Prosecutors in the trial involving handwritten lyrics from the Eagles’ 1976 classic Hotel California dismissed the case on Wednesday in a surprise decision that seemingly puts an end to one of the more unusual music-related criminal trials in recent years.
In the criminal case, three men were accused of conspiring to possess stolen property. That property in question was over 100 pages of drafts of songs from the Eagles’ landmark album, written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The trial was heading into its third week on Wednesday when, in a letter to Judge Curtis Farber,...

Seated at a witness stand in Manhattan court on Monday, Don Henley was doing his best to contain himself and what he was feeling. But every so often, the boldface-name witness in a trial involving allegedly stolen handwritten lyrics to songs from the Eagles’ Hotel California couldn’t help himself.
Take the moment Henley was asked if he recalled sending legal pads with lyric drafts to writer Ed Sanders for research of the group’s planned Eagles biography more than 40 years ago. “I don’t recall offering to send him lyric pads,...

It took three days, but one of the stars of the case involving allegedly stolen handwritten lyrics from the Eagles’ Hotel California album emerged Friday. And it wasn’t Don Henley or any of the other band members over the decades: It was paper.
On Friday, glimpses of the yellow pads with in-progress lyrics from the album’s title track were shown during testimony by Tom Lecky, a former manuscripts executive at the auction house Christie’s. The photos, taken for a Christie’s listing that never went up, showed one...

A year and a half after three men were arrested for allegedly conspiring to sell handwritten lyrics to Eagles songs without the band’s consent, their trial finally began yesterday — along with its share of allegations, backstage tidbits, and a cliffhanger worthy of a fictional TV trial.
On Wednesday, the three defendants — rare-books collector Glenn Horowitz, memorabilia seller Edward Kosinski, and former Rock and Roll Hall of Fame curator Craig Inciardi — faced a judge, but no jury, in New York State Supreme Court. In the words of Assistant Manhattan District Attorney Nicholas Penfold,...

A woman who worked as a masseuse on an Eagles tour a decade ago filed a lawsuit Tuesday against James L. Dolan, the chairman and CEO behind Madison Square Garden, and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein, among others, alleging sexual assault and trafficking.
The plaintiff, Kellye Croft, claims that in late 2013, Dolan enticed her into a sexual relationship and hired her for the tour on which Weinstein, whom she says was a close friend of Dolan’s, sexually assaulted her. She says when she told Dolan about the rape, she alleges he was unsympathetic.

Kelly Clarkson soared during her rendition of the Eagle’s “Desperado,” the title track from the band’s 1973 album and one of their most enduring songs.
For the cover, the The Kelly Clarkson Show host took the stage for Friday’s episode alongside her music director Jason Halbert at the piano. While the beginning of the ballad stays close to the original’s structure, towards the end, Clarkson elevates the lyrics with her powerhouse vocals.
The performance follows Clarkson’s cover of Bloc Party‘s “Like Eating Glass” last week...

Eddie Merrins, the gentlemanly golf pro at the Bel-Air Country Club who taught the game to the likes of Bing Crosby, Ringo Starr, George C. Scott, Dean Martin, Celine Dion and Jack Nicholson, has died. He was 91.
Merrins died Wednesday after a long illness, according to UCLA, where he coached for 14 years. His son Michael had launched a GoFundMe campaign this year to help the family with expenses.
Nicknamed “The Little Pro,” the 5-foot-7 Mississippi native played on the PGA Tour before serving as Bel-Air’s head pro from 1962 until he was asked to step aside in 2003. However, he remained a beloved fixture at the fabled club as pro emeritus in a jacket/sweater, tie and white driving cap.
Remarkably, Bel Air, which opened in 1925, has had only three head pros: Joe Novak, Merrins and now Dave Podas.
Inducted into the PGA Hall of Fame in 2009, Merrins arranged for Jack Nicklaus to meet Tiger Woods,...

Randy Meisner has died. The founding member, bassist and vocalist of the Eagles died on Wednesday night due to complications from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, the band confirmed in a blog post. He was 77.
“Randy was an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band,” the band said in a statement. “His vocal range was astonishing, as is evident on his signature ballad, ‘Take It to the Limit'”.
Meisner was born on March 8, 1946, in Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. Prior to his time with The Eagles, Meisner served as a bassist and vocalist with Rick Nelson’s Stone Canyon Band.
Next, Meisner was at the forefront of the musical revolution in 1960s Los Angeles as the original bass player for the pioneering country-rock group, Poco.

