Eagles Tickets - Not Happy With Republicans by Brent Warnken

Eagles' band member Don Henley has beef with republican senate candidate Charles DeVore after DeVore allegedly used two of his solo songs in campaign videos without the singer's permission. Apparently the two songs in question are: "The Boys of Summer" and "All She Wants to Do Is Dance." The lyrics in latter song were apparently altered to attack rival democrat Barbara Boxer, according to a report issued by BBC News. Dancing must be bad. Henley is suing the republican for use of his material without permission, but Devore is fighting back, issuing a counter claim based on First Amendment rights, accusing Henley of "liberal goon tactics." Not sure what "liberal goon tactics" are? Apparently requesting that someone ask before using your copyrighted material for ad campaign purposes is considered liberal goon tactics. Of course many people just think of it as "the law" or whatever. Follow the scoop with Don Henley and see when he and the Eagles with tour next by going online and get your own pair of Eagles tickets.

The Eagles are one of the more successful pop outfits from the 1970s and they have managed to carry their success in the industry through to the 1980s, 1990s and even on into the 2000s. It is possible that most people around the world know the lyrics to "Hotel California" by heart and many listeners relate to the country/folk tinged sound that emerges through each of their ballads. Even when they were no longer together as a band, they still managed to outsell even the hottest modern day groups, and eventually this popularity encouraged the band members to mount a reunion that ensued during the mid-1990s. The Eagles were flying high.

Their self-titled debut album arrived in June 1972 and reached the Top 20, achieving gold status. The two Top Ten hits associated with this first effort are "Take It Easy" and "Wichy Woman." Another ballad, "Peaceful Easy Feeling," also did well on the charts, reaching the Top 20. A follow-up album titled Desperado, arrived in 1973 and reached the Top 40 on the charts, spawning the hit song "Tequila Sunrise." The band took their show on the road and spent most of their early years as an outfit playing at venues throughout the country, driving up support for their music.

On the Border became the group's fastest selling album, going gold and achieving a spot in the Top Ten on the charts. "The Best of My Love" hit number one on the easy listening chart and crossed over to the pop charts only a month later. Their fourth album, One of These Nights, blew away all of their previous releases, hitting number one on the charts shortly after its release and spawning the hit songs "Lyin' Eyes" and "Take it to the Limit." The album and its singles resulted in several Grammy nods in 1975. Following up the successes were Their Greatest Hits and a fifth studio album, Hotel California. The later song, arguably their most popular ballad, hit the number one on the charts and the album won the 1977 Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

The band members split up after releasing a sixth studio album, The Long Run, and much of the 1980s was devoted to solo careers for the members. They finally reunited in the 1990s and have been busy touring and releasing new material.
