This song was the 5th track on their One of these nights album and is certainly one of their classics. Apparently the inspiration for this song came about as follows:

The title and idea for the song came when Glenn Frey and Don Henley were in their favourite Los Angeles restaurant/bar Dan Tana’s which was frequented by many beautiful women, and they started talking about beautiful women who were cheating on their husbands. They saw a beautiful young woman with a fat and much older wealthy man, and Frey said: “She can’t even hide those lyin’ eyes.” (Wikipedia)

This was the title song their hit album of that name released all the way back in 1975.

I remember seeing the Eagles in concert back in the day when George Bush junior was President. They introduced this song by stating that they hoped Bush would already been gone by the time the next Presidential election came along. Seeing Trump thankfully fall from power yesterday, reminded me of this song.

I lost my license now I don’t drive.” Also in this version notice the slight comical change in the line: “I making records my fans they can’t wait. They write me letters tell me Glen’s great.”

Well the first version of this song I got from Youtube had this line but it was deleted and the replacement version is of a different concert. In this one Joe has fun with the speed of his Maserati.

Time to return to some classic rock. A while back Grace nominated me to do ten classic album covers so I shall combine this into my Covid Island discs. The first album cover is from the classic Eagles album Hotel California. Funnily enough Hotel California looks a lot like the Trafford Centre in Manchester. Also spot the conjoined 6 string/12 string electric guitar. Very cool.