He was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit, who also had succeeded Meisner in Poco after he left to form the Eagles.

When Lindsey Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac, he helped the group find unprecedented success but also opened them up to drama. Buckingham and then-girlfriend Stevie Nicks increased the band’s star power. Their tumultuous relationship also nearly broke the band apart. They weren’t the only ones causing problems, though. According to Buckingham, nobody was ever on the same page. He shared how he thought this made them the opposite of the Eagles.
Lindsey Buckingham said Fleetwood Mac was the opposite of the Eagles
Fleetwood Mac was an incredibly successful band in spite of their personal drama. They broke up with each other, had affairs, consumed copious amounts of drugs and alcohol, and fought over their music. Buckingham said they were rarely on the same page, even after years of working together.
“[T]hings change, and that’s a part of Fleetwood Mac,” he told Rolling Stone in 2012. “We’re a moving target.

People nowadays have forgotten just how good Cameron Crowe was at his peak. For the writer-director, Almost Famous was his masterpiece, which told the story of a teenage rock journalist on tour with a mid-level rock band in the seventies. For many of us, it remains one of the greatest modern films and a masterpiece that, almost twenty-five years later, remains a cultural touchstone for many of us. In this episode of Revisited, we examine Crowe’s seminal film and how it holds up all these years later.
One of the reasons that Almost Famous was such an essential film for Crowe is that it’s autobiographical. Like Spielberg’s recent The Fabelmans, Crowe fictionalizes his story somewhat, but many of the formative events that occurred in his life happen here. Like his main character, William Miller, Crowe was a teenage rock journalist for Rolling Stone Magazine. Crowe had begun...

This post contains spoilers for the two-episode premiere of "Barry" season 4.
Paul Rudd is a funny guy. He's funny on screen in roles in movies like "Ant-Man," "This Is 40," and "Clueless," but he's also apparently funny off-screen, where he seems to lend ideas to writers on both projects he's a part of and projects he has nothing to do with. In a recent interview, Rudd revealed that Judd Apatow used a real-life argument from Rudd's marriage in the "Knocked Up" script, and Marvel President Kevin Feige even says it was his idea to explore the quantum realm in the latest "Ant-Man" sequel.
It sounds like the actor loves to pitch ideas that might make for good comedy, and he did just that in a conversation with "Barry" co-creator and star Bill Hader that led to one of the show's most eclectic music choices. Hader appeared on The Prestige TV...

This piece contains spoilers for "Daisy Jones & The Six."
Viewers might feel a sense of familiarity watching Prime Video's "Daisy Jones & The Six" if you are a music fan. We have seen this narrative play out in both fiction and in real life — a band that starts off with passion fizzling out amongst themselves, becoming more infamous than actually famous. It seems from that the moment the titular band is truly formed, when music producer Teddy Price (Tom Wright) suggests that the soulful Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) joins the struggling Six, there was simmering drama ensuing.
Of course, that was always going to be the case. Thanks to inner-circle cheating scandals and conflicting views on where to take the band, the titular band's final show marked the explosive end to their story. For now, at least. That being said, the team behind "Daisy Jones & The Six" had plenty...

Daisy Jones & the Six is a documentary-style series that follows a 1970s band through their rise and implosion. While the show takes inspiration from a real band, the characters and their band are fictional. If you love the show and the on-screen band dynamics, here are documentaries that show real-life drama between bands.

Few California singer-songwriters are as adored as Jackson Browne. Despite being born in Germany to an American serviceman, Browne has been synonymous with the golden state since the Sixties. Raised in the now overwhelmingly hip Los Angeles neighbourhood of Highland Park, he began his career as a teenager in the city’s famous folk clubs, before a short stint in New York with his lover and collaborator, Nico. He returned to LA when he was still only 19 and found himself at the centre of a blossoming folk-rock scene that included his friends Linda Ronstadt and Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Ever since, Browne’s emotive Laurel Canyon-adjacent sound has moved seamlessly with the decades, from swooning Seventies ballads to his Eighties rockers – not to mention a surprising experiment with reggae. Later came more socially conscious work, such as his 2020 benefit album for Haiti. There have also been numerous environmentalist initiatives...

