Description
Summary:"So, the Eagles warn us about the outrageous and ruthless lifestyle of the ambitious rock 'n' roller. In fact, Don Henley could barely listen to "Life in the Fast Lane" when they were recording it. He was so high that it made him sick. The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, and almost supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting betrayal, hate-filled hubris, discarded lovers, and former bandmates left unburied on the road behind them. The Eagles' story is a truly Gothic American fable told here with definitive insights by legendary rock journalist Mick Wall" -- Back cover.
