    Very good point- and add to that that it's been years so memories fade or as happens at times, you "embellish" a story enough, you start to believe it as truth also.

    My question I've often thought about & was not answered last night & probably not tonight is if things were that bad with Felder, why when they reunited was he a part once again?

    I really need to pull out Heaven & Hell & read it in hopes that it will answer many of my questions. But I've never been sure how accurate it is.

    Well said, WW.

    Willie - I don't think you'll get your answer to your question in Felder's book. IIRC, I think he had made it clear to Irvin that he definitely wanted in if there was ever a reunion, but didn't go into much detail about him being invited back. I do recall in some HFO interviews that Glenn and/or Don H. stated that they felt the reunion would be more legitimate if all the former members returned. I guess they thought that enough time, maturing, and sobriety had taken place during the break that everyone deserved a second chance and would be able to get along much better. That is why Joe's return was contingent on his sobriety. I know that the reason that Glenn backed out of the reunion plans in 1990 is because he didn't think they were all in the 'right' place at the time.

    This is about the band.... but if they are getting into Joe's rehab, well that's pretty personal.
    The documentary is "the story of the band"...personal lives (wives etc ) really dont have anything to do with it. They GF and DH deceided to "tell the story about the band"
    As far as Joe goes,,,it is my understanding that the band wanted him back but he had to clean up his act.....This i have seen quoted in many interviews,,,,I think JW's biggest thing was VODKA.
    again jmo

    my sister asked me what my favorite part of it was...couldn't even answer her...loved every minute of it...I'll never hear Life in the Fast Lane again without thinking of Glenn and how he got the title!...I knew there were drugs but I guess I didn't realize how much!!

    I'll add more comments later but - there was a bit where Glenn was singing softly while playing guitar. I couldn't quite make out the words. Was anyone else able to? If so, was he singing a song by someone else or did we get to hear a bit of an Eagles outtake?

    Michele's husband Mike decided he wants to see Part 1 before Part 2, so they are coming over in a few minutes and we'll watch it again. I'll keep an eye out for it. Or ear, as the case may be.
