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
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
I stopped playing piano when I was 12.
It was too much.
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
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...
