@[renterclint:25562] - You are exactly right. In Don's words: " 'The Sad Cafe' was inspired by the Troubadour and Dan Tana's restaurant. We could feel an era passing. The crowd that hung out in the Troubadour and the bands that were performing there were changing. The train tracks that had run down the middle of Santa Monica Boulevard had been ripped out. The train no longer came through - the same train that Steve Martin had once led an entire Troubadour audience to hop aboard and ride up to La Cienega Boulevard, then walk back t the club. Those remarkable freewheeling times were receding into the distance." Excerpted from the article 'Henley Looks Back' from 'Eagles: The Ultimate Guide' (A Rolling Stone Special Publication; pub. Mar 2016; pg 77) |
