Linda is discussed beginning about 15:40...nothing we don't already know


the new coffee table book celebrating the band’s lengthy career was written by Ben Fong-Torres, one of America’s most successful magazine writers, a man who got his start in the 1970s with Rolling Stone. I wanted to talk to him and if it meant the subject had to be The Eagles: Taking It to the Limit, then so be it.

True, it's nothing we don't already know. But it's always nice to hear the story again (IMHO).

Here's an excerpt from a document on Ben Fong-Torres' website re: Linda.

Away from the stage, I remember wanting to hug Linda Ronstadt one Valentine's night. She was riding high on Heart Like a Wheel. She was on tour, in Honolulu, and her boyfriend was in Los Angeles. After the concert, I escorted her to her hotel. While waiting for the elevator, she saw a couple holding hands. "Oh, I don't have anybody to kiss me," she said with a pout. And it just didn't seem fair.

I think every guy can sympathize with Ben. Linda in the 70s was enough to set my heart racing and truth be told, she still sets my heart racing and always will.
