(ex: Stevie/Lindsey/etc....) though I'm sure some we'll not ever 'hear' there stories.....I don't think Don or Glen would ever write a 'tell-all' book......not that they've always agreed through the yrs but its the same with any band I guess......really.....anyway, just wondering what your opinion is?? thanks.....
I really enjoyed it! Don painted himself a little too saintly, IMO(but then who doesn't?). I've read it three times since I got it. Henley and Frey both get painted pretty badly, but Tim and Joe come across as both being nice guys.
And as much as Felder's my favorite member, I just can't believe that he wasn't a pain in the ass. If he weren't, I'm sure they wouldn't have fired him. Also, given that Henley offered Felder(I hate having two Dons, always having to use their last names) a place in his solo band, I think 90% of the tension was between Frey and Felder. I think Glenn HATED him.
