Reasons to hate Don Henley

I appreciate Joe Walsh in his Barney Rubble suit tho...

Don Felder created the iconic Hotel California riff. Of course, Henley disputed this in court...but the tapes proved it. So..fuck you Henley!

Henley was one of Heidi Fleiss's best customers.

That's 22 years old, OP.

This is Henley now:

R3, Don Henley has a huge cock.

Having a teenaged conquest of his take the rap for prostitution when he and his pals were bringing underage gals to his Laurel Canyon fuck pad. IIRC, the 15 y.o. girl was convicted of solicitation and Don and pals got nothing for statutory rape, nevermind the huge supply of drugs on premises, but those were the 70s.

R4 still a cunt. Still looks and smells like a cunt.

R6 Rapist and let the minor take a rap? Yep. CUNT.

From Wikipedia: "Henley called paramedics to his home on November 21, 1980, where a 16-year-old girl was found naked and claiming she had overdosed on quaaludes and cocaine. She was arrested for prostitution, while a 15-year-old girl found in the house was arrested for being under the influence of drugs. Henley was arrested and subsequently charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He pled no contest, was fined $2,500 and put on two years' probation. Chiles, who was no longer in a relationship with Henley at the time of the incident, later said, "I was shocked to hear about it. He didn't have drugs around the house. It was an accident, I'm sure." The media attention from this incident was primary among the inspirations for the solo hit, "Dirty Laundry."[74]

Yees...you CUNT, you are definitely a victim of the media and not your own actions.

I’m in the music business and I have an associate who has personal experience with Donny. He’s an arrogant prick. I participated in a book written by my associate that was about the Eagles. Nothing salacious. It was all about the music. But he didn’t like it and had a hissy fit. His tantrum fell flat. I didn’t care.

Oh yeah, R7, the cuntiness wasn't being disputed. He's a cunt.

I just wanted to put up a current photo.

That crapfest of an overrated song is enough.

He let that bitch scrape me out of her cunt!

One of the most kickable faces you'll ever see.

Talk about being a creature of your times...no one needed these assholes around in the first place, even back then. His shitty drumming and pathetic hog-calling voice totally bite shit-bubbles too. After all, the Dead and Crosby, Stills & Nash already existed, and were better.

R15 exactly. How do these cunts fall into fortune? It's really appalling.

R10 Thank you for the inside perspective. So many cunts, Let's write about them ALL!

DON HENLEY MUST DIE!!!

Not disputed: DH was/is a cunt.

Not disputable: he and Glenn Frey were an amazing song-writing duo, and the Eagles were an epic band. Excellent musicians all around.

I think it's funny that he looks like Colonel Sanders now.

I don't care if he is a cunt, i love Boys of summer

Didn't Stevie Nicks write Rhianna about the unborn child he made her abort?

Sara R22.

His wife, Sharon, is a very nice person. She has MS, she's had it for years but they don't make a big to-do about it.

How can Henley make a "to do" about his wife's infirmity when he was a crass, on-the-loose rapist who rammed his inert, drug-addled teenage guests, & admitted to corrupting a minor (only b/c rich cunts like himself bought off entire police forces to lay off rape charges).

Henley was damn lucky he didn't get his ass torn at Chino or Deuel Vocational Institution where he deserved to live for a few years.

And we're supposed to feel sorry because he has a disabled wife? How many females did Don disable? CUNT!

That perm in the 70s that he lies about. Say 'perm' in his vicinity and he'll threaten to sue you.

Oh dear Stevie kicking gals in the cunt bone and Don H threatening legal action over his perm - a match made in heaven.

Average looking guy. If hadn’t been famous he would have been a serial killer. Creepy vibes. Talented musically, undeniably.

Don Henely must talk to his lawyer more than he talks to his wife.

R29 what a useless piece of shit. His best days are long behind him, he’s greedy as fuck and he has no creativity left, that’s why he has to scrounge for every dime he can off his glory days.

Don sat in a salon chair like an old dame throughout the 70s to maintain this 'do.

Did he also use Gillette Dry Look hairspray?

i like his music, but his face just oozes "I'm an asshole".

He was hot though

No secret that Henley and Glen Frey were absolute assholes. Talented musicians, though.

Blind Item on Don Henley. Top mogul is Jimmy Iovine. Singer is Stevie Nicks. Agent is Irving Azoff. The actress "Dirty Laundry" is supposedly about is Natalie Wood.

My parents were born in the late 60’s and my grandparents were born in the 40’s so I dodged having to listen to classic rock as a kid.

