"The Heart of the Matter" - Don Henley "I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear but I knew that it would come. An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone; she said you found someone, and I thought of all the bad luck, and the struggles we went through, and how I lost me, and you lost you... What are these voices outside love's open door; make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more? I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you sometimes... These times are so uncertain; there's a yearning undefined and people filled with rage. We all need a little tenderness. How can love survive in such a graceless age? The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness; They're the very things we kill, I guess... Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms and the work I put between us; you know it doesn't keep me warm... I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you, baby... The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I thought I figured out--I have to learn again. I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter, but everything changes, and my friends seem to scatter; But I think it's about forgiveness... Forgiveness... Even if, even if you don't love me anymore... There are people in your life who've come and gone, they let you down, you know they hurt your pride. You better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on; You keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby... I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter, because the flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter, so I'm thinking about forgiveness... Forgiveness... Even if, even if you don't love me... Even if you don't love me anymore..."

Kootch! Worth waiting for! Timing is everything, and his was perfect. It’s taken years to get Danny Kortchmar alone in the Game Changers guest seat, having paid us a couple of previous visits with his Immediate Family brothers. This Danny is kinder, gentler, and oh, so fun. He’s been leaning more and more in this direction to my view since falling in love with Lisa Roy, even after surviving the devastating loss of her life. She was the love of his, and it appears she did him a world of lasting good. Danny will be the first to admit he can be serious and… cranky. No sign of that guy this evening… just great stories of some of the greatest musicians of our time, from one of them, all wonderfully, entertainingly, told. We may have even heard a few previously undocumented firsts… starting as a kid discovering early rock ’n roll, to very soon playing it, summering on Martha’s Vineyard, and the early teenage friendship that would change his life. Jamie, as Kootch calls James Taylor, who talked him into some questionable behavior, then blamed him, classic! Not something I’d imagine or associate with sweet baby James. Their lifelong friendship, their musical collaboration, how it started, and why it ended. Meeting, working, and loving Peter Asher, Lou Adler, Carole King, Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar, Waddy Wachtel, Linda Rondstadt, and Jackson Browne. The story behind Somebody’s Baby. We talked about his extensive successful producing career (although he has a caveat which was fascinating to hear) - including Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Toto, and his extensive collaboration with Don Henley, the great and the tough of it. There are no endings with Kootch. Once family, always family. He remains close to all of them. And speaking of family, Danny spoke to the birth, development, and current state of affairs of The Immediate Family, his beloved creation. His frustration with the pandemic’s impact and the conflicting work schedules of his brothers doesn’t dampen his passion for their new album yet to drop, and their soon-to-be-released brilliant Denny Tedesco documentary, Immediate Family. There is remorse that Waddy Wachtel’s commitment as Stevie Nick’s musical director, a position he’s held for 25 years will keep him from 5 scheduled live shows, but Danny did drop some news… The Cars Elliot Easton will be jumping in for those shows, certainly softening the blow. 

This time with Danny was a joyous romp through the musical soundtrack of so much of my life. His songs, and his playing, are forever etched in my heart and soul. The man sure do know how to rock ’n roll. Good God!

Album Number Four Hundred Sixty One. “Twin Sons of Different Mothers” is the fifth album by singer-songwriter #danfogelberg . It's also a collaborative album with jazz flautist #timweisberg , released in 1978. It was the first of two collaborations between the pair; the second was “No Resemblance Whatsoever.” My copy is a gatefold on CBS Records’ Full Moon/#epicrecords - PE 35339. I really love the track “#tellmetomyface ” The closing track of the album, "#thepowerofgold ", was released as a single, reaching number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 51 in Canada. #rockandroll #theseventies and many contributors- #Neil Larsen #willieweeks #norbertputnam #andynewmark #jimkeltner #bobbyehall #joelala #glenspreen #donhenley https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhdmuyuXuv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Don Henley - The Boys of Summer - 1984 - Rock

Eagles 💙

Don Henley made a surprise appearance (well, maybe not really since Irving Azoff owns Pollstar) at the Pollstar Awards last night in Los Angeles. Don accepted the Milestone Award for the Eagles . “I appreciate this very much,” Henley said. “We are three shows into our 51st year as a band and touring entity — and feeling every one of them. But we feel very fortunate.” Link to original article in the comments.
