There is a webcam in Decorah, IA focused on an eagle's nest. It's watching the birds to see an egg hatch. A little baby eagle. An eaglet. Awwwwww.
There is a rock band called The Eagles, too. Based out of Los Angeles, CA, the original members include Glenn Fry, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. The current lineup is Frey, Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit.
I read somewhere that the opening chord sequence to Hotel California is one of the most recognizable in rock music. Even if the rhythm is taken away, most people can still recognize the song. When asked the meaning of this iconic song, Don Henley said, "It's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American Dream, and about excess in America, which is something we know about."
According to Glenn Frey's liner notes, the reference to "steely knives" is a nod to Steely Dan, who mentioned The Eagles in the lyrics of their song, Everything You Did.
Other hits from the band are: "Witchy Woman," "Desperado," "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Tequila Sunrise," "One of These Nights," "Lyin' Eyes," and "New Kid in Town." Just listen to any classic rock station and you'll eventually hear something by The Eagles.
