Sunday Music: Sunset Grill

 

Don Henley's second solo album in 1984, after the Eagles went into extended hiatus, which turned into a Top 40 single in '85. It's almost 40 years old, and the melancholy rock beat is perfect for song about the slow decline of La-La Land that could just as easily have been written yesterday, and still ring as true.

Wow, hadn't heard that one since before cell phones. Nice choice.

Another great choice.

I have had a few "sunset grills" in my past. Best summed up by the line "what would we do without all these jerks anyway?"

Melancholy, good descriptor. On the way to Blade Runner dystopian.

Good noise, as my brother describes enjoyable music.
Drum and sing? Superpower level of achievement.
