EAGLES - DARK DESERT HIGHWAY - MICK WALL KARTON...

This could be heaven or this could be hell...' So sings Don Henley on their biggest hit  'Hotel
California'  yet for The Eagles their story was one where the dividing line between ultimate
Hollywood highs and subterranean LA lows was blurred beyond recognition  blinded by
white-powdered double-visions and buried beneath greenback mountains. The band that embodied
the American dream with globe-straddling success  impossibly luxurious lives  almost
supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting betrayal  hate-filled
hubris  the skeletons of perceived enemies  brutally discarded lovers and former band mates
left unburied in the road behind them. The story of The Eagles is a truly gothic American
fable: one of ultimate power and rivers of money  of sex and drugs at a time when both were the
lingua-franca of sophisticated So-Cal living  of a band who sang of peaceful easy feelings in
public while threatening to kill each other in private. Now  for the first time  esteemed music
biographer Mick Wall will provide the definitive insight into America's best-selling band of
all time  a band who have sold more records than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones combined 
exploring their meteoric rise to fame  and the hedonistic days of the 70s music scene in LA 
when American music was taking over the world.
