Don Felder

So you intend to keep rocking?

Well, we just finished a tour, nine months with Don Felder.

who, as you probably know, wrote Hotel California and Witchy Woman, all that stuff.

And he said the same thing to me.

And we're still living the dream.

I'm with my guitar on stage every night.

And same with Don Felder.

We're going to rock till we drop.

Yeah.

And it's kind of weird because that's another part of the Eagles story is that like Don Felder in his book says, you know, they had this line, add a word and gain a third, meaning that Glenn Frey would take your song and add a word to it and then put his name on the song and get a third of the songwriting royalties.

There you go.

kind of a sense that, you know, a lot of those songs, they were, you know, most people would say, hey, you know, Joe wrote that song.

They're, you know, like I said, quintessential LA rock.

And it was Glenn Frey, Don Henley, the guy who, Don Felder was the band member who wrote that song, Hotel California.

They had Bernie Ledin, Randy Meisner, and then Joe Walsh joined the band.

Timothy B. Hutton? No, Timothy B.

Yes.

Don Felder is the one doing the lead on that song.

Yeah.

And he was born, some people aren't born yesterday, but he was born yesterday.

know? Exorcist over here.

It is the birthday of Don Felder of the Eagles, born on this day in 1947.

Dude,

he's 79.
