what would they about Trump

DON: The fact that someone like Donald Trump can actually be viable GOP presidential candidate just shows that for all the records and concert tickets we've sold, all the lives we've touched in song, that no one really was listening to us when we were performing "The Last Resort", or when I did "Gimme What You Got" or "Workin' It" in my also well-regarded solo performances. Like it or not, We are truly in "The Garden of Allah" now.

GLENN's GHOST: I wouldn't mind spending some time in "The Garden of Melania" right now though.

DON: Well, yeah.

In The Wild: "Wasted Time" on the classic rock muzak at this bar I fixing to help run a Quiz at.

Schmit recently debuted the album's breezy lead single, "Red Dirt Road," which pays tribute to the soil of Hawaiian island Kaua'i.
"There's some rich, deep soil there," he told Rolling Stone. "You have a good chance of growing a plumeria tree by just sticking a branch of a plumeria into the ground. It's unbelievable.

why does the statue look like Bob from Twin Peaks?

"Looking for statues of Pat Tillman and Glenn Frey? Well there's only one state where you can find 'em BOTH."

Arizona aka Nightmare Fuel

says it was Glenn's band

man this thing was three years ago!

Well, yeah.

"It would just seem like greed or something," says Henley.

carve that on his tombstone

...alongside the complete, unabridged lyrics to "The Garden of Allah".

*including the rap*

Schmidt and Walsh's contracts stipulate that they get buried with him.

I'd forgotten that Bob Seger co-wrote "Heartache Tonight"; he showed up to sing it at the Kennedy Center Honors:

HEARTACHE TONIGHT
GLENN: …and then they sold 12 million records, and everything changed! As Bob Dylan said, “They deceived me into thinking I had something to protect.” And that’s what happened with us. We made it, and it ate us. The Long Run became, indeed, the long run. It was a difficult record to make overall, but I loved “Heartache Tonight.” Whenever Bob Seger was in L.A., he always used to come over and visit me, and he’d visit Don, too, and play us stuff he was working on — and we would do the same. I seem to remember that I had the verse thing going on for “Heartache Tonight,” and I was showing it to Seger, and we were jammin’ — I think we were jammin’ on electric guitars at LaFontaine — and then he blurted out the chorus. That’s how “Heartache” started. Then Bob disappeared, and J.D., Don, and I finished that song up. No heavy lyrics — the song is more of a romp — and that’s what it was intended to be.

One of the revelations from the solo listening thread was that away from Henley & Seger, Glen couldn't write a meat and potatoes rocker to save his ass.

uh wait -- you don't like "Party Town"?

My local rock station WJMX used to play this every Friday afternoon at 5:00 to signal the start of the weekend. Rest in Peace Glenn.

XP: It's no "Chug All Night".

It'll never end...

In addition to the previously reported addition of Deacon Frey, who will step into the spot left vacant with the passing of his father Glenn, the group will be joined by veteran country artist Vince Gill. The Los Angeles Times reports that Gill will split vocal duties with the younger Frey on Glenn’s songs.

Eagles co-founder Don Henley, who earlier referred to Deacon’s entrance as a modern musical version of the old “guild system, where the father is the master and the son is the apprentice,” admitted that he viewed the group as finished after Glenn’s passing, but quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson while exercising his right to change his mind: “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”

oh shut the fuck up

what a fuckin tool

...viewed the group as finished after Frey's passing but remembered the fat stacks of cash he loved so much & decided he had been too hasty

young female eagles fan: but i'm 17 and you're 70. gross.

don: think of it as the old guild system, where i am the master and you are the apprentice.

fan: seriously?

ghost of glenn: well, yeah.

"I thought the Eagles were finished, but then I realized, wait, if the Eagles aren't touring, how will I get paid more money than Don Felder?"

Deacon, huh

Turn up the Eagles; the neighbors are listening

"who else can I add to the band & bully in a way that would make Glenn proud"

Things that just have to be Tim and Eric skits

I was on a image search for sons of the current Eagles (when I realized wtf am I doing? and stopped.)

Besides that photo above, also discovered that Henley is only the 4th richest drummer. Without looking, can you name the top 3?

the eagles are turning into the justice society of america

...and Ringo says he's sorry.

I always wonder about the sources for lists like this. Is Grohl really richer than Larry Mullen, who's been doing megatours with the most popular live band in the world for decades and, due to the way they split songwriting credits, gets publishing royalties for every one of their songs?

Yeah, that struck me as odd, too. And surely Charlie Watts has more dough than Grohl?

The saddest story ever told:
For sale, one cut rock tooth never used

Henley came in 4th despite having the biggest album ever and <literally> being Satan.

The last sentence here is what might make this list so questionable: The figures contained in this list were acquired from all publicly available information including salaries, real estate holdings, divorces, record sales, royalties and endorsements. The final net worths come from a formula that takes out taxes, manager's fees, agents' fees, and lifestyle.

#1: Ringo Starr – $300 Million (The Beatles)
#2: Dave Grohl – $260 Million (Nirvana, Foo Fighters)
#3: Phil Collins – $250 Million (Solo, Genesis)
#4: Don Henley – $200 Million (The Eagles)
#5: Lars Ulrich – $200 Million (Metallica)
#6: Charlie Watts – $170 Million (The Rolling Stones)
#7: Roger Taylor – $170 Million (Queen)
#8: Larry Mullen Jr – $150 Million (U2)
#9: Joey Kramer – $100 Million (Aerosmith)
#10: Nick Mason – $100 Million (Pink Floyd)

Still baffled at Grohl's wealth, unless he's like some kind of secret slimeball real estate speculator or something. Or maybe he gets paid a bundle to be an HIV truther.

He leads and writes all the songs for one of the most consistently popular rock bands for the last 20 years, and was also in a legacy band that has three or four popular catalog albums for starters.
