoughts when I read those criticisms, UtW.