I can’t stand classic rock. I liked it when I discovered it at 18 for like 5 minutes.

Except I love Boston’s “More Than A Feeling”. Zeppelin too.

But The Eagles are gross.

R36 I don't see Stevie or Natalie Wood as part of Dirty Laundry; Jane Fonda and Jessica Savitch, maybe.

So many boomer musicians are unpleasant people personally. Henley, Clapton, Van Morrison...

I fucking hate The Eagles, man.

R38 the singer who helped him cover it up is Stevie. The song is about Natalie Wood. Just look at the wikipedia entry and it's source link.

The Wikipedia says Dirty Laundry is about media coverage of John Belushi and Natalie Wood deaths as well as Henley's own arrest and charge of "contributing to delinquency of a minor". So basically he doesn't like people calling out his bad behaviour. Uses other people's unfortunate circumstances to prop up his position as a "victim".

Funny song written by Mojo Nixon years ago called Don Henley Must Die. It’s on YouTube, I don’t know how to link, sorry. First line starts with “He’s a tortured artist…”

Stevie was no feminist icon. Far from it. Did Henley hook up with Bonnie Raitt? She seems too dull.

[quote] How do these cunts fall into fortune? It's really appalling.

Der. We give them money?

A few memorable tunes, a raging personality disorder.

Love Boys of Summer, but Don Henley didn’t write the music, just the lyrics. The music was written by Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & Heartbreakers.

The surviving victim of 1980 event is rumored Judy McCarthy the wife of Kevin McCarthy.

One of the most litigious cunts in the history an industry full of cunts.

He doesn't use face powder to tone down that shiny nose................................that forehead, those cheeks, that chin and turkey neck.

R48, Her age checks out. Would be crazy, if true.

So what happened to the big 2018 lawsuit CDAN promised?

Bump. I’m sad to hear he’s a cunt. I really like his music. Where can I read more about him and the rumored teen prostitutes? Why hasn’t the me too movement jumped on it? He looks horrible now.

Eagles was a great band.

Glen Frey looks hung like a stallion.

Yeah, but Felder is the one I woulda fucked.

Rock musicians engaging with underage groupies was prevalent from the 1950s through at least the 1980s.

3 of the original 5 eagles are still living, but only Don tours as the eagles. Schmidt and Walsh are essentially employees as is Vince Gill who joined them a few years ago. Glens son deacon replaced glen and does a good job with his dads songs.

Don felder was fired because he owned a 1/3 of eagles inc. and glen and Don wanted him to give up his share and become a hired hand like Walsh and Schmidt are. Fielders book is great and the history of the eagles documentary has the audio of glen and felder fighting on stage in 1980 while performing heartache tonight.

The Kennedy center honors were ridiculous not to include felder, randy meisner and Bernie leadon in the honors.

In the book You’ll Never Make Love in this Town Again, Don was credited to be one of the worst, along with Don Simpson, of Heidi’s clients. They said he did so much cocaine you could smell it coming from his pores. I can just picture him, bloated and shiny on booze and coke, banging away at his piano.

These guys are talented degenerates and they are all filthy rich. But complete degenerates.

^ And I will add, before someone crucifies me, I know Don is not primarily a piano player but if I remember correctly from the book he was an all around musician, able to play multiple instruments.

R53 - You'll Never Make Love in This Town has accounts from girls who worked for Heidi Fleiss and her predecessor (whose name escapes me) about Henley and other famous or prominent men in L.A.

"The History of the Eagles" documentary among other things makes it very clear that Henley was a gold star asshole - however, unlike his other peers that continued to coast on their best days, Henley continued to put out good music. "The End of the Innocence" is an excellent album.

Here's the DL thread about You'll Never Make Love...

Proof? @R5

He was cute

R61 Madam Alex

My cousin is a big fan of him, and was giving scans to his wife to check her for cancer, and Don came in with her. My cousin is also a drummer, and said he wished he had his sticks with him for Don to sign. Well they came back a few months later, and he brought my cousin an autographed symbol. He may have been a jerk, but he seems to be cool to his fans.

IDGAF if he or the other Eagles were assholes. I still love their music and listen to it often.

Was that really a perm in those young pics? It looks natural (and he's hot!)

Of course no one who was an asshole 40+ years ago has changed . None of us are any different at 60 than we were at 20 . Give it a fucking rest.Those chicks went to that house KNOWING what was expected . Im sure it was made perfectly clear. And in 1978 no one thought a goddamn thing of adults fucking teens. It was very common.
