"One of the lyrics is: "They don't respect us so let's surprise them. We'll drop the big one and pulverize them."
Yeah, we are dropping nukes faster than WalMart is dropping prices. I can't see Henley's target audience, let's say somewhere between 35 and 55, being energized to the point of singing along with these song lyrics. What is The Don thinking?
On the other hand, maybe he is stating the we "should" drop a Big One on France.
Head's Up Virginia. Maybe you can scam some free tickets and Freep 'em.
You should put MM on the back of that bus. He is fat enough to cause the paved road to give way and sink that bus!
Ronstadt used to hire musicians out of the musicians union in SOCAL to do tours with her. One of the groups that toured with her became the Eagles.
Make em all print right on their tickets and advertisments that "This is a Political Rally which may or may not include music by this artist" The consumer has a right to know.....
Mr. Henley.... There are consequence for the words you say. Free speech is not free. The price, you ask? Well if people do agree with what you are saying they have the right to boo or disagree or even walk out if the choose.. so to you and hollywood the 550,343 reminder... Free speech is not free.
HEY...DON!
SHUT UP AND SING
Don Henley should be booed for the music he unleashed on an unsuspecting populace in the 70s.
You go, OC!!! (a show of support from across the border in the People's Republic of L.A. County)
Some years back I heard that he is a sex freak and like his women fairly young (teens). This was just what I heard so I can't confirm that it is true. However, the person that told me this was a former model and swung with that crowd. I should add this person was not one of my close friends and I did not hang out with her.
Everybody who disagrees with THEM is now considered uncivil.
Don Henley will need to jog my memory and cite some examples when he paid to sit in an audience and that he quietly suffered the "conservative" political comments made by an entertainer from the stage.
Hippie maggots used to co-opt the stages of free concerts in the 1960s to turn them into political rallies but the crowd was not there to be indoctrinated, they were there to hustle chicks, score dope, and relax.
It is called "debate", isn't the audience is permitted to voice their displeasure?
These libs need to start indicating in promotional litter-ature for these concerts that they are in actuality liberal political rallies, a portion of which will include stage time railing against the President and in favor of traitors who support the terrorists in Iraq (people like Michael Moore).
Linda Ronstadt had also been making her Michael Moore LOVE dedication every show, it just wasn't until Las Vegas that it made print (the management shut the show down).
"Since when is having the sole speaking platform a debate? People booed, which was the only way for them to show their displeasure. There was no debate, it was simply someone using the time that they should spend singing talking."
Bravo! This is so to the point and precisely the point.
Well Lloyd Bensten is on record as urging the public to tell Congress that they should use the nuclear bomb in Korea, the footage is in the film "The Atomic Cafe". I wonder if Mr. Henley endorsed Dukakis-Bentsen in 1988. I certainly doubt he wanted Bush-Quayle.
Radicals and Refuse? I question whether the Eagles, Don Henley, or Linda Ronstadt are/were rock and roll ;)
