Entertainment Overnight and Quote of the Day, Both--Birthday Edition

Yes, happy birthday to singer, songwriter, performer Don Henley, born this day, July 22, 1947.


And that quote?

It can't get too much more appropriate than this.

These times are so uncertain

There's a yearning undefined

People filled with rage

We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive in such a graceless age?

Good night, all.

Cass County??

One-time Eagles rock and roll group writer, singer and performer Don Henley has a new album coming out September 25--his first in 15 years.

As it happens, it has a rather distinct country/country western flair and is named, rather significantly, maybe,

CASS COUNTY

Go figure, huh? 

You can listen to all the tracks here:

First Listen: Don Henley, 'Cass County' : NPR

Do you suppose he visited?

Peculiar? Harrisonville? Pleasant Hill?

(And no, I know it was based on Cass County, Texas but what the hey. We can pretend. Country is country, after all).

Enjoy your Sunday, y'all.

Quote of the day

"These times are so uncertain
There’s a yearning undefined
And the people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?"

--Don Henley, The Eagles, "The Heart of the Matter"

Entertainment overnight

I think it's about forgiveness...

Entertainment overnight

A great, soulful version of Don Henley's and the Eagle's classic.

On Sundays and churches

And you can see them there,


On Sunday morning

Stand up and sing about

What it's like up there

They call it paradise

I don't know why

You call someplace paradise,

Kiss it goodbye
