    Don was amazing. So funny, articulate and intelligent. His speaking voice is like dark chocolate. He paid a great tribute to Dolly and I loved what he said about George Jones. I think he must have a photographic memory because he can quote verbatim. He's just fantastic. It was a great interview.
    ...Well it sure makes you wonder the things that some people will say. They can see black and white but they don't seem to notice the grey...

    I know, DD. Don is a walking quotes man. I just can't believe he remembers the exact quote and who says it. And he didn't even paused to collect his thought on what the quote actually says. I'm going to look for the Last Child in The Woods. He said we should read it. I'll listen to you, Don. LOL

    Poor Dolly. I couldn't tell in the video she was sick. You couldn't tell in her voice either. Heck. I like the video better than the single.

    Well my son is in the process of driving to Austin for a race this weekend. He called me this morning to say they were driving through Nashville. I was shocked they weren't planning on stopping IN Nashville.
    Well they decided to listen to me & stop to walk around. He said he was having a BLAST there.
    Then he texted me to inform me that I will probably hate him but while walking around they saw a big group of people just standing around so he asked what was happening & was told Don Henley was making an appearance. He mentioned that he was going to see Don in November which didn't go over well with the girlfriend since she wasn't..ummm...invited along. Then he texted me he was in the same room as Don.
    I haven't heard from him since so I don't know what all happened. His phone probably died.

    Your son was so lucky.

    Here's an article from this afternoon. They talk about Dolly being in the hospital before the video shoot.

    This is a good article. Some key points from this afternoon. I have to say. I really enjoyed the interview. Even though I heard most of the stuff he said in the documentary, it was cool to hear more or in depth from the documentary.

    Thanx for your transcript, shun. Here's a piece from a paper that just mentions Don. But it's the first time Shakey Graves has been in same article as an Eagle.

    I love Shakey but can't stand the song he always performs on TV with Esme Patterson. I don't think it represents him at all.
