Video: The Eagles "How Long"

5:23 p.m. · August 23, 2007 · by Joel Cusumano

For someone who hates the f****** Eagles such as I do, this video is of more of a chance to see how surprisingly well (Glenn Frey) or creepily bad (aah! Joe Walsh!) the members of this insufferable band have aged. Musically, I doubt any of our readers will find anything to like here, though it is interesting to note that "How Long" is a return to the pre-Walsh country(ish) sound of songs such as "Take It Easy" and "Tequila Sunrise." There is ostensibly no reason for the Eagles (who, for anyone still counting, have sold approximately a kazillion copies just of albums released prior to 1980) other than to remind fans that they are in fact still alive; and boy are they sure smug about that here. I get very scared when Don Henley starts singing.
