There are only those certain people where things click – at least for me.
I read the Life magazine articles about free love and free dope in California. At age 20 I drove to Los Angeles.
If the Eagles were to get back together, it would have to be for the right reasons. I think it would look awful if it were just for the money.
Some people, they just don’t get a joke.
Without a reunion, the Eagles are forever young, like James Dean.
It’s a losing proposition, but one you can’t refuse. It’s the politics of contraband, it’s the smuggler’s blues.
If you get a chance to be in a film, that’s great. One of my goals is to make a record as good as Don Henley’s album, Building the Perfect Beast.
Money was a much saner goal than adoration. They’ll both drive you crazy but if I’m going to blow my brains out for five years, I want something to show for it.
I think that’s a powerful thing, to be able to engage your audience and let them put some of themselves into the music.
The great thing about being 30 is that there are a great deal more available women. The young ones look younger and the old ones don’t look nearly as old.
I think it would be nice to sell 15 million albums as a solo artist. I’d have to deal with all the repercussions of that, but that wouldn’t be too bad.
It was 1967, and the hippie thing was happening. I got into experimenting with drugs while I was in college in Michigan.
I’m just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.
The last two years with the Eagles were pretty intense times. There was a lot of drinking and we were all getting high a lot. My parents were relieved when I got off the Eagles treadmill.
I wanted to sing songs that my voice was comfortable with.
I grew up in Detroit. So my mother always loved big band music.
Hey, a woman changed her mind – what else is new?
If we’re so awful and we’re so bad, you ought to check out the nightlife in Leningrad.
That’s what I miss out of all this synthesized music – it starts to lose dynamics.
I won’t apologize for ticket prices. I think we’re well worth it. We consider ourselves in the elite touring acts, like the Stones, Elton John, Paul McCartney.
It’s time to stop pretending that you’re somebody else. No, you can’t change this world, but you can change yourself.
