Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.
From Don Henley
The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time.
Let hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Don't look back, you can never look back.
Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn't ring true.
A man with a briefcase can steal millions more than any man with a gun.
Between each album I try to gain a new insight that I didn't have before and perhaps write a song about something that I've written about before, but from a fresh viewpoint.
I could have played more complex stuff. I could have been a busier player. But that's not what I wanted to do. I played what I wanted to play.
I could stand out front and sing Eagles songs that I sing in my set, but I think people enjoy watching me sing and play the drums. It seems to fascinate people. I don't know why.
I don't care what anybody says about Ringo. I cut my rock-n-roll teeth listening to him.
I don't mind doing two or three Eagles songs and playing the drums. I'm not one of those artists who's going to sit here and deny the past.
