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

Gooses! Geeses!
I want my geese to lay gold eggs for Easter!

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.
Jesus, man can you change the channel…i’ve had a rough night and i hate the effin Eagles, man

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?
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
***** 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!

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

wow, looks like Donnie boy has not changed! y’all are lucky this site is still up and he has not gotten his attack dog Irving Azoff to sue to have it taken down. My husband used to work for the Eagles during their 70’s heyday, boy some of the crazy drug fueled things they would do he’s told me. Anyway, he has said on more than a few occasions what an ******* Henley was. Major grade A JERK! None of the road crew like Henley. They all loved Joe-funny guy–very nice, Glenn–heart of gold, Don FELDER–another nice guy with a big heart, and Randy–one of the nicest quietest politest men he’s ever met, but Henley was an Grade A #1 ASS. Looks like he hasn’t changed much so you cant blame it on the cocaine he did. He still say to this day DH is the reason the band broke up because he was/is such an arrogant controlling LITTLE *****. when all the others just wanted to, for the most part, was to just play their music, Henley was always stirring to pot and starting sh*t.
And to “md” i showed my husband your post about the EARLY party, he said it did not surprise him one bit. He said Don was probably just pissed y’all weren’t playing “Witchy Woman” or “One of These Nights.”
old roadies wife@ June 13th, 2008 at 5:39 am
Change that to MASSIVE amounts of Cocaine Henley did. Huge! And he is still jerk even though he is drug free. Must be something in his DNA and the grumpy old guy cant help it.
Has-been.

“Vivaaa Viagra”
Jesus, man can you change the channel…i’ve had a rough night and i hate the effin Eagles, man
