Don Henley once said that "Heart of the Matter" is his all-time most important work. I'm a teacher and prophet of God, and yes, "Heart of the Matter" IS Scriptural. If only Christians would learn what Yeshua One with Christ ("Jesus Christ") is REALLY teaching. (Hint: When God says "good news" God means GOOD NEWS!!!) The secrets of the Universe are just a "click" away. Namaste!

You're pretty invaluable just for bringing up all these performers and bands so we can go listen and love it all over again. Keeping track of all of them is a full time job. And you do great at it.

I vividly remember my mom always played Henley’s songs in the car when I was little. He’s so underrated.

Well done dude...very touching. Listening to Don Henley reminds me of my father as well. “The End of the Innocence” was a frequently played in my house and my Dad’s car. Sorry about your father. RIP.
