I never heard of any of them as junkies

Cocaine booze and quaaludes

And girls....often barely legal groupies at parties in the Hills

The usual late 70s fare

These were Texan and Midwestern boys caught up in the hedonism of LA and music machine of Irving Azoff

That’s what the song is about

Henley also wrote about the death of summer of love idealism like deadhead sticker on a Cadillac

Certain kind of fool is my favorite eagles song and one last note

No Jackson Browne

No Eagles

Joe Walsh equals good guy who the girls loved for that....but he was wild
