SITTING OUTSIDE THE CIRCLE AND THROWING ROCKS
That is a quote Don Henley made in an article in Rocky Mountain News when asked about people who criticize the Eagles for exclusively selling their new album at Wal-Mart. I have been looking for some way to contact the band to tell them what I think. And what the majority of customers think that have come to my store looking to buy it. We all think it sucks! Some of them have even said that they will wait until it is released elsewhere rather than step foot in one of those stores. I love those customers! He made the comment that the only people who are griping are those who don't like the Eagles. Well guess what Don, I did like the band. DID! He says they were approached by Wal-Mart and decided that it was the best way to "get the most cds out there to the most people..." I know this is all business, but you can choose who you're going to get in bed with on these things. Do you really want to willingly lie down with someone who is so deceptive, dishonest, and disgusting? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they should take a stand on every issue out there. But come on...Wal-Mart? Who wants to be attached to that company. Oh, but I forgot. According to Mr. Henley, "they're mounting a serious effort to do something about (their track record)." Sure Don, can you be more specific on that? Here's a challenge. Please, anyone, verify what he's saying is true. Tell me what Wal-Mart is doing. I'd love to know. In the mean time, so long Eagles. I'll be listening to you again, if you ever find your collective balls!
