Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (All hell about to break loose)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Well known that song was mostly written by Jackson Browne who lived downstairs from Frey and Henley while they were all starving songwriters. Frey said he did not know what a "flat bed Ford" was until Jackson wrote the lyric.
1. Browne lived downstairs from Frey and J.D. Souther.
2. Frey finished the second verse with "it's a girl my lord in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me," not Browne.
3. Frey was from Motown and his dad worked in the motor industry. My guess is he knew what a flatbed ford was.

Yeah, you are probably a better source than Frey who said many times that Browne was responsible for most of the lyrics and that he, Frey, did not know what a flat bed Ford was. Watch the documentary about The Eagles and learn.
Really? I've seen that documentary about 10 times.
But here you go.

To save you time, here's a quote in there from Frey.
“What a cool tune that is. He started playing it for me and said, ‘Yeah, but I don’t know — I’m stuck.’ So he played the second unfinished verse and I said, ‘It’s a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin’ down to take a look at me.’ That was my contribution to ‘Take It Easy,’ really, just finishing the second verse. Jackson was so thrilled."
Given you were wrong about the living arrangement AND the Take It Easy story perhaps you should actually watch the documentatry.
Yeah, if I was 18 and ESPN wanted to put me on national TV for 5 minutes I would definitely be telling them no because people on message boards disapprove.
Bwahahahahahaha
Thanks 67...By midnight I will have it and have listened to it. I have been meaning to but never got around to it, as I am not a huge country fan. But Don can do any music well. He can sing any style and it will be great with that voice. You are right, he's back in his roots...but he broke toward rock when he was pretty young, now he's breaking back it seems.
I can see why you adore the Panhandle.
Any parents here who would tell their child "no son, you cant go on national TV, for what may be the only time in your life, because that would be sinful. Instead, you should mail in your decision to your coach, or go down Druckers store and call your coach on the telephone."?
Lets see, how many of you here thinks kids should turn down that opportunity?
Oh they all were quoting the really optimistic parts and saying "can you believe how he lies to his subscribers!?" They just can't comprehend what's about to happen.
Seriously...it would have to be a combo of Gone With the Wind and The Godfather to live up now.
Panhandle? What does my referencing the great people in the panhandle have to sowing this?
If they are announcing on TV HS their most likely going to be on it in college.
I hope I've raised my kids well enough to not need attention like this. They would pick up the phone and call the coach and say yes I commit.
Fell free to allow yours all the tv time you want.
He's not as smart or dedicated as Cam. Also, he doesn't have the natural pocket skills as a passer.
Paging @cujo0622...or Geoff...whoever you are. If Charlie ends up anywhere close to the Top 10, I will beat you senseless with ridicule. You had a good laugh about the suggestion a few weeks ago. How do you feel now professor?
Because a month ago noone predicted what was happening in aggyville. I will gladly take my bowl of crow
I don't remember what all was said about that projection a month ago, and I'm not here to pile on, but has happened in collieville hardly started 5-6 weeks ago. There's been real signs of it coming for a long time. I said as much at least 12 months ago, that Sumlin was losing steam and '15 was going to be a crucial year for him. Obviously they fell flat and trended down for the third straight season and now we are seeing the effects.
Obviously yes, but the recruiting trend was not predictable. Specially when you consider a month ago djack was all fsu, elliot was all UM, the shark was prob going to a&m or UM, b jones was all aggy.
Again no one saw this coming.
Again no one saw this coming.
Ill call bs. No one saw it coming. As much as you want to beat your chest, you didnt see it coming.
You call BS on everything if it isn't coming out of your mouth. But yes, outside of saying Charlie would finish near or IN the Top 10, you're right I didn't see it coming.
I've tried my best in the last few months to explain the math involved of a top 10-15 ranking.
Things would have to break very badly for the Longhorns not to make it in the 15-20 range. Getting above that will require a run.
