This really captures a deeper reality. Many like to think they rose to the top by their own gravitas. A person's gravitas is certainly a powerful factor. But there are very few that have the hutzpah to rise up completely solely by themselves without other's help. Some of my best memories a kid were listening to Eddie Rabbit. Dad couldn't really get enough of Eddie Rabbit. Driving My Life Away from 1980 was one of his favorites. We'd both listen to it on those old 8-Tracks -- kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqlslLiGlpvLnqw.html

I saw this interview with Billy and Don when it first came out and was immediately captivated from the first second to the last. So glad to have just bumped into it again and been able to soak up every single word from these two titans of music. As a drummer myself as well as singer and keyboard player,Don Henley has been my idol from the moment I heard him for the first time with the Eagles and all throughout his solo career. I don’t usually put people on a pedestal and I have many artists who I admire and love such as Billy. But, Don Henley has such an incredible voice and god given talent as a lyricist, drummer, scholar etc that I have always had the highest respect and admiration for him and the contributions he has given to the music world. He is truly amongst the select few artists who will be remembered as the greatest singers of all time. Marvin Gaye ,Robert Plant ,Don Henley and a few others. Thanks for the soundtrack of my life 🙏🫶❤

Two unaffected, approachable, people-loving artists. A breath of fresh air.

It’s amazing how smart and sharp Don is to this day , he’s one of my fav esp when the Eagles had Glen Frye, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Don Felder and Randy Meisner, to me that’s the greatest band ever.

Kudos to both Don and Billy. This is one of the best interviews I've ever heard.

Henley's memory and recall is unbelievable.

This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Both of these guys are my heroes. To me they both do Americana music, which is dear to me.

I was drawn to this interview because the Eagles have always been my all-time favorite band. At 15, I fell in love with both my first husband and the Eagle’s! I’m 62 now and although my first marriage didn’t last, my love for the Eagle’s music has never left my heart! I knew Don Henley was an intelligent man but I had no idea just how intelligent. His memory of events from his childhood and name’s of people who effected his career blew me away! At 62 I can remember event’s that happened throughout my life but my short term memory is fading. Don appears to have total recall and I was very impressed with his knowledge of the past. For a man that has achieved great accomplishments and stardom, I found him to be very humble and genuine.

Henley is right on about the non-categorization of music in the old days. The old AM radio would play Perry Como, The Supremes, Johnny Cash, The Stones, all in the same half hour

It tells a story all the way through from the first track to the end. Kind of like a rock opera with a old western story line. My favorite track is the last. The Doolin Dalton/ Desparado reprise.

Love his reference to ‘The Mothership’. Shows that he is a really genuine guy. Great job Billy!

Don Henley was standing next to me when I said to him; "Mr. Henley, I've chosen your campaign to save Walden as the topic of my term paper this semester." Well, THAT got his interest! He showed a great level of sincerity in wanting to help me find sources for my research on the paper. Even as he was being pulled away by his entourage her turned to find me just to say; "Good luck on your paper." I thought that he was very generous with his time towards wanting to help and talk to me. (Just FYI this was at a live radio broadcast at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC about 1990.)

Dixie Land Jazz? No wonder he has so much depth. Playing sophisticated music, with adults. It's no wonder the Eagles were never tripped out, psychedelic, but singer-songwriter. I saw the History of the Eagles tour with Glen, and was blown away! Glen's and Don's voice were literally perfect. Most people start to sound old and worn out by 65. The Eagles was the best concert I ever saw, aside from Merle Haggard with the Strangers (basically a country big band). Merle spared no expense, even though it was a county fair! Like Merle, Don is about integrity. Regardless of what Robin Crosby has said about the Eagles.

I could listen to these 2 talk for weeks!

I always knew Don Henley was a genius, and this proves it.

One evening I was hanging with Bob Seger and we ended up back at his house with some friends. Bob put on some music and it was Henley. I was standing next to Bob and with no prompting for me said: "Henley is one of the best song writers ever."

Don Henley’s Sunset Grill is a masterpiece.

The Eagles have always been a much loved band in our household. My mom's favorite song was Take it to the Limit. She passed just before covid hit but this song will always remind me of her. My favorite Henley song is Heart of the Matter. Ironically a song my ex-husband and I always had playing in the car before we ended up divorced. I am very familiar with all the Eagles, past and present and all the talent that has encompassed this legendary band BUT I never really listened to any interviews or know too much about them aside from their tremendous musical gifts. I heard stories about Henley and always assumed he wasn't very nice. He always looks so stern and serious, a bit angry even... Well I am soooo glad I listened to this interview and now have a whole other perception! Henley is very introspective and deep. He also shows wonderful thought and consideration for others. He is not only a great song writer and talent, his voice is beautiful. Great interview!!

Great to hear these two legends talking about their life experiences

This is amazing. Two legends. Riveting interview!! And I completely agree with Henley. Country music today is NOT country music. And radio, back when it had no format was AWESOME.

Saw with both of these guys, Billy in 1979 and the Eagles in 2014, Greatest concerts ever.

Don, and Billy, I'm sure you've heard some version of this before. I'm 59 years old. Your music helped me define my life, when I was a teenager and after. When music is so profound, that the listener, with little imagination, can see themselves in the situation you sing about, and it brings comfort, and understanding, at a youthful time in our lives, when nothing else does, then that's much more than important. I want to say, God Blessed both of you guys, but God blessed the public that enjoys and relates to your music, even more. Thank You, so much.

