Glenn Frey (especially) didn't want you to call them THE Eagles; just "Eagles." But like most, "The Eagles" always rolls off my tongue. I was in the U.S. Navy in the 1970's and had the wonderful opportunity to see them live IN California (San Diego) on the "Hotel California" tour. I'm living a very blessed life, and Don Henley and (the) Eagles have been a vital part of my life's sound track. An Eagles album was my first album, and Don Henley has always been my favorite vocalist. I don't receive KZbin comments notifications, but if you give me a "click" I can turn you on to the most important information in this entire Universe, including The Meaning of Life and the answer to the coronavirus - and the cure for cancer, no less! 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!!!) Namaste!

Boys of Summer is my all-time favorite song, period. It led me to Don’s other work later in life, and solidified me as a lifelong Eagles fan. But, MAN! Garden of Allah is a deliciously wicked little tune. You Don’t Know Me At All...WOW those lyrics! All she wants to do is dance is a banger. And his cover of Everybody Knows is sooooo smooth and soulful. Don Henley is tops in my book. Good video, Prof!

I'm glad you mentioned Everybody Knows. Although I ended up buying his greatest hits because of the extra tracks, I bought Tower of Song much earlier, and I have no idea why. I barely knew Leonard Cohen. Maybe it was because it had several artists I like, and it's very possible it was one of those choices I made when you could get 300 CDs for a penny from Columbia in their introductory offers, LOL, but Don blew me away. I've loved that song ever since.

I remember hearing *Heart of the Matter* for the first time. I cried at the end because that awful feeling I was hiding inside - for years - had burst through to the top. I had heard those voices outside love's open door - and had thrown off my contentment and was begging for something more. But I had kids, and now 30 years later, I still beg for something more.

The hallmark of a brilliant songwriter & storyteller is demonstrated by how prescient his lyrics remain.

After singing at a stand up microphone all night, the lights came back up after a break and he was on the drums and did 6 or 7 of his biggest Eagles hits. Great show!

Adam---I was 48 when my Dad died, just 3 months after I had moved He and Mom some 500 miles west to my bigger small town where my adult professions and my wife's had settled with good progress. I always say to a friend who says goodbye to a parent (and, I too was close to my Dad, much through music) is experiencing the hardest part of growing up. The only thing that got me through it, was the sharing of deep and firm Christian faith with my Father(s); the heavenly one and my earthly one. Perhaps the musical link you had with your father, if not "faith" will get you through it. You will never "get over it." May you be supported and blessed, Adam.

Everyone has their own opinion , obviously, about music lyrics , but it’s kinda coincidental to me that some of the most profound lyrics in rock history were penned by 3 contemporaries from the early 70’s Don Henley, Jackson Browne , and Dan Fogelberg! I would have to vote for a tie between the three of them as ‘Poet Laureates ‘ of my generation! End of the Innocence/ Desperado/ Boys of Summer- Late for the Sky/ For a Dancer/ In The Shape of A Heart- Same Old Lang Syne/ The Reach/ Leader of The Band! Really sad that Dan left us way too early!

Saw Don Henley as a teenager at Irvine Meadows in 84 or 85. Was a fantastic evening. Highlight for me was him playing drums and singing Witchy Woman. Did not expect to hear that song. His tour drumming was a lefty and he joked how difficult it was playing backwards drums. I was lucky enough to see Leather and Lace performed live at the Forum with both Stevie and Don singing it.

Great that you took those opportunities, Shaman. I was in the US Navy in the 1970's and was fortunate enough to see (the) Eagles in San Diego on their "Hotel California" tour. I am a Spiritual Shaman of sorts myself, and I've discovered the secrets of the Universe. I wrote a book that reveals the greatest secrets, including The Meaning of Life. And if you give me a "click" you'll get a lot of info from my channel. (I don't receive comments notifications, but you'll find how to contact me if you want to.) Namaste!

Don Henley is probably my favorite singer and lyricist of all time. All his songs are "story" songs that touch the heart and fire the imagination. His songs, voice and insightful lyrics are always there when I need them most. I never get tired of hearing them.

Hi I agree with you about Heart Of The Matter. It is so moving. The lyric "Even if, even if you don't love me anymore." Breaks my heart. I have all of Don's solo albums and a DVD of his solo concert. His voice is sublime, so touching. The Last Resort and Wasted Time with the Eagles are emotional too.

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!

Great take on this Professor... from "Desperado" to "Heart of the Matter," Henley's vocals are so unique and unmistakable. So appreciate how you dive deeply into the lyrics and harvest the emotions that lie within them!

The end of innocence is one of those songs that penetrates you from the moment you start to listen to it. I loved that song in so many ways the first time I heard it and it's one of my all time favorite songs. The melody, the instruments, the voice, the lyrics. Everything in that songs is just... Don't know how to say it, but I'm sure you understand. Recently I uploaded an 80's mix to Mixcloud and shared the link with my friends and family. This cousin who lives in Miami calls me saying that there's a lot of songs he haven't heard in ages and then he says, and I quote "Bro, when Boys of summer is introduced in the mix I got goosebumps". A great song that makes me remember my younger years.

IMO, Talking To the Moon is one of his absolute best performances ever! And, lucky me, I live 15 miles from Don’s hometown and have met and seen him perform numerous times, both with the Eagles and as a solo performer!
