monday night

Late Monday night--back to old habits, I'm afraid. Earlier tonight, I caught some of "Hell Freezes Over" on VH1 classics, you know one of the few music channels that sometimes plays music--of course, a movie was after that, FM, a movie that was good the first 60 times VH1 or Classic showed it--of course, the good thing about the movie was that it actually showed fm radio back in the seventies when they would actually play a solid hour of music or an entire album or two---anyway, I missed the first third of the Eagle's concert--the part where they played "Hotel California" but still saw some good songs including the one--"Get Over It" sung by Don Henley and with one of the greatest lines I wish I had written for when you get totally overwhelmed by society today and the people that are totally absorbed with themselves and that nothing is ever their fault, always someone else's or society's--anyway the line--"I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass."--ahhh, sheer poetry--of course, they close with "Desperado" but I like the version best when the meld it with "Doolin' Dalton"--still a great song, even better than the version sung by Linda Ronstadt, or maybe as good as. It's strange to watch an old video from the 70's when Ronstadt is singing it and the Eagles (at least in their incarnation at that time--Glen Frey shown for a few seconds on piano, Don Henley with an Afro on drums, Randy Meisner on bass, Bernie Leadon on lead guitar and Don Felder on rhythm--strange when you see how well he does duelling guitars with Joe Walsh on "Hell Freezes Over") are backup band for her. Good music though, even though right now I am listening to The Four Tops singing "Walk Away Renee"
I have the right music going, but just can't find anything to write on my own--maybe I'll just give up and go to bed-------
peace
-will-