The Eagles Music is most infectious. If I turn off my truck CD with them playing I cannot get that tune outta my head all day.

I have new respect for Don after hearing his story. I grew up listening to Glen Campbell and Buck Owens. And being a drummer that finally learned how song and play I FEEL HIM when he explained how hard that is. Cheers Don!!

Brian, agreed! In my opinion, he was the ACTUAL reason that the Cold War ended..

Two Titans of American music. Growing up in my house, the two main bands that were always played were CCR and The Eagles; and then, in my early teens, you know,when you start to spread your wings and discover new music that you can call your own? That's when I zeroed in on Billy Joel and his music. To see these two in this setting is like my whole universe coming together to make everything make sense.

We grow up together, depending on one another. The Eagles got me through a lot of lonely nights and incredible moments. I grew up singing in the church, my father was a minister so I was constantly around music. Still appreciate their hard work and sacrifice. ALWAYS.

Always loved Henley. An articulate and thoughtful person. Thanks 92Y for sharing this for free to all.

Love Don Henley, too. Not only for the incredible music he has created BUT for his environmental concerns with the Walden Woods Project. Our family shares his concern in the future ahead.....and we grew up similarly to him, small town in Pa..... with so many changes in the past few decades. We pray everyday for our children & their future . Thank you, Don Henley, Carry on.... Eric & Gwen Hull

Henley is a pompous ass. Billy Joel? A natural

I adore Don Henely I have followed him and his music my whole life. He is and will always be my all time favorite!!! Billy Joel is also a very talented artist and I love his music also!!

Don Henley has a competent grasp of the English language. Always worth listening to, in speech, & in music.

So true,

Great to see Don accomplishing so much.

Piano Man and The Man With The Golden Throat. True musicians and true song painters. Great insight up close and personal. Thank you.

Don Henley you need to write a book To record your memory of your parents and grandparents in Tyler Texas . It’s like Faulkner . Billy Joel is great as.a Northeasten artist and if the culture of Phil Spector and Irving Berlin and s great songwriter . Joel is a perfect interviewer / fan to ask a great artist as Henley about music . It’s great . Like all poets you respect the past !! 👍❤️🇺🇸

Man, for some reason I feel like wanting this man never dies. I have so much respect and admiration for him that a think a music without him loses its purpose

Well said.

Amen, Don! You nailed it! You don't recognize modern Country Music as Country! Travis Tritt sang it aptly, Country Ain't Country No More!

I love watching conversations like this. Two of the all-time greatest going back and forth. They both speak of their early days. Love it.

I'm a big fan of Don Henley and the Eagles. It's funny to me that Billy Joel almost seemed intimidated to interview Don, yet Billy himself is a huge star with lots of hits of his own.

I think bill was just nervous because he’s not a polished interviewer

In my favorite episode of ITAS, James Lipton interviews a very engaged, very animated Billy Joel. When he introduced a song-writing concept he didn't _explain_ it, he jumped out of his chair, hustled to the piano, and demonstrated with an example from one of his own hits. It was a revelation. I'd loved music since I could breathe but I didn't have a clue where it came from. And here Billy was showing us his secret process. Thank you for that, Billy Joel. I'll always love you. Don, I have my own rich radio history with you and the Eagles, principally you...the Silver Bullet Band and others. I evaluated you differently as i heard more and more...so much more in those depths than I'd ever suspected. That process is ongoing. Thank you for that, Don. I'll always love you.

Wow Billy has an amazing voice even for everyday talk as well as interviewing

Don is quite humble, but look how he holds his hands. He is pure power!

2 of musics greats! WHO are the 209 people that gave them a thumbs down, and why?

Music is something that unites us all !! We all like different music and some of us like lots of different music ! These two guys have done all kinds of music you can see the the respect they have for each other ,great interview .

Bill does so well in these interview story telling sessions, I'd love it for him to host a weekly show where he'd interview song writers from the past 50 years or so. He does great on his college lecture tours, so I really think interviewing the greats would be right up his alley!! Looks like he won't be ever putting out any new material for an album, the sold out arenas will be get boring for him I imagine...so in his retirement years interview the greats would be just so informative, oh well....I can dream!

he had a great channel on sirius, for far to short a time, where he did a lot of that and told a lot of stories about where his songs come from, and what they're really about, it was wonderful, I really hate that it's gone

I agree with you. Billy makes a great host, & did an amazing job interviewing Don. Billy Joel has always been known to be hilarious too, which makes it even more entertaining. I loved it when he'd mock the different styles & voices of others. It's very creative, entertaining, & hilarious, too.

"Oops, I'm eating my own microphone " Almost morphed into Robin Williams. Don is an always will be the number 1 Eagle to me. A magnificent and natural interview here.

Billy Joel is one of those dudes that’d be good at anything he tries. He has a good brain on him.

They are unbelievably, unbelievably talented guys. Let's just enjoy their music-it's awsome

My generation was so blessed with the incredible music of artists like Billy Joel, Elton John, Simon and Garfunkel, etc....

Two wonderfully talented Song Writer, Musicians. I enjoyed it very much. It's nice when the Ego takes a back seat to the conversation.
