Excellent comment! ...though the song might not be the greatest.
I guess I'm commenting more on the comment than the song.

We don't have many people voicing dissent anymore, and those that do musically are usually derided for doing so. I never understand this. Henley, Sinead O'Connor, Tom Petty, anybody who opens their mouth usually gets told to shut up. But then again, now that US culture is largely corporate, I suppose everybody should just sit down, shut up, and continue to CONSUME. Don't complain, let this week's war continue, and for heaven's sake, no angst!
ugh.... hard to sit thru this
maybe he is a Dietrich fan
Dig the Zappaesque voiceover.
some parts of the chord progression and melody really sound like \"life in the fast lane\".
I don\'t mind political commentary, I just don\'t like it shoved down my throat. That\'s how I feel when I listen to some of Henley\'s songs. It seems as if you don\'t believe the way he does, then you don\'t matter.
I would really prefer less angst, thank you very much.
Agreed!

Led Zeppelin meets The Eagles, or something? Powerful, but that\'s not always saying a lot.

No no.. you've confused Don Henley with Brittany Spears.. I'm sure you could see the difference...
:D
I LIKE this song... it caught me off gaurd the first time I heard it, because I came in on the section where he was speaking "devilishly" ... and then heard his voice... pretty distinct actually.. and knew it was him.
As for the Arab comment ... if you meant as a joke.. try winking or adding a smile / toothy grin... if you seriously think that's that case as to why we have been attacked by terrorists... keep in mind.. most of what we've seen so far, the terrorists don't believe in the ideals of "america" .. ie free will, common law, respect, etc.. look at the symbols of freedom from oppression from the onset of this war.. Men cutting their hair & beards the way they want them, their freedom to worship in a way they decide is right for them.. etc etc etc... freedom is as freedom does... if Don Henley was really the cause of the upset, with lyrics such as in his song... then you should be joining the terrorists, not staying here.
I think the lyrics should actually be trying to enlighten people that there ARE others out there that think like this.. and hope that THEY would hear it and have their own rapture and then start to change..
::soap box stepdown::

Once again Don Henley is trying too hard .... If he wants to be \"creative,\" why doesn\'t he stop using that same guitar riff over and over again?
This is Don Henley? Would never have guessed...
