    You're welcome, ETG! I love seeing those medallions.

    Happy 44th Desperado! An utterly, utterly wonderful album. From the lonesome harmonica that starts it to the rousing harmonies that end it, through the folk, country and rock that lie in between it's a delight to listen to.

    My personal highlights are the perfectly-crafted Tequila Sunrise, the despondent but beautiful Saturday Night and the soaring aforementioned closer. My absolute favourite in the Eagles's discography.

    Lots of Birthday Love for DESPERADO! I was in the fifth grade when this came out! Most things you liked that young don't carry on to adulthood. But their music has appeal on so many different levels. The lyrics have more depth the older you get. And they were so young! A band ( and album) for all time!

    I've never thought about this before, but where does "Bitter creek" fit in in the rock'n'roller analogy? The final verse sounds like a reunion/farewell tour and cashing in.

    Without giving it much thought (it's a Friday and I've just finished work! ) I would say it deals with the allure and draw of the rock and roll lifestyle; making your own way etc: not too dissimilar from some of the aspects in Certain Kind of Fool. The lines that stand out for me are 'Out where the desert meets the sky...' (the escapism) and 'I can't wait to see the old man's face...' (the sort of dreams of what they could accomplish).

    Happy 45th Birthday to Desperado. This was also not one of my favorite albums for a while, but it has started to grow on me.

    Other than Desperado, I love Doolin Dalton, Doolin Dalton/Desperado reprise and Tequila Sunrise.

    Brothers for life. RIP Glenn

    I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some." -Don Henley
