    [QUOTE=NightMistBlue;308799]He sure is, and classy too. His acceptance speech at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame was so impressive; showed what kind of man he is
    Yes, he really is a class act. I loved that speech, too, brief as it was!

    I'm not keen on tattoos for myself, but I too am impressed with WW's lovely EAGLES ink! It looks great.

    Very tasteful tattoo, WW. I thought for sure you had gotten a cow skull, like the One of These Nights cover (not that there's anything wrong with that).

    I'm not brave enough for a tattoo either!

    WW, yours is nice!

    I didn't start appreciating the Eagles until a few years ago. Of course I was well aware of who they were but never paid much attention to them. At the time I belonged to a fanfic community and this girl used part of the verse from Victim of Love to summarise the story. I loved the sentence and went looking for the lyrics on the net. Then I bought the greatest hits CD LOL. Been a fan since.

    Love their solo stuff too. Although I lean towards Timothy since I love his voice, I can't pick a true fave because each of these fellas have so much to offer with their solo work. One week I'm on a Joe kick. Another week it's a Randy kick. Then a Glenn kick. The Eagles rock

    I see the documentary as being like a good drama where you get interested in the characters as much as the plot. I used to listen to a song without thinking about how it was put together, but now I can appreciate the different parts contributed by different members. I can hear Randy's voice cutting through the high harmonies, the difference between Joe Walsh and Don Felder on lead guitar, those tasty licks from Glenn on the early records, the banjo and so on. Knowing how much thought and effort went into playing the music also helps because I now know that it wasn't just natural talent. To a certain extent they were committed, hard-working guys making the most of the talents and opportunities they were given and that makes them more relateable. I can also marvel at how good they could sound together even when they weren't getting along socially. Sometimes I want to see how the sausage is made.
