Confessions....Eagles?
Sep 12^th, 2010 at 9:51am

i had a frightening experience last night.

we played a local fall festival in the suburbs last night, and during our first break, the organizer of the event, who is, despite his musical selection, a great guy, popped in a tune that caught my ear. it was a version of one of my favorite tom waits tunes, ol 55. i sat there listening to the tune and enjoying it very much for about 45 seconds or so...strong harmonies...nice strings....not as good as the original of course but very entertaining nonetheless. i decided to approach the organizer to see who the band was that was covering one of my favorite tunes in such an admirable fashion.

then it hit me, like a ton of bricks....like the lee press on fingernails of a thousand high school teenagers being scraped across a huge chalkboard: the unmistakable coked out cackle of don henley.

i was shocked. i was dismayed. it was like taking a sip of a nice cool drink of water, only to find out that joey had peed in my glass just a minute before. i felt like such a sinner.

has anyone else heard this song? if so, can you tell me howe could i have been so taken in by the pretty vocals and nice arrangement....an arrangement that sounded nothing like the hell blather of the eagles? my god...i feel like i consumed a third of a liter of vodka and woke up the next morning snuggling with pavlov's dog.

Once you are here-it's expected you stay. Why waste long cultivated posting skills somewhere else? The outside world will not understand." -Nellie

Reply #2 - Sep 12^th, 2010 at 12:59pm Your a little late Bucky. The Eagles first did this in 1974. Like Glenn Frey said. Tom didn't like their version much. Than he started getting the checks.....Then he didn't mind it so much. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaC_cChs6hA

Reply #7 - Sep 13^th, 2010 at 3:33pm I'm actually a closet I'd-rather-listen-to-something-like-the-eagles-then-tom-waits person. I've tried, but I if want drama, I'll listen to Liza Minelli. As for the Eagles, it was nice on the radio when I was a kid and damned if just don't love the guitar in New Kid in Town.
