I think I read somewhere that before the Eagles were known to anyone, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Jackson Browne all lived in the same apartment complex in Southern California....
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...

OR the local beer joint???
Bet they were some good evenings - musically ..<: <:
I used to hang at the Birchmere (Arlington VA) when it was a neighborhood bar and when the owner went ‘big time’ all of his LOYAL, LOCAL Drunks wished him well but many of us thought he was ruining himself by casting US aside....OH WELL.....
Well did he ruin himself?
Frey was a Detroit boy, sang backing vocals on Seger’s “Rambling, Gambling Man”
Jackson Browne rented the basement apartment below Henley and Frey. One day Frey woke up to Jackson Browne playing a snippet of a song over and over so Glenn went down stairs to ask him what he was working on and Jackson played the couple notes and the only lyric he had written down...
“I was standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona...”
That’s as far as he got. Frey took it and ran with it and gave Jackson Browne song writing credit for the inspiration.
