Eagles and Chinese labor release new album

Gee Don Henley, wasn’t being a hack good enough? Now ya gotta be a whore too?

Eagles travel down ‘Long Road’ with Wal-Mart

The Eagles release their first new studio album in 28 years today. “Long Road out of Eden” is a dream come true for longtime fans of the ’70s country-rock superstars.

But there’s a catch. “Eden” is only available at Wal-Mart, where the two-disc, 20-song set is selling for the low, low price of $11.88.

Not so long ago Henley himself came down hard on Wal-Mart, the United States’ top music retailer.

“Independent music stores are closing at an unprecedented pace,” he wrote in a 2004 Washington Post op-ed piece. “Today the three largest music retailers are Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Target. In those stores shelf space is limited, making it harder for new artists to emerge.”

But now Henley has a peaceful, easy feeling about the superchain.

“You would have thought we made a deal with the devil,” he told Billboard. “Wal-Mart is getting their environmental and labor act together. They can’t be any more evil than a major record label, that’s the way I look at it.”

No, you’re looking at the ceiling, mentally counting the money while some Chinese kid pumps away atop you. You worthless hack. Maybe you should read this.

    Don Henley Must Die
    Mojo Nixon was right.

    This is the sound of my brain
    Then I said -This is the sound of my brain on Don Henley
    Then I said -One two three four

    He’s a tortured artist
    Used to be in the eagles
    Now he whines like a wounded beagle

    Poet of despair
    Puffed up with hot air
    He’s serious, pretentious and I just don’t care

    Don henley must die
    Don’t let him get back together
    With Glenn Frey, Don Henley must die

    Cut on the TV
    And what did I see
    This bloated hairy thing winnin’ a grammy
    Huah

    Best rock vocalist
    Compared to what
    Bunch of pseudo-serious Kraft angst-a-matic
    Satanic plot

    Don Henley Must die
    Put a sharp stick in his eye, don henley must die
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Oh

    Quit playin’ that crap
    Youíre out of the band

    I’m only kidding, can’t you tell?
    I love his sensitve music
    Idiot poetry swell

    You and your kind
    Are killin’ rock and roll
    It’s not because youíre o-l-d
    –Cause you ain’t
    Got no soul

    Don’t be afraid of fun
    Loosen up your ponytail
    Be wild, young
    Free and-a
    Get your head
    Outta your tail

    Don Henley
    Must die
    Donít let him get back together
    With Glenn Frey

    Don Henley
    Must die
    Put him in the electric chair
    Watch him fry, Don Henley must die

    Don Henley must die
    Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

    No Eagles reunion
    The same goes for you too Sting
    Ah
    Oh
