Trying to figure out who the Rasputin is in all of this.

tom waits?

everything I do is funky like Debussy (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 23 August 2013 20:02 (twelve years ago)

Maybe Zevon?

I like where this thread goes when there's not that much to say about the song of the day.

Azoff's gotta be Rasputin, surely

David Geffen = Rasputin.

the spritual godfather of el-lay decadence. and you just couldn't kill him.

plus, geffen doesn't look nefarious enough.

scott seward, Friday, 23 August 2013 20:11 (twelve years ago)

oh shit of course

john the wolfking of l.a. is such a great record

Dennis Wilson has to play a role in this. And Harry Nilsson, too. Basically, someone needs to do a '70s L.A. "Velvet Goldmine"/"24 Hour Party People." With everyone played by British or Australian actors.

The Beach Boys did shows w/the Eagles in the mid-'70s.

I bet Glenn Frey taught them a thing or two about harmony, says Glenn Frey.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 23 August 2013 21:05 (twelve years ago)

Wilson to Frey: hey man I was working out this song with 'chugging' as kind of a theme I'm kickin around, you wanna hear it?
Frey: dude I already wrote a song about that!
Wilson: aw man you have the best ideas!

Mike Love sued Glenn Frey over the rights to 'chug', as he'd written "Chug A Lug" (re:roof beer) in 1962.

I wonder if Walsh aside these guys still drink? I imagine Henley getting sloppy drunk after a solo cup of warm pinot grigio.

(the drinking habits of aging rockers fascinate me)

first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 23 August 2013 21:25 (twelve years ago)

Xpost Mike Love sued Roger Miller too. He won't rest til he's the Chugmaster.

Later bulked out Frey is on some joe piscopo level of gross

Spot Lange (Jon Lewis), Friday, 23 August 2013 22:17 (twelve years ago)

The Beach Boys did shows w/the Eagles in the mid-'70s.

as you probably know, it gets more tangled than that too - Dennis dated Christine McVie (not sure if this was around the same time Frey got with Nicks). John Phillips has a cowrite on Kokomo etc.

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 23 August 2013 22:21 (twelve years ago)

You guys notice how neither Frey nor Henley has many solo songwriting credits?

first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 23 August 2013 22:21 (twelve years ago)

Xpost Henley got with Nicks (aborted baby Sara) and she also was with JD Souther around the same time.

A Made Man In The Mellow Mafia (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 23 August 2013 22:54 (twelve years ago)

ah, right

I imagine Lindsey probably pissed on Don's lawn somewhere in that timeline.

Spot Lange (Jon Lewis), Friday, 23 August 2013 23:04 (twelve years ago)

"You guys notice how neither Frey nor Henley has many solo songwriting credits?"

as mentioned upthread, we have now listened to the two eagles tracks with solo frey writing credits. i think.

scott seward, Friday, 23 August 2013 23:52 (twelve years ago)

Frey needs an editor to de-chug his lyrics.

yeah and that's it! No solos until a song called "All Those Lies" in '82.

I wish you guys could have heard "Living in Darkness" from The Allnighter (1984). The most frightening, unconvincing falsetto I've ever heard.

I've got a project for the weekend, just letting you all know.

HOLY SHIT

Kicking myself that I forgot him. Wolf King is a great record, but hooboy has he left an evil shadow on this town.

Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 24 August 2013 05:14 (twelve years ago)

The Zevon book desperately needs an index, but there is a Who's Who at the back and under the "Henley, Don" entry is this

Warren's relationship with Don was strange. When discussing whether or not he wanted a funeral, Warren said, "I just don't want to have to spend my last days wondering if Henley will show up." Henley didn't, but Timothy Schmidt did.

Also, am I the only one self-conscious enough to turn off my Last.fm tagging when reading this thread?

if only we had listened to mojo

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 24 August 2013 05:45 (twelve years ago)

a line in that Mojo song reminded me of that brief time in the late '80s when Henley turned into Timothy B. Schmidt (or, "The Ponytail Years")

For some reason, this photo of Sonny reacting to Glenn's suggestion they change the name of the show to "Frey-ami Vice" came up too:
