People, PEOPLE!
Can't we all just get along?
Let's just call it "the Eagles" and put it to bed.
We can all agree to that.

See, I can't lump it all like that. There are plenty of fine Eagles moments. None of them were done by Glenn Frey.

No we can't because "New Kid In Town" is a particular kind of horror. The song is one of those cursed songs which if you think about the chorus for a few seconds it gets stuck in your head hours. Only a few hours if you're lucky.

Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town
Everybody loves him, don't they?
Now he's holding her, and you're still around
Oh, my, my
There's a new kid in town
Ooh, hoo
Everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town
Ooh, hoo
Everybody's walking' like the new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town

These have to go in somewhere:

Jah Wobble leaves PiL, killing one of the best bands ever
Will Shatter dies in 1987 of a heroin overdose
Rocket From The Tombs never records a studio album before they break up
David Bowie records and releases the Let's Dance album
Dave Allen leaves Gang of Four, killing one of the best bands ever
D. Boon dies in 1985 in a car accident
Bob Dylan converts to fundamentalist Christianity

and a killer that not many people know about -
