As esteemed rock journo Mick Wall writes in his introduction, Don Henley hates books about his band, Eagles (there is technically no definite article in the group’s name—so you’ve been saying it wrong all these years. See also: Talking Heads). He didn’t like Marc Eliot’s 2004 bio To the Limit:...
, even though he agreed to sit down for interviews with the author. But only if he would not include some info about a party at Henley’s house, a 16-year-old girl, and a drug overdose.
