The Eagles were featured in a Jeopardy answer on Tuesday. You can check out the whole game on the J! Archive. The category was "Mapping the Top 40" and the answer was: The Eagles: not only are they "livin' it up at" this title lodging, there's "plenty of room" there, too.
Remember, the Eagles have been featrued quite prominently, as our Eagles on Jeopardy page shows.
Thanks to Melissa's mom for the heads up on this.
If you are in the New York area tomorrow night and have $1000, you can see Glenn and Joe perform.
This from FoxNews:
Thursday night, Chase hosts the 10th annual Collaborating for a Cure Benefit at the 26th Street Armory in Murray Hill for the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation. It’s the second-biggest annual fundraiser in New York. Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh from the Eagles are performing. Lots of stars will show up.
Just saw this on HITS:
EAGLES STILL TICKING: Wal-Mart sold an amazing 58k of the Eagles' Long Road Out of Eden yesterday after the band's Sunday night interview on CBS' 60 Minutes. Geez, that's almost as good as appearing on Oprah.
CBS has videos up from tonight's broadcast as well as a transcript of the complete show. While it was a nice look at the band's history and it was interesting to see a few followup questions asked, it was meant for the casual fan instead of the die-hard.
We know a lot of you are coming to this site after watching the broadcast and want to let you know that the band has no current plans to tour. You can bet as soon as we know anything, it will be posted front and center here on the site.
While I have the blogging application open, I'd also like to just address something that has come up repeatedly in emails and in chat tonight. It involves the "body language" segment. Many of you have commented that that clip is "proof" that the band members hate each other. We just don't see it. What is it proof of? That the editors found a minute or so of footage that they can claim is tension filled body language? Yup. It proves that. It also proves that the power of suggestion is a remarkable thing. Just because the commentator says that it is negative, doesn't mean it is.
So, what might Don be saying with his body language? Maybe, "I'm tired and bored by this lengthy interview wherein we are answering questions we've answered hundreds of times." Or it could be "Hey, it's been a long time since I've been in here and I notice something different up there near the ceiling." It could be a lot of things, but I don't see how it says, "I hate Glenn." Nope. Granted, we don't know the inner feelings of the band members toward each other, but if you were trying to find evidence that they hate each other, this particular clip certainly wouldn't be it. It's just Henley being Henley.
So, that's our 2 cents.
What questions would you ask Don and Glenn if you had them in a booth at Dan Tana's?
Well, the football game is running long. We're betting 60 minutes will be delayed by at least 30 minutes. After the show, tell us what you thought. Did they ask the right questions? Did you learn anything new?
And if you are visiting the site for the first time due to seeing the band on 60 minutes, you'll want to check out our Long Road Out of Eden page for all of the information about the new album. If you'd like to connect with other fans, head to our message board. You might also want to check the archives for all of the Eagles information you could want.
update: That was fast! Overtime is over (thank you, Chicago) and 60 Minutes should start shortly.
Just finished listening to Don talk to Johnnie Walker (who has a very cute new puppy!) on BBC 2. Since the interview was recorded almost a month ago there wasn't really anything new. Don mentioned the band will regroup in January to assess their future plans. He talked a little about the songs.....Long Road Out of Eden isn't necessarily the most important or even Don's favorite song on the album. He really likes Waiting in the Weeds, Center of the Universe and It's Your World Now. In case you missed it, the show should be available soon on the BBC's site.
Our yearly fan calendar is now ready for ordering. We need your orders by December 7th, so order early!
We'd like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American visitors today. Enjoy some turkey, count your blessing and watch some football (Go Packers!)
Joe turns the big 6-0 today. Hope it's a great one. We're super swamped with out of town guests, so for now, check out our Joe page to see exactly why he's so awesome!
