His mom caught him smoking weed in Seger’s basement and banned him from hanging out with him. So he packed his bags and headed to L.A.

And the rest is history.

It’s a shame, because in the 80s he really cleaned up his act and became a health nut. But he admitted the damage had already been done, and it wound up killing him.

This documentary was on Netflix a while back. It's 3 hours long is done by Henley and Frey. Lots of inside backstory stuff.

"Can you imagine the those 3 sitting around with buddies, drinking beer, smoking pot and playing tunes, especially if you were just a neighbor who knew all three..."

Jackson had his own scroungy place, without a bathroom, just above them. They said Jackson nearly ran them nuts playing the same tune over and over, each time with minor changes. The Eagles imitated Jackson's song writing style when they began writing the own songs, they said.

Yeah it is. I still plan on catching their next live tour show. Glenn’s son took over for him and they added Vince Gill.

It’s pretty interesting how they got Joe Walsh into rehab for a year, no less to get sober when they came back out on tour for the Hell Freezes Over Tour! Joe credits them with saving his life.

He made it to 81 and change, so he was above the median.

It doesn’t appear that way, ANYONE with any ‘talent’ makes ‘The Birchmere’, Alexandria their DC stop.

Same owner probably with some ‘new’ money etc...

I remember him when......Guess he would still charge me the regular admission were I try to get in.....HA HA
(I used to bartend there on an as needed basis..he needed a beertender or I ‘needed’ some cash..I was more better on the drinking side of the bar..<: <: <:)

Sorry for the ‘origin’ of this but it is a truthful recap..

IIRC, the only place in the movie where actual CGI (not green-screen) was used was when Jeff Bridges was floating down the bowling alley between the dancers’ legs. They had to make him narrower than he actually is in order to fit the normal dimensions of the dancers, and they used digital animation to do so.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I recently saw rock documentaries on Netflix on Rush and ZZ Top (both good)

and Travis Tritt convinced them to sit back down and talk after they had the rift.

Interesting how these things work out.

He had decent game.

One 21 footer and one close lay up does not make a decent game..........

“Henley and Frey played in Rheostat’s stage band. Both left together to start their own band which became the Eagles.”

IIRC so did Randy Meisner, the Eagles’ bassist.
