RE Eagles lyric to "Take It Easy"
<<<From: erhoek@comcast.net
I am not sure if they mention Tucson but I know they mention Winslow,
Arizona (home of the meteor crater) for sure.
This is the song that talks about "trying to loosen my load"...correct?
That always sounded like someone is constipated in that song to me . >>>
Right you are, my bad.
Funny you should say that about the "load loosening" lyric, my buddy and I
used to think the same thing when the song came out. Our prepubescent minds
used that line as a touchstone for an entirely different set of lyrics for
the song. Only 11 year old boys would make up complete song lyrics about
those types of bodily functions... Well, maybe 11 year old boys and Weird
Al...

(thinking it would be entirely too embarrassing to mention the titles of the
countless Eagles, Beach Boys and Beatles lyrics we "re-wrote" as wee lads...
And also thinking it's kind of em-bare-ass-ing to admit that I actually
remember a lot of them at this age...!)
PS - on a related topic, and now that whatever little credibility I had is
entirely shot - I must say that I think the first three Eagles albums are
excellent. They've been favorites of mine for as long as I've listened to
music, and upon a recent listen, I still come to the same conclusion. This
string of elpees was before Hotel California, when they went from "country
rock" to "rock". Or should I say, from "highly melodic country rock with
great harmonies" to "boring middle of the road AOR rock". 'Course, I know a
lot of you despise the Eagles, but to each his own... (I know, I skipped
mention of their fourth LP featuring "One of These Nights" - never much
liked this album either - to me it doesn't fit in either of my pre- or
post-HC categories.)
