Eagles Denounce America
Add the Eagles to the list of washed-up entertainment industry has-beens who have resorted to pushing their moonbattery over the top in a pathetic effort to reanimate their decomposing careers. Reviewing their new Long Road Out of Eden, Warner Todd Huston offers a few samples of the lyrics:
Music blasting from an SUV, on a bright and sunny day. Rolling down the interstate, in the good ol' USA. Having lunch at the petroleum club, smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lies.
Sums up America, doesn't it? And how about this:
Weaving down the American highway through the litter and wreckage and the cultural junk, bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda, and now we're driving dazed and drunk.
…and this:
But the road to empire is a bloody, stupid waste, behold the bitten apple, the power of the tools. But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools.
…and this too:
And we pray to our Lord, who we know is American. He reigns from on high. He speaks to us through middlemen and he shepherds his flock. We sing out and we praise his name. He supports us in war; he presides over football games. And the right will prevail, all our troubles shall be resolved. We hold faith above all, unless there's money or sex involved.
Other songs snivel about how we've allegedly destroyed the environment and depict an American soldier giving up on the idea of fighting terrorists in Iraq.
Sadly, there probably are Americans who will pay these tired old zillionaires to insult them — hopefully not many, though.
On a tip from Cheetah.

Wow, this is what we've waited some 30 years for? I think another 30 year wait is in order.

They're even late in THAT. You have to jump on the bandwagon (So to speak) while it's fresh, otherwise people will say "are THEY still alive?".

The Eagles have flown the coop.

"Take it easy", Eagles, I got a "Peaceful Easy Feeling", there's gonna be a "Heartache Tonight". "I can't tell you why", but "One of these Nights", you'll come to realize the fans have noticed your "Lyin Eyes", and they'll be "Already Gone".In "The Long Run", you'll be universally regarded as the buffoons you truly are, so "Get over it".

Let's see. Don Henley is pointing out our excess, our lack of control, and the idiocy that is the war in Iraq. Sounds like a dose of reality juice to me.
Bring our sons and daughters home, and let the middle-east sort itself out. Our troops have not been fighting for our country, they've been fighting and dying for this ridiculous president and his right-wing war hawk buddies. Bring our troops home now.
