The Eagles ... Ugghhhh ....

What about the Eagles? Uggghhhh….
To me, the Eagles are like week old bread: yeah it’s edible, but not like when it was fresh out of the oven.
They had some great songs! Really! Well, more like this:
Great on the 1st listen.
Good on the 25th listen.
Ok on the 48th listen.
Kinda annoying on the 67th listen.
Fingernails on the chalk board on the 98th listen.
FM radio probably ruined this band by playing them ad naseum and giving them huge egos. They have got to be the poster children for the Sell Out Boomers. They reunited with dudes they can’t stand for a big paycheck (and big it was: Hell Freezes Over broke the 100$ per ticket barrier that ruined the concert going experience for kids and made it the elitist juggernaut it is today). Clearly it is not about the music anymore. Teaming up with Walmart to sell a crappy CD (that sounds like “A Nashville parody of the Eagles”, to quote Don Felder)?
Really? Don: I thought you had principals? Remember Walden Woods?
Ugghhhh…. You want country rock? Check out Drive By Truckers, Old 97’s, Whiskeytown, Uncle Tupelo, Gillian Welch, Neko Case, …

Remember when we cared about music?
