The Dudeism Forum

I just don't get it

Damn.

Well, I used to kinda like their music when I was a kid.

OK, I like some big corporate rock bands, but these guys took the cake.  They set the standard for $200-400 tickets for reunion tours of watching a bunch of burnouts play their old stuff.  I can't do it.  I think they're a bit arrogant.

Just my opinion, man...

It's OK to hate me on this one.

They kind of remind me of the Backstreet boys of their era, dude.

OK, I can understand a little better now.  Never having seen them live, or tried to buy tickets I just didn't have a point of reference.  I was like alittle child who wanders in in the middle of a movie...  and Andrea, I couldn't hate you if I tried    :-)

 Look, nobody calls me Andrea.  You got the wrong girl.  I'm the Dudette, man.

I actually kind of like the Eagles...parts anyway (the stuff from the early to mid-'70s). Those songs were always on the a.m. radio when I was a kid. Nostalgia, I guess. Their late '70s stuff (New Kid in Town, Heartbreak Tonight, etc...or whatever it's called) gets the same reaction from me that the Dude had.

I think I saw a show or a documentary once that said the Eagles were looked down on by more serious rock/country afficianados because they were, as some have pointed out here, corporate fabrications (i.e., not authentic). 

If my memory's correct (and I can't confirm or disconfirm that), then that might explain why the Dude hates them so much. Sort of ultra watered down CCR?

I always saw the Eagles as I would see the fucking Archies.........

Hey, man, Reggie could jam...

The Archies?  Ouch, man!  Hahahahaha!!!

Interestingly, according to VH1's Behind the Music, after the band broke up, Betty ended up working with Jackie Treehorn Productions:

By then, apparently Jackie still couldn't afford to invest in story, production value, feeling.
