More Eagles Obsessions

Did you know "Almost Famous" (please don't tell me you didn't see it; it was great) the singer is based on Glenn Frey?
Don Henley is from Texas and a conservationist- instrumental in saving Walden Woods?
Joe Wash sings,"Life's Been Good To Me So Far" and had an epiphany about his drug use in New Zealand?
Don Henley's girlfriends include: Stevie Nicks, the Bond girl from Moonraker and Athena from the original Battlestar Galactica?
The bassist, Timothy Schmidt sang for Crosby Stills and Nash when Crosby was too drugged out to record?
That Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt (remember she dated Jerry Brown back when he was governor?) and the Eagles all hung out together?
Kenny Rogers met Don Henley in Texas while shopping  for bell bottoms and gave him his first break? (and Kenny Rogers face lifts are scarier than Joe Walsh's)

Conversation with Papoose while playing "One of These Nights" in the car:
Don Henley singing:
I'm searching for the daughter of the devil himself/
I'm looking for an angel in white/
I'm waiting for a woman who's a little of bot
I can feel her but she's no where in sight

Papoose:Why would he want to meet the Devil's daughter?
Me, weighing options rapidly, grateful for the red light. Light turns green, decide to go with simple truth: "Well he's also looking for an angel- someone who's a little both."
Papoose: I get it. It's like my Halloween costume (pink pirate princess) both good and bad.

God help us.
 And I'd better stop playing "Life In The Fast Lane" when she's around around.
