Don Felder? He got fired last year by the band. He's not an original member anyway, joining them for the On The Border sessions. And Walsh & Schmidt were only on the last 2 albums before the reunion. I don't read too much into it anyway, their a "band" in the sense they band together to collect huge sums of money on a tour of old songs. And if it's anything like the "Hell Freezes Over" stuff, they'll have 3-5 extra guys doing a lot of the playing. I loved the Eagles when they came out & still enjoy their music, had the Desperado cd in the other day. And I do believe that whatever the market can bear, whether it be pro sports salaries or has-been rock stars getting $100+ a ticket, is fine with me. I choose not to support it with my money.
