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.

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)

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.

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

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

"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.

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.

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.

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")
