The End Of The Innocence, Cont'd.

"There was no YouTube, no MySpace, no TMZ. In the '60s and early '70s, most artists weren't willing to 'ho' to get their fifteen minutes of fame. Peoples' lives were not an open book, their foibles not public property. We did our fair share of debauchery, but there was nobody there trying to film it." Is this the first time I sort of agree with one Mr. Don Henley ever? It very well may be! (Although the whole boomer-exceptionalist bit does, naturally, rankle more than a bit.)

Don Henley Already Looking Forward To Sweeping 2009 Grammy Awards

Hey, did you know that the Eagles won a Grammy last night? Yes, their wooing of the Grand Ol' Opry crowd led to them taking home the Country Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals award for their song "How Long." And the win made Don Henley get a little misty-eyed: "This Grammy win is particularly sweet because of the length of time that has passed since we (the Eagles) won our first Grammy in early 1976. I was 28 years old then. I'm 60 now." And he's ready to make 61 an even more awards-laden year!
