Only other song I don't like is "Never Say Trust Me" from songbook. He should have kept that one unreleased....Also to drift off topic, I think "Hotel California" is the worst song the Eagles ever did. Anyone else agree?

No, no, no on both counts. I *love* "Never Say Trust Me" ['the sky above is filled with stars, the road is long, no cars are in sight; with one hand on the wheel I've been driving all day, I can drive all night...' - sets the mood right there]. As for "Hotel California" the album was on the charts for 107 weeks and the title track for 19 weeks, including a spot at #1 - all those listeners and buyers can't be THAT wrong. I even like the live, "When Hell Freezes Over" concert version. Each tohis or her own taste, I guess.
