1948-2016: You know you're getting old when your iPod's music library starts filling up with dead people.
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! "
The heat is on, on the street
Inside your head, on every beat
And the beat's so loud, deep inside
The pressure's high, just to stay alive
'Cause the heat is on
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin' in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your blood, it's in your moves
You're a man of the street
I saw them a year ago, and Glenn still sang beautifully. RIP Mr. Frey. sigh

But if I EVER hear "Hotel Goddam California" again it will be too soon.
And get off my lawn.

And it speaks for all of us.....
Desperada, girl, you better come to your senses,
Better come down from your fences, and open your gate....
It may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you,
Let somebody love you....
You better let somebody love you before it's too late.
"Siddy gurlz just seem to find out early...."
First song I ever learned to play on guitar by them.
Bittercreek was the most difficult. C-B-F transistions are murder.
"...It wasn't for the money
(at least it didn't start that way)!
It wasn't for the runnin',
But now he's runnin' every daaaaaaaay!"
-G. Frey, et al., 'Certain Kind Of Fool', '73.
