Mojo Nixon:
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!
Turn on the TV
And what did I see?
This bloated hairy thing
Winning a Grammy
Best Rock Vocalist?
Compared to what?

(”Don Henley Must Die”. At one of Nixon’s shows Henley actually showed up—so they changed the lyric to be about another celeb)

Wiki:
. On this album, Nixon continued his assault on pop culture, as in the song “Don Henley Must Die”, which caused a fresh round of controversy, even to the point of Nixon’s record company begging radio stations not to play it.(Henley himself was unfazed; on July 31, 1992, at The Hole in the Wall in Austin, Texas, the former Eagle jumped onstage and performed the song with Nixon, causing Nixon to praise Henley as having “balls as big as church bells.”
