While I may not agree with the sentiment, I can't believe not one person in this whole thread has quoted this: I think it's laughable that this band, whom Don Henley described a few years ago as more like CEOs than rock stars, still considers itself relevant. Added to that is the fact that they purport to espouse lefty politics, yet made their most recent album available exclusively at Wal-Mart and I have a very hard time respecting them. It's tough to deny their influence and legacy, but with the current spectacle they tour with they have become little more than the world's greatest Eagles' cover band.
