Don Henley, or as I call him, God, was in Oklahoma City tonight, performing at the Zoo Ampitheater. Henley is the lead singer of the Eagles, for those of you who don’t know that. And if you don’t know it, what are you doing on my blog, anyway. Get out of here immediately!
Anyway, I did not see Henley tonight. I stewed and stewed and eventually decided not to go. I had the Wichita Open golf tournament to cover, anyway. And I just went to a great concert last night at Cessna Stadium. Hippiefest was so much fun with the Turtles, the Zombies, Mitch Ryder, Badfinger, Mountain and Iron Butterfly, as well as a couple of other bands.
The Zombies stole the show, in my opinion. That is one great group with its two founding members still around. ‘She’s Not There’ is among my favorite songs of all time.
But back to Henley. I have seen him seven times in person, going as far as North Carolina to do so. I can’t get enough Henley, but tonight I didn’t answer the bell. Don, forgive me. I know the Eagles are putting the finishing touches on a record that is to be released later this year. That is to be followed by a major tour in 2008. I vow to see the Eagles at least twice during that tour (come to Wichita again, guys). But tonight, no go. Please forgive me.
