Dude, do you know Spicoli? You had a drug-induced brush with greatness.
A big Bay City Rollers fan, are you?

She survived.
“That part isn’t in question, though she didn’t “OD”.”
OD has had different definitions — fatal or not — over time and depending who you ask.
The girl did go into convulsions and hyperthermia and death can follow that easily but didn’t.
She wasn’t even taken to the hospital by the paramedics...
I can’t tell you why.
From what I see online, electrocution means injury by electricity as well as death.
>> Don Henley is one of the greatest singers of all time.
BS, and a BS reason for dismissing his reckless involvement with an exploited minor.
In this case I would blame
the Madame. Don would
have had to place his trust
into believing what the
Madame had to supply was
vetted to be of legal
age to engage in such
activities (illegal as they
may be).
And, I greatly prefer Eagles’
music over the Beatles any
day of the week.
Had a friend convicted of
statutory rape. The cops
caught them in the act in
the parking lot at a bar.
(not that this is an accepted
practice).
The bartender accepted her
false ID of her being 21.
LOL....you are absolutely insanely stupid.
To ignore their impact on rock/pop, culture, technology in the studio and their massive catalogue over 5-6 years is sheer stupidity.
The eagles went from a pleasing SoCal country-pop group to a slickly produced sound with only a few memorable songs in their small and very limited catalogue. In fact, JD Souther wrote/co-wrote their better songs.
Finally, John Lennon was a far better rock singer than Henley.
I think Don McLean sold the manuscript for American Pie for that kind of money.
There are some very rich boomers out there.
Here, found the Christie’s listing. $1.2 million.

Clever.
“you are absolutely insanely stupid.”
Well, that’s quite charming. I can feel the love.
“JD Souther wrote/co-wrote their better songs.”
So? I never mentioned the writing; just the two groups’ final products. and my favorite Eagles songs were the ones where Souther was involved — Souther/Frey really.
“John Lennon was a far better rock singer than Henley.”
So? As I said above, I was commenting about both groupS. Not the writing. Not a particular singer. I’m not a fan of Henley’s voice; he strains when he sings. Glenn Frey was my favorite. John Lennon ... common.
My major in college was Music. Of course, college was seminary, and the music was Church Music, so we never got into Eagles vs Beatles, although the Beatles had been around for a few years by that time. Eagles ... I don’t think so.
Thanks for making my point.
btw, I spent a few years on the pro-side providing tech assistance in remastering classic & iconic albums receiving credits on the albums.
I’ve been gifted many albums (hundreds of ‘dry” tracks) copied/burned direct from the raw master studio tapes before the dreaded reverb was added to the commercial release. Additionally, the mastering engineer I provided tech assistance was invited to Abbey Road to finalize a deal to remaster the entire Beatles catalogue. While there, he received direct copies of their albums and unreleased studio demos that he also gifted me.
In that music industry setting, the Beatles were always regarded as being far superior to Eagles in all areas - from songwriting, to studio recording technology to changing pop/rock culture.
The eagles, after their SoCal country-rock era, was just a slickly produced band with a catalogue of “same old, same old” songs that never showed musical or intellectual growth.
To believe the Beatles was a fad and the eagles far superior is just...well...insane stupidity lacking a grasp on reality.
OK. So it’s not possible for different people, with different tastes, to have different opinions?
Sorry...but factual reality and accomplishments are not subjective.
How exactly is that relevant?
Yeah, they’re OK lol.
