I want a new Don Henley CD; just not one like the last one.
Because it blew.

Now, I know there are Don Henley haters in every group.

But don't try to tell me that "End Of The Innocence" was not a great recording! I'm warning you.

I'll squirt silly string in your mailbox. I'm reckless.

1. .
Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standing by
When "happily ever after" fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by man
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And was away this sin
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say good bye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence

2. I saw him live. That's all I need.
The only cd I have of his is Building The Perfect Beast.

5. I'm with ya...
I wonder what Henley is up to these days. I heard/read somewhere that his
wife is ill. I wonder if that's keeping him busy. I expected him to be more
active in the last election due to his strong environmental concerns.

I agree about his last CD except for "Goodbye to a River". I can't listen
to that w/o crying.

10. Tour coming up
Looks like Henley is going to do some Florida dates in April.

Then Eagles are touring American August through October.

9. Go to www.donhenley.com and listen to the music that auto plays
It is the true melancholy sound of life passing us by.

12. He's touring this summer with Stevie Nicks
The Eagles are apparently fighting again (big surprise) and have delayed finishing their next record so he decided to hit the road. His wife, by the way, has MS, but they've had three kids together so far. Okay--I officially know way more about Henley than I should!

11. I like "My Thanksgiving" on his last album
And "Annabel" is beautiful.

13. Maybe I should listen to it again.
I only listened once and didn't like it.

Perhaps I acted hastily.