Glenn Frey’s son, Deacon, has left the Eagles after playing with the band his late father co-founded for the past four-and-a-half years.
The Eagles announced the decision April 6 in a note on their website, “Deacon Frey has devoted the past 4½ years to carrying on his father’s legacy and, after some weeks of reflection, he now feels that it is time for him to forge his own path. We understand, completely, and we support him in whatever he wishes to pursue in the years ahead.”

Exclusive: Amid a streaming-spurred frenzy for music catalog rights, Multimedia Music has acquired film and TV scores from nine-time Oscar nominee James Newton Howard.
Pricing for the catalog deal was not specified by the parties, but the transactions follows a $100 million funding round by Multimedia. The company, with offices in LA and London, is led by industry veterans Phil Hope and James Gibb in partnership with Atlantic Screen Music. Plans call for the funds raised from Metropolitan Partners Group and Pinnacle Bank to go toward acquisitions of other film and TV catalogs from composers, production companies or other rights holders.
With streaming music experiencing a boom, a string of deals have been sealed in recent months for the catalogs of major artists like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, James Brown and many others. Valuations for the priciest of those transactions, many of which include publishing rights, have surpassed $500 million. Film and...

The Eagles played their first gig since the start of the pandemic at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. The tour was originally slated to begin on Sunday, but Hurricane Henri forced them to scramble and bump it back two nights. Here’s fan-shot video of “Hotel California,” which kicked off the evening.
This is a continuation of their aborted 2020 Hotel California tour, which was derailed by the pandemic after just 10 gigs. Every night begins with a complete performance of their 1976 masterpiece. After a brief intermission, they...

Five years before she was inducted as a solo artist, Stevie Nicks took the stage at the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to honor Linda Ronstadt. She was joined by Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Carrie Underwood, and Glenn Frey — who delivered her induction speech minutes earlier.
“Linda lives in a place where art trumps commerce, where self-exploration trumps self-exploitation, where hard work and integrity trump fame and failure,” the late Eagle said. “She never wanted to be a star, she just wanted to make good music.”

“Thunder Force” is nearly half over before the action-comedy lands on a real joke: the introduction of co-star Jason Bateman as a half-superhero mutant with crab arms instead of human appendages. Jokes aside, Bateman’s “The Crab” also makes for a good foil to the eponymous Thunder Force, a pair of unexpected crime fighters who have emerged to battle the supervillain crime wave that has consumed the world since their childhood. They need all the help (or hurt) they can get.
Melissa McCarthy as lovable loser Lydia (Aka The Hammer) and Octavia Spencer as her super-smart former Bff Emily (Aka Bingo) are only on their first mission when they meet The Crab, and their do-gooding is soon upended by the career criminals they’re intent on stopping. And then, suddenly, weirdly, Lydia and The Crab connect, kicking off a dream sequence in which these two outsiders dance and twirl and...

The “Airplane!” school of chock-full-of-jokes conceptual parody, with its fourth-wall-smashing stupido-smart goofiness, had a pretty impressive run. It ruled for several decades, spawning everything from the “Airplane!” creators’ own “Naked Gun” franchise — to me, the media-age Marx Brothers-worthy masterpiece of the form — to the Wayans brothers’ “Scary Movie” franchise to several dozen comedies, from “Hot Shots!” to “National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon 1” to “Not Another Teen Movie,” that skewered genre after genre after genre with the puckish satiric glee that most of them deserved. But the “Airplane!” school didn’t stick around long enough to mount a full-scale comic attack on the superhero movie. Which is too bad, since it could have been stupendous. What comic-book films, with their authoritarian heroism and CGI bombast, just about cry out for is a parody that’s massively scaled in its high-flying mockery.

Following deals with the Beach Boys and David Crosby, Linda Ronstadt is the latest artist to sell her catalog to Irving Azoff’s new company Iconic Artists Group.
Although Ronstadt is one of the bestselling artists of all time, the fact that she’s not a songwriter makes her deal different from the Beach Boys — who sold a controlling interest in their intellectual property — and David Crosby, whose deal contained his publishing rights. Instead, Iconic has acquired Ronstadt’s assets, in a sale that includes name and likeness to promote the masters.

