Anyone who’s surprised by the inclusion of this song needs to see me. In the decade I’ve been here I think I’ve made it slightly obvious that I like this guy’s singing. And, while this is not my favorite song by...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 30 Apr 24

Oh come on! Who didn’t see this topping the list??? I mean, I might be the biggest musical weirdo you know, but I am predictable on occasions. And this, of course, is one of those occasions. Happy 40th birthday to...

More Musical Hometowns

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 20 Feb 24

When someone is as big an Eagles fan as I was back in the 70s, it should come as no surprise that I’d find myself meandering through the eastern Texas hill country for another trip to a musical hometown. This time, we’re talking...

1982 Songs: Dirty Laundry

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 4 Jul 22

There are a couple of people who have songs on both the 1982 and 1972 lists, which shows their staying power. This guy is on both lists, in a way. That means he’s old, too. You’ll see his old band on the 1972 list....

Rock Love, Day 16: Love Rules

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 16 Jan 20

Along with those big hit country songs that nobody remembers I’m doing 45 rock songs with “love” in the title. I have a loyal reader who’s never heard of most of the country acts, which is understandable (you had to grow up in...

Don Henley's On My Mind

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3452) • United States 25 Sep 19

I am not usually one to focus a lot on celebrities, but I've had Don Henley on my mind a lot lately. The man is 72 years old, I think I first heard his music (at all) when I was around 12, and I'm soon to be 33. I remember seeing...

Don Henley-For My Wedding (With My Notes)

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3452) • United States 11 Sep 19

Years ago, I heard the song "For My Wedding" by Don Henley. It's one of the best songs lyrically that I have ever heard. One of my absolute favorite lines is, [b]"All my dark angels, we must part, for I have made a sanctuary of...

Hello from a fast food joint with wi-fi in the middle of no-freaking-where, Tennessee! Oh, what my eyes have seen this morning! Incredible beauty. However, I realize I need to finish off my countdown of favorite songs...

Oh, has John been waiting for this one. If anyone who has read anything musical from me is shocked by this, it's only that it's not the top spot. How could I not include this, with my favorite male vocalist,...

Ten Favorite Don Henley Guest Vocals: One More Song (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 2 Aug 19

Yesterday I took the day off from posting in memory of Gil (GoAskAlex). I certainly didn’t plan it, but today’s song that features Don Henley as a guest vocalist seems appropriate as we mourn our loss here at myLot. Here’s...

Ten Favorite Don Henley Guest Vocals: Help Me Through the Night (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 1 Aug 19

Everything went well with the colonoscopy today! Nothing surprising, no polyps or tumors; and, I already knew about the diverticulosis. So next time I have one I'll be singing "When I'm 64." But now, I'm singing a different...
