I'm Listening to the Eagles (page 3)

Snowbird, have you been taking a mind altering chemical ?

Nope. Only Dexilant, Norvasc, and potassium gluconate.

The Eagles, are you serious ?

Deadly Lively serious.

I've never been a big fan of the Eagles, but I've always loved their lead singer's solo song In The City for The Warriors soundtrack. Tough song. Even when I hated rock and roll, when he sang, "It's survival in the city, when you live from day to day, see the streets don't have much pity"

I'm with you on this one Miz . . . the song was penned, I believe, by Joe Walsh. I don't mind some Eagles stuff but not an avid "fan".

Joe Walsh, on the other hand, played a brand that I found musically and lyrically more to my pop/rock taste. Songs like "help me through the night", "in the city", "walk away", "turn to stone".

His album from early 70's "You Can't Argue With a Sick Mind" . . . is a fine collection of songs . . . The album title is a good reminder for XJW's as well . . . ha ha

I ended up singing this song in my head after reading this thread. It never occurred to me before, how meaningful these lyrics are for an XJW . . . so I thought I'd post them. Somewhere along the way, I found the meaning
Woke up dreaming - along the way
It never quite seems the same when you awaken
And making up for the time is such a price to pay
And then they take the dream away
And it just ain't fair

So, help me through the night mama
Help me ease the pain
And tell me it's alright
Help me through the night, once again

That's the danger in pretending
Trying to defend yourself from someone else's war
Don't know what they're fighting for
And they just don't care So, help me see the light mama
Open my eyes again
And tell me it's alright
Help me through the night once again

Yeah sizemik, for me right now it would have to be the DEAD KENNEDYS

"Religious Vomit"

[Chorus]
All religions make me wanna throw up
All religions make me sick
All religions make me wanna throw up
All religions suck
They all claim that they have the truth
That'll set you free
Just give 'em all your money and they'll set you free
Free for a fee

They all claim that they have 'the Answer'
When they don't even know the Question
They're just a bunch of liars
They just want your money
They just want your consciousness

[Chorus]
All religions suck
All religions make me wanna throw up
All religions suck
All religions make me wanna BLEAH

They really make me sick