Season 20 of The Voice started off on a high note Monday night. Not only did it return to the coaching panel Nick Jonas (sitting in for Season 19 victor Gwen Stefani), it found Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend in excellent spirits as they ribbed one another and marveled at singers so promising, one even inspired our resident Egot winner to do something he’d never done on the show before. What was it, and who got him to do it? Read on…

Legendary guitarists Steven Van Zandt and Joe Walsh discuss the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt and Los Angeles in the Seventies in this clip from Little Steven’s Virtual RoadShow, an interview series co-hosted by Drew Carey.
“If we were gonna be a part of something bigger, it was gonna happen in L.A.,” Walsh tells Van Zandt and Carey of the Seventies music scene in Los Angeles. “And so everyone migrated there, and that’s where we all met.”

Chris Hillman couldn’t have chosen a better song title for this excerpted chapter from his upcoming memoir, Time Between — out November 17th via BMG. The chapter, which covers the end of the Sixties, is called “Sin City,” a song off the Flying Burrito Brothers’ 1969 debut, In the Gilded Palace of Sin.
Below, Hillman recounts the founding of the Burrito Brothers, his relationship with bandmate Gram Parsons and more, but casts it against the tumultuous backdrop of 1969, including the Manson murders and Altamont — tragedies that, in 2020, still resonate in harrowing ways.

Forty years ago this month, the Eagles wrapped up their 1980 tour with a show at the Long Beach Arena where they got into such a nasty before showtime that it spilled out onto the stage. The gig ended with Joe Walsh’s “All Night Long,” which you can hear right here. It was the last time that they played together until the start of the Hell Freezes Over tour 14 years later.

Music and sports — arguably the two forms of mainstream entertainment hardest hit by the pandemic lockdown — will get some succor on Sunday when ESPN will air its first-ever concert: the Eagles’ “Live from the Forum Mmxviii.”
For those whose roman-numeral-translation skills are lacking, the concert dates from 2018, when the group was on an extensive North American tour that found core members Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit accompanied by Vince Gill and Deacon Frey; the latter is the son of late Eagles cofounder Glenn Frey. The group arrived at the Forum in Los Angeles for three sold-out concerts on September 12, 14, and 15, with highlights from all three shows compiled into the new 26-song live album and concert film that premieres on ESPN Sunday night, presented by longtime Eagles fan, ESPN’s Chris Berman (who presumably will not say that the group “could… go… all… the… way!”).

He knew the right people, worked with the right collaborators, and looked and dressed better than many in his circle. But as even his friends acknowledged, timing was never one of David Blue’s strong suits — and if anyone needed a reminder, it arrived at his funeral.
For much of Blue’s career leading up to that day in December 1982, life hadn’t seemed especially fair. The singer, songwriter, and guitarist had rarely complained about it, but everyone except him seemed to be reaping the rewards of a life in music.

Up until this year, Bob Dylan had never really expressed much interest in the Eagles. But then in his epic song “Murder Most Foul,” released in March, he called out Don Henley and Glenn Frey by name, along with their 1975 classic “Take It to the Limit.” That inspired historian Douglas Brinkley to ask Dylan to name his favorite Eagles song when he interviewed him recently for The New York Times.
“‘New Kid in Town,’ ‘Life in the Fast Lane,’ ‘Pretty Maids All in a Row,'” Dylan said. “That could...

Bob Dylan’s incredible new song, “Murder Most Foul,” centers around the assassination of John F. Kennedy, but it’s also a “We Didn’t Start the Fire”–style journey through American history that touches on everything from the hanging death of Tom Dula in 1868 to the notorious murderer known as the Birdman of Alcatraz. By the end, Dylan is pleading with disc jockey Wolfman Jack to play music to distract him from the agony of it all, calling out everything from Billy Joel’s “Only the Good Die Young...

“A good day for living and a good day to die,” Bob Dylan sings on his epic, nearly 17-minute-long, song “Murder Most Foul.” Dylan released the track at midnight, March 27, according to Variety. The song uses the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to chronicle the decade it defined. “The day they killed him, someone said to me, son, the age of the antichrist has just only begun,” he sings. The offering is perfect for lyrical deconstructionists to pick apart while stuck at home during periods of enforced isolation.
“Greetings to my fans and followers with gratitude for all your support and loyalty across the years,” Dylan wrote when he announced the song via Twitter. “This is an unreleased song we recorded a while back that you might find interesting. Stay safe, stay observant and may God be with you.”

