Jerry Brown is cool again in California, why not The Eagles?
I went to high school in the Valley in the late 1970s, and The Eagles, and
the rest of the acts that constituted the "Southern California Sound" were
literally the soundtrack of my school adolescent experience (the "Motown
Sound" was the soundtrack of my adolescent experience with my neighborhood
friends). I have always bristled when my hipper-than-thou friends with
their noses stuck in the Rolling Stone, in college and beyond, dumped on
both of those styles of music as being too mainstream or easy to listen to.
All I know is nothing makes a 17 year old feel more profound and complex
than lying on some pillows on the floor with a few hot chicks listening to
"Hotel California", and nothing made this 14-year old feel hipper than
dancing with a hot chick to the Temptations.
