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.

  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.
