Until...
I caught a documentary on Netflix about them. Now I don't care if I ever hear another Eagle's song.
I wasn't a big fan, but curious what you learned that put you off.
They seemed to be a group of very shallow, goofy, lightweight boys who someone got connencted to a few good lyrics. Glen Frey and Don Henley wrote most of the stuff, but they too seemed less than serious.
Unlike all the other rock stars in the biz. I still can't see why it matters as far as the music.
Have you ever seen any documentary about about Chuck Berry? He was a world class asshole and any of the old timers who knew him would verify that.
But why do I care?
But, as Tia said, I thought they (The Eagles) were jerks and when I hear them now I'm reminded, and to a tiny degree at least, it matters. Not sure whey, but it just does. (I stilll listen to "Take it to the limit" and enjoy it)
This is true of all creative people I guess. I've enjoyed the writings of authors who I know were real messed up and goofy people.
All things being equal, I think maybe really creative people have stuff flowing around in their minds and bodies the rest of us don't have.
Whistle a tune you have never before heard.
