True story... freshman in college... dorm life. Our small college town had an independently owned record shop that received new albums the first day they were available to the public. Our end of the dormitory floor was primed for this one due to the pre-sale hype.
His name was Fritz but he was born in the States. His parents weren't. He had the money that week and went uptown to pick up the new Eagles' album, so we could play it on his roommate's killer stereo. While he was out we all did exactly what you'd expect. We got really high. When the tonearm dropped and the stylus hit the vinyl, everyone was launched into the stratosphere. Nothing else mattered 'cept that album.
Perfect title for a perfect memory. We had a wasted time, and it was glorious.
Wow, I’d never heard this song, thanks for sharing! I love a lot of Eagles songs but I’ve always been more of a greatest hits guy with them and never bought an individual album.
Notes oddly doesn’t let me edit so let me just say this is my favourite Eagles song.

This is the album to get. The whole thing is a masterpiece.
