Well man, I was gripped by this despite, you know, Wall's frequent resort to crazy ventriloquism. I mean, man, is this Jim talking, is this factual or not?
Actually, as one progresses it becomes apparent what an effective approach Wall has taken. The narrative is speedily progressed, the atmosphere effectively evoked and I love Wall's objectivity and scepticism in dealing with everyone from Morrison to Ray Manzarek. (He is particularly funny and occasionally scathing about Manzarek's efforts in maintaining the enduring myths about The Doors.) Gripping.… (meer)

A bitter and twisted tale of ambition and avarice.
Reads more like the death of the 60's hippie dream than the birth of the Eagles 70's nightmare. They made their own luxurious bed and lay in it, must've been a hell of a lot of fun at the time, probably still is, for the ones who survived. They don't have to make any more music, just top-up the bank account with another lucrative nostalgia tour, when they can be bothered.

'Make hay while the sun shines' would be their motto, and who can blame them?… (meer)

On the whole, very interesting. I enjoyed the behind the scenes bit where they talked about their relationships, management, other issues etc but found some of a bit dryer like when they went through a track by track analysis of some of their albums, as someone who had listened to them, I didn't really need it so found myself skipping it. On the whole, a decent read.
