I’ve just gotten out the tub and was planning hitting the pillow but all this talk of the Eagles on WP has made me too excited to sleep. I love it when I read posts that I can totally get behind. I love it when I feel akin to a post or a subject or someone’s interests.
When I was growing up I swear I’d never heard any of the Eagles’ music or even heard of the Eagles. On the farm, we listened to country music pretty much exclusively and though I did take up interest in different genres of music as a teenager, none of them were the Eagles.
The very first Eagles song I heard was Hotel California when I was eighteen and at the bar. I think it almost stopped me in my tracks and everyone else in the bar seemed to know the song but me. I was fascinated by it and shortly after I purchased some Eagles cassette tapes and later down the road, CD’s.
I’m not going to pretend to know a lot about music. A lot of people blog about music and songs, and rightfully so as they are very knowledgeable on the subject. I don’t know a note from a tune from a pitch from a bar (except the ones you buy drinks in). But I do know that the Eagles’ music is amazing and timeless. Honestly, I had put the Eagles up on a shelf for the last probably twenty-ish years but just recently downloaded those old cassette tapes and CD’s I used to wear out, on Apple Music.
And again, I love how many people on WP have also blogged about them and are fans of them. It’s been the catalyst that’s brought the Eagles back into my life. As I just earlier this evening mentioned to Kevin, my faves are Lyin’ Eyes and Pretty Maids All in a Row. In third place would be Wasted Time.
Listening now to the Eagles is very nostalgic because it takes me back to a time in my life where everything was fresh and exciting and there was so much yet to come. Yet I’m not sad about has beens or all the time that’s now in the rearview mirror. I still feel as young inside and I’m still figuring life out. I’m just a tiny bit smarter and I’m so happy to have had the Eagles along for the ride.
