Comment on In The Eagles song "Take It Easy" the first verse states he has 7 women on his mind, later he is admiring a girl in Winslow, Arizona...maybe another girl isn't what this guy needs.

  Always took it to mean he has a wife and is looking for lovers who won’t ruin his marriage. Maybe I just know too many people who’ve been womanizers that this scenario is my assumption

    Really annoys me how half the rock songs I like are proudly announcing what an absolute scumbag the author is

      Not all songs are based in reality, they’re just stories that sound good. Plus most are a time capsule of the times they were made in, being a womanizer wasn’t as frowned upon back then and was pretty much expected of musicians

        I know that, but I still think it says something about the writer of the song

      Essentially every eagles song is from the perspective of an alcoholic who can’t get relationships right.

  I always thought it would mean it’s a woman that is willing to sneak around in hats and sunglasses and hide from the paparazzi, instead of being an attention whore
