Recently started reading Warren Zanes' new biography of Tom Petty. Had no idea he went to high school in Gainesville w/both Bernie Leadon and Don Felder.

The Baroness guy interview gives context for the "dad rock" wammy. Basically it was a piece about him later in life coming to grips with/coming to love a lot of the light rock he derided as a teen. Actually, I thought there was a lot of good/interesting/entertaining/perceptive stuff in here:

dang that documentary did wonders for their image

Once I realized that those guys were as openly self-involved as they sounded
not to really pick on the guy, but it was always obvious these people were huge narcissists. the doc didn't exactly make that revelation. trying to figure out why it's "cool" now. people posit that it is bc they are now unapologetic about it, as if in the past they were pretending to be kind of humble or something.

Well, I think the doc did open a lot of eyes to a band many/most had only heard. There were a handful of songs I didn't even know were Eagles songs until I saw the doc.

Eagles = Dad Rock ... We're getting close to, if not past, the point where bands from the 70s are "dad rock".
Foo Fighters, Wilco, fathers taking their sons to see Straight Outta Compton... that's the era of Dad Rock we're now in.
― pplains, Tuesday, 8 December 2015 17:38 (eight years ago) link
yeah i had a deep and abiding hatred, had read multiple interviews where don henley gloated over the eagles having been more successful than the new york dolls so fuck the critics where are the new york dolls now huh, i knew these fuckers, and the doc was still revelatory. the first half of it is pretty great, i didn't finish the second half, just perfunctory rehab and reunion stuff. man between that doc's growing cult, their profile (and classic rock's profile in general) shrinking enough that they don't suffer from present overexposure, and stuff like blue jean committee i do wonder if somehow the eagles could be reclaimed. may god have mercy on our souls.

it's working out the way Henley planned: where are Foghat and Zep on AOR radio now motherfuckers!

I have the first six Eagles albums on my iPod and tried shuffling them yesterday and was struck anew by the Grand Canyon-sized gulf in quality between anything they released as a single and anything they didn't. I mean, there's literally not one track on their albums where you can say, "Why wasn't this a single? It would have been a huge hit!" Everything that was a hit deserved to be a hit, but everything else was like having your face shoved into a mountain of rotting garbage.

Our knowledge was dearly won, Phil.
Oh really? Didn't know that "Chug All Night" had been released as a single. I'll have to look up its chart position and airplay when I get a moment.

Also, In The Wild, A FB Status from Huey Lewis that a friend of mine "Liked"
Glenn Frey of The Eagles and I were playing golf at Pebble Beach one time. Scott Ostler, the great sports reporter in San Francisco, said to us, “Well, between you guys, you must have written hundreds of songs,” thinking we had a bunch of songs we never released.Glenn, who has had a lot of hit songs, said, “No, I have used everything I ever wrote.”Writing a great song is not easy. If you write 10 good songs in your life, you are a hall of famer. - Huey
Well, yeah.

DAVID: As an artist, I wanted to turn my death not into a celebration of my life and career, but into a celebration of the lives of everyone. We are all lost souls floating in a tin can, and yet, it's by joining together that we make this mysterious journey into something with meaning.
GLENN: I know I've joined together with a few lost souls in my day, if you get my drift.
DAVID: I'm sorry, what was your name again?
