F*** you. I've been paying you

for seven years, you fuckhead.

So much stuff just happened.

You know, there's a philosopher who

says, "As you live your life...

".. it appears to be...

"anarchy and chaos and random events,

"non-related events

smashing into each other

"and causing this situation. "

And then... then this happens,

and it's overwhelming,

and it just looks like, "What

in the world is going on?"

And later, when you look back at it...

.. it looks like a finely-crafted novel.

But at the time, it don't!

And a lot of the Eagles'

story is like that.

I'm gonna f***in' kill you. I can't wait.

I can't wait.

We might as well start at the beginning.

I grew up in Detroit, Michigan.

My dad worked in a factory.

My mother baked pies at General Motors.

I started taking piano lessons

when I was five years old.

That alone could get you beat up

after school in suburban Detroit.

And then she said...

Just because you've

become a young man now

There's still some things

that you don't understand...

Detroit was Motown, and so they

played all the Motown hits.

Keep your freedom for

as long as you can now

My momma told me, you'd

better shop around...

And that was the kind of stuff

that we would listen to.

I stopped playing piano when I was 12.

It was too much.

I wanted to do other things,

and I think the girl thing was

starting to happen, as well.

THEY SCREAM:

Then the Beatles came along,

and my aunt took me down to see

the Beatles at the Olympia.

THEY SCREAM:

It was crazy.

I remember having a girl that was

standing on her seat in front of me

fall backwards into my arms,

delirious, going, "Paul, Paul!"

You know, and I thought, "Oh, my God!"

I have a very vivid memory

of seeing the Beatles

with my parents on our old Admiral TV set.

It was like a bolt of lightning.

It had a huge impact on me.

It was revolutionary.

And it was an impact that

would last a lifetime,

and I know that had a huge

impact on Glenn, too,

even though we didn't know

each other at the time.

Linden, Texas, is my hometown. It's a

small town in North-eastern Texas.

When I was growing up, the

population was about 2,500, 2,600.

I can settle down...

It's primarily an agricultural area.

Some people worked at the steel mill.

It's just a typical small Texas town.

There's an old courthouse dating

back to before the Civil War

and one stoplight.

It's kind of like The Last

Picture Show, you know?

It was a great place musically,

because it was kind of

a cultural crossroads.

It's really located where the old

South begins to meet the West.

Linden, Texas, was the birthplace

of Scott Joplin and T-Bone Walker.

Yes, time is hard, baby...
