Pieter from Eersel, NetherlandsDear people, if you listen and look very carefully, this is just about greed.Eddie from Long Beach, NyA fantastic song, and in my opinion, one of Joe Walsh's best guitar solos.The excesses of America will do us in we don’t need ISIS to do it for us. from Columbus, OhioI concur with what Debi LeFors and Jeff from Cleveland wrote.

I think with the words 'cultural junk' I got my point across. ![]() ![]() So I changed it back to American highway just to make it broader in scope. In the end I decided that it wouldn't make a lot of sense with the rest of the song just to suddenly go over and start talking about computers and the Internet. But, just like television, the Internet has a lot of useless crap going on. There are wonderful things on there, too - it's such a resource of knowledge and information.

In 2007, Glenn Frey and the Eagles released their tenth studio album, Long Road Out of Eden, and embarked on a three-year tour. During the tour, Frey often told their sold-out audiences, “For the record, we never broke up. The album received incredible response, and the band soon embarked on their When Hell Freezes Over reunion tour. So when Frey and other band members reunited in 1994 to record a new album, they aptly titled it, Hell Freezes Over. Glenn Frey and Don Henley were frequently asked when the Eagles would get back together, and as a joke they both would reply with the comment, “When hell freezes over.” Although the response was meant as an amusing pun, it often fueled unsubstantiated rumors that the artists were angry and bitter with each other.

The Eagles were quickly on their way to rock star status, and by the mid-70s they had become one of the most popular bands in the world. Eagles reached platinum level sales, a feat which is rarely accomplished on debut albums. The band cut their debut self-titled album in 1972 and logged their first billboard hit, “Take It Easy,” which was co-written by Frey and Jackson Browne.
