Discussion of Eagles Documentary "History of the Eagles"

That timeline makes sense.

Thank you, Mary and Soda.

Hadn't watched this in a while, so when I was home the other day and hibernating, it was a perfect way to spend the afternoon with friends!
And then to hear about the earthquakes happening in Texas in the Dallas area, and wondering if Don felt any of the quakes at his home out there! Poor guy, first his LA home is destroyed by that quake years ago, and now to have quakes out in Texas of all places!

[sodascouts]

Yeah, let's hope Don didn't get too shook up!

I need to sit down and watch that documentary again. It seems every time I watch it, I notice something new.

A review, two years after the fact, of the movie. This guy, at least, admits upfront that he doesn't like the Eagles and watched the movie with the intention of finding the negative.

My local football club just happens to be Manchester United.

TV producers have said that their biggest football audiences, by a huge margin, are when they broadcast a live match featuring the reds. Apparently the majority of the audience tune in to see them lose.

I think you have to have a sneaking admiration otherwise why would you give them the time of day?

Please don't say this, F50, as I often watch the Dallas Cowboys in order to see them lose!

Sorry, NO. Of course I am happy when that team loses. That doesn't mean I would watch their games just in case. I support Liverpool.

Felder asks for more money, and Henley counter-proposes that Felder no longer be in the band, so Felder’s out,

I don't know where this comes from. Frey made the decision & Henley agreed with it. It's in the Rolling Stone cover story.

The comments of course were all related to the now mind numbing Dude stuff. Go away, if that's all you can do.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeh - so typical. The guys gives a scathing review and then all the comments are about the "Dude" - they're not remotely interested in discussing the documentary - just want to talk about how cool the "Dude" is. <yawn>

Here's one - when Randy is discussing TITTL and its meaning, he seems to be a bit displeased when he's talking about it (and how it 'took its course') - anyone know anything about this: was it heavily altered by Don H / Glenn?

I wondered about this myself, but it's so hard to tell if Randy is expressing displeasure with the finished song OR if it's because he's very uncomfortable being interviewed. I tend to think it's the latter. To me, his body language is saying, "Get me out of here."

I would also like to know how much of the song he wrote. Originally, his name was first in the writing credits IIRC, which indicates he was the primary writer.
