I know it's wrong to speak ill of the dead, but I'm only commenting on this song. I liked a lot of Eagles song. Also, every time I hear a sax in a rock song, I can only think that it should be an electric guitar instead. Bob Seeger, are you listening? (Turn the Page is ruined by that sax) And that includes Talk to Me. In fact, in includes the hell of of Talk to Me and Two Kinds of Love.

OK, my anti-sax rant is officially over.

In case anyone is interested...

Ok now I can no longer agree with you. I am not a fan of sax or any brass in rock but the sax in Turn the Page makes the song. I also love the sax in Nothing Ever Changes.
The sax in Two Kinds of Love is ok but it seems like Stevie wanted to use Kenny G in as many songs as she could.
One agreement... I hate the sax in Talk to Me. But I hate just about everything in that song

Wouldn't a wailing guitar be so much better in Turn the Page? I guess it's just me, but I can't hear a sax in a rock song without feeling like it's Vegasizing it. I would so much rather hear a guitar in Nothing Ever Changes. But I"m glad you like it.
