End of an era, and start of another
The Eagles have been my favorite band since the mid-1970s, kicking the Beatles out of first place in my heart. Towards the end of that decade, my marriage went belly up, and Eagles tunes helped to keep me sane during the transition, among others. When I was finally ready to move on, I was introduced to the lead singer in an Eagles cover band, and we hit it off right away. He loved singing Eagles tunes, and I loved listening to them. On the night that we were to become intimate, he sang Peaceful, Easy Feeling to me. It was the perfect song for the moment. It was what we both were feeling at the time, and it let me know that, no matter how things would turn out between us, I would be OK, because I’d already been through the fire, and had both feet firmly planted on the ground. Thank you, Jack, for giving voice to so many moments and feelings in my life. Reading all these posts, it’s pretty amazing how your words are able to conjure up such diverse meanings in the lives of so many. I’m very glad you chose the path that you did. -Phyllis G.
