Henley at the Heart Benefit

[Kelly]

I like the get Lindsey idea.

I would be shocked if Don pulled out of this benefit show so last minute like this. I cannot wait until tonight to see but I am not sure I believe it right now. If he did, he is back on my list....just one more hurtful thing he has done to Stevie. Sorry Henely fans I am really hoping this is a DJ screwup. Those dudes never get anything right...but he played a clip?

The clip was very short. Pretty much just the sentence about "previous commitments to the Eagles", so it could have been pulled from anywhere, any time, talking to anyone. After that, the female DJ mentioned about how he and Stevie just went on tour together, and how he cut that tour short, too, etc. I'm really hoping they had some wrong information because it sounds very odd to me, too.

Wouldn't be the first time a radio DJ was full of sh*t.

Reporting from Phoenix.....

Well, outside the Dodge Theater is playing a video advertising the Gold dust show tonight, with special guests V Carlton and Don Henley. It shows footage from the Two Voices Tour. So if this is true, someone needs to tell the venue!

I heard that someone called the venue and they confirmed that in fact Don WILL be there to perform tonight, so who knows....

But she is startled to find herself starting to hum the chorus of Mojo Nixon's "Don Henley Must Die." She looks up at the mirror and a large, evil grin appears as the fluorescent bulbs reflect the sheen of a copious helping of Creme de la Mer smoothed onto her unmade face. "...don't let him get back together with Glenn Frey..."

But I digress.

LMAO!!!!

Wouldn't Don be under contract to do this? I saw that seating in the

Orchestra Pit was almost a thousand dollars!

Some of those people must have been expecting to see The Donald.

Also, I saw the concert at Jones Beach and they really did seem

very comfortable and close together - I just can't believe

he would totally, 100% blow that now.

But if it's TRUE - w t f is she going to do??? This is SERIOUSLY

last-minute and INCREDIBLY rude of him, if it's true!

I just honestly can't believe that he would leave her in the lurch

this way, with something that is SO important to her.

There's just to many flowers for him to cut down, to do something

like that.

"And I can tell you my love for you
will still be strong after the boys of
summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
Now I don't understand what's happened
to our love,
But baby when I get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of ...
Out on the road today I saw a DEADHEAD sticker
on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, Don't
look back. You can never look back.
I thought I knew what love was,
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but- . . . ."

"But we SABOTAGE our lives,

and we SABOTAGE our relationships! . . ."

I just don't believe it.

He'd NEVER. . . .

Not to Stevie

[HenleyFan]

We just love how everyone rushes to judge Don based on something someone thinks they heard. Nevermind the fact that Don is a close friend of Stevie's.....he's also a professional. Why would he just up and cancel an appearance the morning of the show? He would never do that unless it was a matter of serious illness or a family emergency. Jeez.

I'm not sure what your upset about. Sure I see a few people making somewhat tacky jokes. But more than anything, I'm seeing a lot of people hoping this was a DJ mistake and really wanting to give Don the benefit of the doubt. I don't think anyone wants to believe that Don would back out of Stevie's show at such a late date. Still this is a Stevie forum, if indeed it turns out he has, it's only natural that you would see some backlash here. Just as I'm sure if Stevie were the primary guests at one of Don's Walden benefits and she backed out the day of the show there would be some backlash on a Henley forum.

[HenleyFan]

The thing that gets us is everyone is acting like this is true....that he's backed out on her. Why is it accepted as fact when the venue says he's goign to be there?? The attitude here makes no sense to us. Instead of saying, gee that DJ sounds like he's got a few fact swrong, most people immediately began putting Don down and talking about what a jerk he is for cancelling on Stevie at the last minute. Huh?? It's not even a confirmed fact, but Don's the asshole.

L&M,

I know much **** has been said on this board about Don in the past, but I just reread the entire thread & nobody called Don an asshole or started blaming him for anything. 2 commented that if it were true, that would be rude of him & everyone else was just lamenting that it would suck if it were true. Several peeps assumed the DJ screwed it up.

I personally like that you're here & appreciate your comments, and I know this board is a bit different than yours in terms of tone & attitude. But please don't be so defensive, at least this time.

Wait!
I love you.

[HenleyFan]

Thanks.

Perhaps we were being bit defensive and you're right about things being different. This thing just seemed to grow legs and just the fact that people were saying, "If this is true...." seemed so odd when at the outset it was so absurd.

Hopefully they are on stage now and we'll get to hear lots of details soon.

Yes, I agree!

Has anyone heard anything yet?

What's the REAL deal???

Perhaps we were to quick to judge Stevie's friend, Don.

But if it IS true,

then I propose a TOAST -

May Miss Nicks put Don Henley on a SPIKE,

and cook him into a ROAST! . . . . J/K!

PSSSST - - - If he DID back out - wouldn't he be financially liable???

[AliceLover]

Ok its 8:30 there Stevie should be out now right?
