"The whole 'white people can't dance/sing/etc.' wears on me just a bit."

You could always seek reparations from Russell Peters. He does a bit in his standup act about having to go to the men's room to throw up or something the first time he saw white people trying to do the Chicken Dance at a wedding.

I admit to a soft spot for BTO.  First, because I was a big Guess Who fan.  Later, "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" imprinted at a... seminal moment in my young life.  Nowadays, Bachman hosts a show called Vinyl Tap Saturday nights on the CBC wherein he plays stuff he likes amid anecdotes.  It's hardly exciting, but he comes off as likable and knowledgeable.

"a show called Vinyl Tap"

That's good.
You get CBC?

Yep, kind of.  I used to have a couple of reliable over-the-air options, but lost the best one when they sold off the 70,000-watt Toronto monster on 740 AM.  After that, I found a stable FM signal but with the FCC glutting up the stateside airwaves with more and more cookie-cutter stations it's all but squeezed out.  So, nowadays, I get my fix via the web.

I often wondered who was responsible for "Undun", which was very jazzy.  Very cool guitar work. 

When I saw the version Ringo and the All Starr Band with Burton Cummings, they played Undone.  So I assume he had a major role in it.  But then again, I was in the audience in LA when Joe Walsh, as a member of the All Starr Band, played "Desperado" solo on piano, the evening after Don Henley was quoted in the press as complaining about Walsh playing "Life in the Fast Lane", which Walsh only co-wrote.  Henley said something to the effect of, "now people will assume Joe Walsh wrote that song".  So, as a total 'in your face' move, Walsh played Desperado, which the whole world knows is a Don Henley song (well in LA the Eagles are HUGE and to them anything that happens in LA is pretty much the whole world).

I just looked it up, Wikipedia says Undun was written by Bachman alone.

The Eagles are like calamari. People tend to love them or not get them at all. I think a lot of it has to do with Henley's pretentiousness. He's quite possibly the most humorless person in the history of the music industry.

Re: Remember when the 70's sucked?!?

Turn on the TV
And what did I see?
This bloated hairy thing
Winning a Grammy
Best Rock Vocalist?
Compared to what?
But your pseudo-serious
Crafty Satanic blot
Don Henley must die!
Put a sharp stick in his eye!
Don Henley must die!
Yea yea yea

Quit playin' that crap
You're out of the band

I'm only kidding
Can't you tell?
I love his sensitive music
Idiot poetry, swell
You and your kind
Are killing rock and roll
It's not because you are O L D
It's cause you ain't got no soul!
Don't be afraid of fun
Loosen up your ponytail!
Be wild, young, free and dumb
Get your head out of your tail
Don Henley must die!
Don't let him get back together
With Glenn Frey!

Just remembered another 80's album:

Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls".

Great memories to the first track!

Is it just me, or does anyone else look at that picture and think Tyler had been dressed in make up and drag, come on to a guy who, when he discovered Tyler was a "Dude (lookin) like a lady)", he punched Tyler's teeth out . . . ?