Bob Dylan fans woke up this morning to the stunning news that the songwriter had released a 17-minute epic titled “Murder Most Foul.” “Greetings to my fans and followers, with gratitude for all your support and loyalty over the years,” Dylan wrote. “This is an unreleased song we recorded a while back that you might find interesting. Stay safe, stay observant, and may God be with you.”
It’s his first original song since 2012’s Tempest, though he has released three albums of cover songs associated with Frank Sinatra since then.

Don Henley paid tribute to Kenny Rogers — the country star who helped the future Eagles singer land his first record contract — in a statement to Rolling Stone Saturday following the death of “the Gambler” at the age of 81.
“In addition to his tremendous talent, Kenny was a generous and caring man, a wise mentor to so many of us. He loved his friends, his family, his fellow musicians and his fans, and they loved him, right back,” Henley said.

Country music had a particularly important and diverse year in 1999. The Dixie Chicks released the country-rock of Fly, Faith Hill put out the polished Breathe, and George Jones reclaimed his legend status with Cold Hard Truth. Gary Allan touched on all of those elements on Smoke Rings in the Dark, a consequential record in the California country singer’s career that helped transform traditional country into something contemporary and approachable with well-produced songs like “Right Where I Need to Be,” the title track, and “Don’t Tell Mama.” “It sounded so modern,...

Midway through the Eagles marathon show at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, Don Henley stepped up to the microphone and addressed the crowd for one of the few times that evening.

Something familiar in uncertain times because life is like a box of chocolates, except with some boxes of chocolates you get a little map that...

Fans of Linda Ronstadt have swooned over her voice, a powerful instrument that can blast the dust off an Everly Brothers classic and breathe new life into jazz and mariachi standards. Yet what comes through most strongly in a recent documentary about the singer is the way she used her vocal abilities to call attention to the work of others.
“I can always do a harmony part,” Ronstadt says in a recent interview.
The film, “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice,” airs on CNN at 9 p.m. on New Year’s Day after a recent theater run, and tells the story via a time-capsule of clips, video moments and Ronstadt’s own words of how the singer captured public fascination with her carefully chosen covers of tunes by Roy Orbison, Clint Ballard Jr. and Warren Zevon, among others. But it also depicts her knack for helping those whose efforts...

Ten-time Grammy winner Linda Ronstadt was the first honoree to be celebrated during Sunday night’s CBS telecast of the 2019 Kennedy Center Honors ceremony. Eagles member Don Henley, who, along with future bandmate Glenn Frey, backed Ronstadt early in her solo career, presented a recap of highlights from the Arizona-born singer’s early life and her influential rise to stardom. In recognition of Ronstadt’s pivotal role as a crossover artist who routinely placed songs on the country and pop charts throughout the Seventies, country superstar Carrie Underwood delivered a...

Washington, D.C. — Political chatter was kept to a minimum Sunday night as the Kennedy Center Honors presented elaborate tributes to “Sesame Street” — made more poignant by the death of legendary puppeteer Caroll Spinney earlier in the day — as well as Sally Field, Linda Ronstadt, Earth, Wind and Fire and conductor Michael Tilson Thomas.
The gala, in its 42nd year, once again capped a weekend of festivities that included a banquet on Saturday night at the U.S. State Department. Excluded for the third straight year was any participation by President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, either as hosts of a traditional Sunday afternoon reception at the White House or attendees at the gala. It’s a workable arrangement for all given the president’s unpopularity within the arts and entertainment communities.

Sally Field, Linda Ronstadt, Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Tilson Thomas and Sesame Street were honored Sunday night at the Kennedy Center Honors, but what was all the more apparent was the tone of the show: A holiday season respite at one of D.C.’s most polarized moments. As the impeachment of President Donald Trump moves forward, among those attending were some of its most visible figures, like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose decision to open an inquiry led to this moment, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is among the administration figures defying congressional subpoenas. Also present: Chief Justice John Roberts, who would preside over a Senate trial.
A couple of times during the ceremony, host LL Cool J made oblique references to political divisions. He told the crowd of lawmakers, Trump administration cabinet secretaries, Hollywood figures and D.C. lobbyists that the honorees use their artistic talents...
