Their offending the ivory tower crowd with the "creative capitalism" and "politically incorrect" thing is just one more reason I believe I'll have to buy this CD. ;-)
..... The worst of them, though appears on Disc two. Three songs almost in a row, “Long Road Out of Eden.” “Somebody,” and “Frail Grasp on the Big Picture” all go for scolding America, Americans, and just about everything that we are. Calling us an “empire” and basically calling every American stupid, the Eagles paint a grim picture of the very people who they are asking to spend $12 bucks at WallMart for the privilege of being called idiots by these aging rockers.

I went to Amazon.com to read reviews on the Eagle’s new album. From some of the lower ratings, it sounds as though the Eagle’s make some political statements in some of the songs that are anything BUT politically incorrect. A couple comments I read said that they have some songs on the CD that are anti-American, anti-Bush. I have no problem with their decision to sell exclusively through Wal-Mart. However, if these reviews are true, I do have a problem with a band, no matter how big, that feels the need to bash our country and president, and in general spew the liberal line.
Good morning Allegra from foggy California. How are things going over there in Iraq.
Eagles up!
