Help anybody! I am desperately trying to find out the name of a certain Rock singer. This man was the bassist for the Eagles in say the late 70's. He also did some singing; he did the lead vocal on Take It To The Limit. The man also had a single called Hearts On Fire or something close to that. If you know this man please send to allred@AMSAA. Your knowledge will be praised by millions.

How can my knowledge be "praised by millions" unless I post a reply to the whole net? :-) Seriously, The Eagles' bassist was Randy Meisner. I didn't know he had a (new) solo album out... Speaking of the Eagles, did anyone see last Friday's (repeat of) Miami Vice? Glenn Frey played a pilot who flys people to Colombia so they can buy cocaine. He was pretty funny, especially when Crockett and Tubbs (the two main cops of the show) first find him -- Jamming on his guitar in his plane hangar. I thought he did a pretty good job in his acting debut... Speaking of the Eagles again, does anyone else out there like either/both of Don Henley's solo albums? I think they're both very good. I read an interview of him in last Sunday's Chicago Tribune. He says "We're [the Eagles] all speaking to each other again." But, he goes on to say "I'm certainly not comparing us to the Beatles, but I understand their reasons for not wanting to get back together." He also told the Trib. that they were offered "$2 million or $3 million to get back together for the last US Festival." So, I suppose things look bad for an Eagles get-together in the near future (although, I'm not sure that's all bad). I especially liked his comment that "I don't see any harm in doing social commentary as long as you can dance to it." --Robert Yen ihnp4!iwu1d!rsy AT&T Bell Labs Naperville, IL

> Speaking of the Eagles again, does anyone else out there like either/both > of Don Henley's solo albums? I haven't sat down and listened to the albums but (some of) the cuts that I have heard have been pleasantly surprising. (I always detested the Eagles.) My favorite cut is 'Johnny Can't Read'. The video that went with it (must have been a couple of years ago) was, for then, one of the most innovative that I'd seen.
