Free Music Notes for End of Innocence Album
Free Music Review: Don Henley is a tiresome kvetch!
Hit: 1 Stars
If you want to encounter a textbook example of the "Hollywood Left" in all its absurd contradictions and vanity, go no further than this album. On the one hand Henley rails against corporate greed, Reagan, and America's sins, while on the other, he strikes a careful fashion pose on the record jacket, cigarette in hand! The entire record preens and struts this multi-millionaire's moral superiority without a shred of irony concerning exactly who it is who's lecturing us. Undeniably, Henley has his share of talent, particularly as a singer. He chooses good collaborators to give his more popular songs a distinct sound, i.e. the Bruce Hornsby piano chord pattern echoing thru End of the Innocence. But it is ultimately shallow and uninspired. Henley wants to be Bob Dylan, but in the end he's closer to Barry "Eve of Destruction" McGuire.
