We’ve seen the Eagles, and Don Henley’s solo shows, multiple times. We’ve actually met Don Henley twice. Once for quite a while. He was very engaging. We talked mostly about fishing, shooting, and growing up in a small town. I was also very impressed by how gracious and respectful he was with the backstage crew. Just a really kind down to earth guy.
For a lot of people who grew up during the 70s and 80s, particularly in the West and Southwest, the Eagles were a constant. They made uniquely American music. I recall hearing they were, in many ways, like a soundtrack to our generation’s lives. The love songs, break up songs, life songs. But all things end and the only certainties in life are change and uncertainty. Hope they go out well.
