Standing on a corner in Winslow, a town struggling to become more than a line in an Eagles song, any candidate could understand why.
On his current tour, anyone wanting to hear Eagles songs will have to sit through 17 others before he gets to "Life in the Fast Lane."
Many songs were steady-strummed ballads like Eagles songs, but with uneasy feelings.
The band keyed their instruments and the opening notes of the Eagles song "Already Gone" began pulsing through the crowd.
The song is based on a sample from the Eagles song "Those Shoes".
These are not Eagles songs however, since the studio cuts did not originate under the Eagles name.
"Another night, it's gonna be a long one," as the Eagles song goes.
It's like the old Eagles song, Al.
Occasionally Eagles songs would get drastic rearrangements, such as "Hotel California" with four trombones.
As I got closer, I realized that the music was not live, but an "Eagles" song being broadcast by a local radio station.
