Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Thanks for the article. I know next to nothing about him.
And nothing about Glen Frey? Man, you really did hate the Eagles.

PTC, I don’t get it either. I mean sure it’s part of an awesome movie. But why can’t the movie be awesome and the Eagles be awesome too. Cuz they just were…I wouldn’t call the Eagles country-rock or country b/c most of what people consider “country-rock” makes my skin crawl and if it ain’t Hank or Waylon or Johnny or few others then I’m passin’ on the country too. The Eagles were waaay better than country, that’s why they ain’t country. Especially this bad pop music that some people call country today…ugghh…

I am sorry this guy died–but it doesn’t make me like the Eagles any more. To me they were never great, never terrible, always overplayed, and always way too proud of their concert tickets. Don Henley is just an awful dude.
Please don’t discount all new country Nate…Sturgill Simpson is fantastic.

I used to love the Eagles until I got suckered into the Hell Freezes Over “retirement” tour in ’94. Saved forever to buy $250 tickets because they said they were done touring. I can’t even count how many “retirement” tours they had for years after. I appreciate the music but they’re dirty and that’s putting it nicely. 😡

Cranks dirty laundry up to 11
“Henley’s mom Hughlene bought him his first set of a drums as a reward — yes, a reward — for blowing up the family’s primitive laundry tub with a cherry bomb. The prank led to the arrival of their first modern clothes-washing machine.”

Another band I don’t care if I never hear again. Not because I think they are bad, but because they were so overplayed that I am sick and tired of hearing them. I change stations if they come on. Pink Floyd is another one of those bands that does it to me.

Thanks will have to give Sturgill Simpson a try. By everything I have read and heard Henley is an awful person and the Eagles were one major dysfunctional band. Although, I did see and like them on their first two tours. The lead in band was some of the Bryds members. Was a great show.

The great story of how T Bone Burnett secured the music rights for Lebowski:
A tougher get was Townes Van Zandt’s cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Dead Flowers,” which plays over Lebowski’s closing credits. “[Former Stones manager] Allen Klein owns the rights to it,” Burnett says. “He wanted $150,000.” Burnett begged Klein to just come down and watch an early cut of Lebowski. “It got to the part where the Dude says, ‘I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man!’ Klein stands up and says, ‘That’s it, you can have the song!’ That was beautiful.” For the record, Burnett agrees with the Dude (“[The Eagles] sort of single-handedly destroyed that whole scene that was brewing back then,” he says), but the line infuriated Glenn Frey. “I ran into [Frey] and he gave me some shit,” Jeff Bridges says. “I can’t remember what he said exactly, but my anus tightened a bit.”

For the mathematically inclined amongst youse, this “the group secured more interceptions (19) than it gave up passing touchdowns (17)” sounds like a good thing, right?

Depends on what you think about “the team threw more touchdown passes (14) than interceptions (8)”.

Honestly, if he as good with recruiting and coaching DB’s as CJP, he will be fine. We were so young there this year, and I think everyone is coming back, so this should continue to be a team strength. He and CKS working together to coordinate a defense will be fun to watch.

So, he didn’t call Nck and ask for a job when he got canned in Chicago, Nick called him. Didn’t Nick do something similar with Lane? Nick sure is lucky. Or, he knows what he’s doing.

I’m not an Eagles hater but I don’t like them very much either. At this point hating them is cliche. Mostly they just made music that wasn’t great. Big deal. Another vote here for Sturgill Simpson.
