    Talking about funny parts- the part with Joe & the tin-foil on his head had me & hubby rolling. Especially when Glenn (or was it Don) seriously turned to him & asked "how do you relax, Joe?". I actually woke up thinking about that part this morning.

    Meant to ask-how did Brooke's hubby take watching the doc with two obsessed girlie fans?
    He sings it high, he plays it low

    Well I've just read 100 posts amd the whole doc sounds incredibly interesting and fun. I'm really looking forward to getting and seeing it! Although I guess from some of the comments that have been aired that Laura will be too young for it!!

    Can't wait for the release!

    Enjoy part 2 all of you who can get it!

    one week from tonight I'll be at Niagara Fallsview Casino to see Felder...It'll be strange seeing him live after watching him in this film...so curious as to what he will sound like...I know he can play, but as in the movie...can he sing?

    Oh yes, that part made me laugh! Glenn said something like "It's hard to keep from going crazy. How do you stay sane, Joe?" And as the camera swings to show him wrapped in tinfoil, he starts twitching as well. It was a regular comedy routine!

    As for Brooke's hubby - he likes the Eagles and he tolerated our squee-ing, but let's just say he went to bed early. lol

    I'm told we females think about this differently than guys do, but I agree that Felder did the right thing by bolting to his limo and avoiding a fight. Making the evening news would have been a bad thing all around. Whatever the reason, I'm eternally glad the 'Lindsay Lohan' moment was averted.

    I have to say, I was disappointed that Glenn added that the guitar Felder smashed was his cheapest guitar, and the derisive tone he used. Like it would make more sense to smash an expensive or well-loved guitar? Maybe only a guy can think like that? Whatever his reasoning, it would have been best left unsaid IMO.

    I did notice that as the story got to where things began to fall apart, they used After The Thrill Is Gone as the background music.
    Given that Felder quotes Glenn as saying those words, I can hardly be surprised or disappointed by it. He was saying that he thought Felder was 'cheap' and that it didn't surprise him that Felder would not smash an expensive guitar.

    Perhaps you should listen to his Road To Forever album. Surely you have heard Visions?

    The answer is that in my opinion he does not have an effective singing voice. He can sing in tune, but he cannot 'sell' the song. Perhaps he is better singing live, where you can see what he is doing.

    I think the Felder incident was just the straw that broke the camels back.

    I do think Heaven & Hell was a very good read. It did give me a lot more information about Don Felder, who I really knew very little about before reading it. As for it's accuracy? Well, it's accurate from Felders point of view. I guess Glenn & Don H would have a different take on it, but it is written by him, so to that extent it is accurate. I have to admit that I did have different feelings about him after reading it.
    Except that we now know that at least one story, about the recording of Victim Of Love, was changed to lessen Felder's humilation in that episode. How much else was changed?

    The thing that bothers me about it is that with Don Henley singing the song his almost total domination of the album became even more pronounced. But frankly, he is a better singer. I cannot imagine Felder singing it (even though I know that he sings it in his solo show).
