DIRTY LAUNDRY(MR UNCLEAN MIX)Dirty Laundry is the second single released from Henley's 1982 solo debut album I Can't Stand Still, and his first hit, reaching #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is about the callousness (and callowness) of TV news reporting as well as the tabloidization of all news. The song was actually inspired by the intr...

I've heard some songs written about 9/11 - bad (Loudon Wainwright, McCartney), ok (David Wilcox), schizo (Let's Roll - Neil Young - who would change his tune 5 years later).But I think the most prescient and eerie has to be some of the lyrics from Don Henley's "New York Minute". The first time I heard this again after 9/11 it gave me chills. Check out these excerpts:Harry got up, dressed all in...

I have my last beer in hand, and to night.... at work there is was in my face... the last woman that I thought I might have a future with.. she's engaged to another guy at work. Now I don't talk about this stuff often, so don't get used to it. I knew it was over with her a long time ago, we went out a couple of times and she said 'you're nice guy', 'I want something causal', 'I'm not ready for ...

On Friday former Eagle Don Henley sued extreme right wing kook and U.S. Senate candidate Chuck DeVore, an Assemblyman from Irvine in Orange County. DeVore ignored a cease and desist request in regard to his use of Henley's song "The Boys of Summer" as part of his campaign to denigrate President Obama and unseat Senator Barbara Boxer. This is the lunatic fringe former GOP Whip who resigned to pr...

very rarely do i like covers better than originals. kinda like how movies are rarely better than the books they're based on. or remakes are never as good. or sequels for that matter. anyway, not to get off topic. i've been struggling with the ataris remake of boys of summer by don henley. there's just something so haunting about henley's version that somehow gets lost in the ataris cover....

this is the end of the innocence. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Don gets a bad rap after he left the Eagles... but none of their songs could ever hit down in the heart like he could as a solo artist. His music is one of the best things I remember on the radio from my childhood.

Hey Don if you are out there I have been waiting since was thirteen to sing with you and not with a recording. I can pick your voice out of any song or hear it in a loud crowded room. If you are singing, it alwasy takes over through any noise. So when you are ready, I have some songs I'd like to sing with you. I've been a fan for ever so long, time to be a friend. And it is time for a new CD r...

Within the act of forgiveness lies so many spiritual layers: choosing the present moment over the past, having compassion for others, deciding to focus on another's divine inheritance as opposed to their misguided or wrong behavior, trusting a process larger than yourself, acceptance of "what is" and opening yourself to be a channel of divine love.For the times when we need additional encourage...
