I am a procrastinator, especially when it comes to my deep and darkest fears. I’m saving the hard to face pages for the depth of the website. I feel that if you venture into this maze as far as you’ve come; maybe it is okay if I share my unfathomable heartache and vulnerability. It’s a very hard thing to do, you know. Try it sometime. Try to get totally honest with yourself and your past to better understand where you are today and where you are going from here. Then tell the world. Yeah. Do that! (Insane laughter here)
My relationship with The Eagles started with Jimmy. I had heard of them before. I wasn’t born yesterday. I just wasn’t a die-hard fan. Jimmy had a very emotional connection with The Eagles. When I heard the songs that weren’t prevalent on the radio –at least not prevalent in my time growing up- I too feel in love with The Eagles. I believe my emotional attachment to them was through Jimmy’s soul. It’s very hard for me to explain. I’m not sure exactly what impact The Eagles played in Jimmy’s life, but I know that it was a very deep one rooted in his younger years. It was a very emotionally trying time for him. I never asked him because I knew enough not to ask. Maybe I should have. It’s sort of like the emotional connection I have with Gordon Lightfoot which is because of my mother. I adore Gordon Lightfoot, but I probably wouldn’t to this extent if it hadn’t been for her. His songs have such tiebacks to my very young years. I have no doubt that is the same connection that Jimmy had with The Eagles. This connection is many times an extremely painful one, yet you can’t help but listen because you are so desperately clinging to a small wonderful glimpse of the past, as painful as it might be.
Here’s to The Eagles for stirring up so many emotions in people and daring them to bring them to the surface.
