Take it easy. Glenn Frey leaves

Oh, the 70s. Cough syrup, grass, Jingle music mag, Charlie’s Angels, martial law, clogs, bell bottoms ug uban pa. Ang Led Zep niadto maoy bug-at. Ang Juan dela Cruz maoy ato. Ang Pink Floyd maoy far-out ug ang Eagles maoy cool. Ang mga miyembro sa Eagles unang gitapok sa manager ni Linda Ronstadt para himuon unta nga back-up band sa country-rock singer. Apan paghuman nilag record sa iyang plaka ug tukar og usa ka live gig mihangyo sila nga mobuwag ug maghimo na lang ug ilang banda.

Si Glenn Frey ang ilang gitarista/bokalista nga bag-o lang mipanaw maoy katimbang sa drummer nga si Don Henley sa paghimo sa mga kanta ning maong banda. Ang Hotel California maoy pinakasikat nila nga kanta. Apan alang kanako kining ilang unang hit song (nga gisuwat ni Frey ug Jackson Browne) nga “Take It Easy” maoy epitome sa 70s California cool.

Ania ang lyrics sa “Take It Easy.”

Well I’m a runnin’ down the road try’n to loosen my load/I’ve got seven women on my mind/Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me/One says she’s a friend of mine/Take it easy, take it easy/Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy/Lighten up while you still can/Don’t even try to understand/Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy

Well, I’m a standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona/Such a fine sight to see/It’s a girl my Lord in a flat-bed Ford

Slowin’ down to take a look at me/Come on, baby, don’t say maybe/I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me/We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again/So open up I’m climbin’ in, so take it easy

Well, I’m a runnin’ down the road tryin’ to loosen my load/Got a world of trouble on my mind/Lookin’ for a lover who won’t blow my cover, she’s so hard to find/Take it easy, take it easy/Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy/Come on baby, don’t say maybe/I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.
