"We did a big Philly-type production with strings — definitely not country rock. You’re not going to find that track on a Crosby, Stills & Nash record or Beach Boys record"
yeah, no big productions w/strings on any Beach Boys records. You wonder sometimes if Frey ever listened to anything but his own masters.

imagining scenario where Frey buttonholes Thom Bell at a party and makes him listen to a rough mix of "Wasted Time." "we've beat you at your own game, man!"
― col, Thursday, 3 October 2013 15:24 (twelve years ago)
"Wasted Time": Seems to me to be too labored. They've got some of the Philly moves down, but Henley is such a tight-ass singer here, with none of the ease or authority of Pendergrass, Phillippe Wynne etc. Henley supposedly played this over the phone to woo back an ex-girlfriend (she of "Hotel California" and leaving the Donster for Bernie Taupin fame) and she told him to fuck off despite his insistence that the song wasn't about his wasted time spent with her, but them together wasting time 'wasting time' (like watching tv or eating sandwhiches instead of doing blow and fucking, I guess). Smooth move ExLax.

This is otmfm, and I actually like Henley's vocal here. But imagining Phillippe Wynne singing this...that would put this song on a whole other level.

someone else said it upthread but i too always thought this was a Henley solo jawn from like 1989

i think henley actually did invent the 80's with this song. or the 90's! a man with a vision.

yeah i figured it was an album track off end of the innocense

I get them all confused, two in particular. One is "The Sad Cafe" and the other one isn't.
― pplains, Thursday, 3 October 2013 18:34 (twelve years ago)
This is really excellent. Henley can sing. It isn't Philly Soul though; I guess it could pass as something at the Elton end of Elton's Philly Soul phase. Only with stiffer drumming. I like it a lot.
