Ugh, I am like the Dude in the Big Lebowski. I cannot STAND the Eagles, I utterly hate that band with a passion. When any of their songs come on the radio, I shut it off as fast as possible. Freakin’ cliched bone headed lounge music crap songs that instantly give me a headache. The military should get rid of water boarding and instead play the song “I can’t tell you why” to get terrorists to give up info. Just 6 seconds into that song they would be screaming out info, or “Hotel California” How the hell did that nightmare come into being? “Hey let’s write a song where we play the most cliched chord progressions ever conceived over and over and over and over and over until peoples heads explode”
>>For Springsteen’s 2023 U.S. tour, the mean average price for most tickets was $213, sources close to the sale tell Billboard. That’s a 33 percent increase from the 2016 tour, where tickets were an average of $159 a piece when factoring in inflation. If the much higher-priced Platinum seats are factored in, however, the average price rises to $265 per ticket. That’s less than the price for Springsteen’s Broadway run, which averaged $424 a ticket, according to Billboard Boxscore.
Despite some outrage over prices, fans bought up the 75,000 to 80,000 tickets on sale Wednesday for concerts in Florida, Oklahoma and Colorado. Based on the ticket price, Springsteen stands to earn about $4 million per show – and as much as $120 million for the U.S. leg of the tour.
For years Springsteen fans have said they felt that they always had a shot at buying front-row tickets for less than $200, but over the years it became almost impossible to compete with the increasingly sophisticated operations of scalpers, which deploy bots and code to buy up the best tickets in seconds. As a result, Ticketmaster, which itself operates one of the world’s largest resale marketplaces, has advised artists to raise the price of seats that would be most appealing to the secondary market.
Springsteen has yet to publicly address the controversy.

I agree with you, it is catchy;-)
I can’t stand them either.
that’s too funny!!! I hate U2 equally.
Oh, now...you gotta love “The Disco Strangler”.
;D
Don Felder did steal the progression from "We Used to Know" by Jethro Tull, but I-V-vi-IV is the most cliched chord progression as is entertainingly displayed in the video linked below. (Incidentally, the short dark-haired guy in the video is now a "she.")
Stay out of Malibu.
Great scene.
