    I've said before, this is one of my favorite Eagles songs (in my top 5). I love the music, I love the lyrics, etc.... I guess I just love sleaze!! The lyrics just make you feel how sleazy this guy and this business is. Perfect!!!

    I really like this song musically, and I think the vibe of the music goes well with the lyrics. I just don't like the subject matter. I can listen to it once in awhile, but not often. I feel like I need to bathe after listening to it.
    The octave thing is an interesting and unusual choice, it gives it an eerie vibe. I agree about the icky subject matter being unpleasant, but I think the song is well done.

    I love it! Sleaze or not, I really don't pay that much attention to the lyrics. I love the guitars! It's dark, moody, sexy!
