I was looking through some of my recent posts (I know they are all recent--just shut up and listen), and I noticed something very important I left out of the Eagles Play by Play. When I was a teenager, my sister and I would listen to Eagles record albums (on vinyl--big black dinner-plate sized discs if you don't recognize the word) and would challenge each other on who sang which songs. We usually agreed, but occassionally disagreed. But we always had fun with it. And we'd sing Eagles songs constantly while doing dishes together, which made the task go much faster and kept us from arguing over how to do it, since we both had our own way and thought the other should fall in line. We'd always get hung up on the words; especially on "Seven Bridges Road" and "The Last Resort." We'd fuss with each other until dishes were done and then go watch TV and forget all about it until next time.
Anyway, these memories roared through my brain the entire time I watched the concert on TV, and I think they added to the sentiments I was feeling. Even if I didn't truly love their music, I would still have a very strong connection to the band because of those memories.
