Bokovoy's too sexy for his hair. That's why his head's bare.

Actually, I'm not quite convinced that David's not the lead singer from Right Said Fred. Too sexy for another hit, but not too sexy for Mopologetics?

LOL! Ohh, I've got plenty of hair! Just not on the top of my head. Living in Boston I get misidentified all the time for Kevin Youkilis of the Red Sox.

I can't tell you how many people I've disappointed. Personally, I don't see it. He's a bit skinny:

Your current avatar gave me a song "flash back." One of the greatest Eagles songs ever: Those Shoes. I couldn't find an Eagles version on YouTube, but I did find a cute chick drummer playing along with a recording of it. She's a pretty darn good drummer ... for a girl. ;-)

Chick Drummer Jamming to Those Shoes

Those Shoes

Tell us what you're gonna do tonight, momma
There must be some place you can go
In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama
There must be someone you know
God knows you're looking good enough
But you're so smooth, and the world's so rough
You might have something to lose
Oh no, pretty momma
What you gonna do in those shoes?

Got those pretty little straps around your ankles
Got those shiny little chains around your heart
You got to have your independence,
But you don't know just where to start
Desperation in the singles bars
All the jerkoffs in their fancy cars
You can't believe your reviews
Oh no, you can't do that
Once you've started wearing those shoes

They're waving at you, leaning on you,
Tell you everything you wanna hear
They give you tablets of love
They're waiting for you, got to score you
Handy with a shovel and so sincere
Ooh, they got the kid gloves

You just want someone to talk to
They just wanna get their hands on you
You get whatever you choose
Oh no, you can't do that
Once you've started wearing those shoes
Oh no, you can't do that
Once you've started wearing those shoes

A good band to be sure! Yet as Ian Matthews' version of "Seven Bridges Road" recorded in 1973 illustrates, the Eagles were but pale imitators of the genius that preceded their work. Personally, when it comes to that genre or rock, I'd take the Flying Burrito Brothers over the Eagles any day.

I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person who finds the Eagles rather boring and often annoying. I don't know what it is, but their stuff just seems derivative and rather in keeping with the numb corporate music of the late 70s.

Kick ass.

Same as always.

It's a miracle the bows stay so clean.



Appropriate youtube video of the song you referenced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhS7OvT_9-k

PS. John, you're not the only one. I don't care for the Eagles, either. Listening to them is Wasted Time. I might do it as a Last Resort. I Can't Tell You Why I don't like them, but I can tell you I Don't Wanna Hear Any More. Meh. It's probably because I'm just a Witchy Woman.

/derail. No more shoe or Eagles commentary from me, Kevin.

I think this is a reflection of something you once read in Rolling Stone way back "in the day," and came to believe that it was the kind of attitude "edgy" and "sophisticated" people were supposed to have towards the Eagles.

Of course, I fully allow for honest differences of opinion when it comes to music. Nevertheless, I suspect there is a very damn good reason the music of the Eagles will continue to be heard on radio stations (or their futuristic analog) well into the next millennium and beyond, long after bands like The Heavy have been forgotten forever (along with the music of a lot of other bands and artists I have really loved through the years). That's just the nature of the beast.

Maybe it's just personal preference (I don't read Rolling Stone). I admit it; when I think of good late 70s music I think of "London Calling" and "Rust Never Sleeps," not "The Long Run." I don't know. I just never liked the Eagles.

And yes, I do like The Heavy.

I'm waitiing for Dude to express his opinion about the Eagles.
