Don Henley Says Something Extremely Obvious, Continues Being Terrible

Amy Winehouse and Britney Spears need to go to rehab?  Managers and various hangers-on aren’t willing to tell musicians what they need to hear? You think so, doctor? Updated list of things Don Henley is bad at:

  • Writing songs
  • Singing songs
  • Drumming
  • Extemporaneous speech
  • Cogent thought

    Add “Responding to media coverage.” Be prepared. He’s probably already got his lawyers preparing a nasty letter telling you about his right to privacy. Those same lawyers are paid with money from Henley’s record/CD sales.

    You should interview the people remodeling/decorating his house. I hear the job is living hell…and that it has been going on for some time.

    People with more money than sense and nothing better to do.

    True Story: I once attended a party at the trust-fund-son home of Henley’s neighbor. No kidding, he (or someone at his place) called the cops because the music was too loud. The offending tunes were coming from a portable CD player we had carried out back from the garage. It was about 8:45 on a Satuday night and as I recall it was a Pavement record.

    I would rather be featured on “To Catch a Predator” than in an Eagles video.

    Rock n’ Roll for people who don’t want to rock.

    How ’bout Mr. Crain gives them the old S.o.K treatment?

  • Sean

    How much plastic surgery has he had?

  • Zac Crain

    md: I’ll do another SoK soon, but probably not on the Eagles. That’s a layup. I like to work for my points.

    He’s a tortured artist
    Used to be in the Eagles
    Now he whines
    Like a wounded beagle
    Poet of despair!
    Pumped up with hot air!
    He’s serious, pretentious
    And I just don’t care
    Don Henley must die!
    Don’t let him get back together
    With Glenn Frey!
    Don Henley must die!

    Don Henley must die!
    Put a sharp stick in his eye!
    Don Henley must die!

    Quit playin’ that crap
    You’re out of the band

    I’m only kidding
    Can’t you tell?
    I love his sensitive music
    Idiot poetry, swell
    You and your kind
    Are killing rock and roll
    It’s not because you are O L D
    It’s cause you ain’t got no soul!
    Don’t be afraid of fun
    Loosen up your ponytail!
    Be wild, young, free and dumb
    Get your head out of your tail
    Don Henley must die!
    Don’t let him get back together
    With Glenn Frey!

    Don Henley must die!
    Put him in the electric chair
    Watch him fry!
    Don Henley must die
    Don Henley must die
    No Eagles reunion
    The same goes for you, Sting!

    Zac Crain:
    Charles Oakley- YES
    Del Curry/Steve Kerr- NO

    Don Henley had my two love child. With all apologies to Debbie Gibson and Skid Roper.

  • mm

    So he’s a grumpy old man. But extrapolating that to him not being a good singer/songwriter is ridiculous.

  • Zac Crain

    I think that’s a chicken/egg thing, mm. Was he a terrible singer-songwriter before he was a grumpy old man, or was he grumpy before he became a terrible singer-songwriter? Without access to a wormhole or a Delorean, I’ll never know for sure, so I’ll just say yes.

    Puddin’:

    The house renovation began around the time he bought it — which was @ 1992. It’s still not finished. In the meantime he has added at least two neighboriung properties to his Dallas Compound.
