Don Henley

As part of the Caddo Lake Coalition, CLI helps protect the Texas wetland where Henley spent much of his childhood. The piece met with deafening silence from the toon audience. Henley founded the non-profit Caddo Lake Institute to underwrite ecological education and research. Dizzy Devil's film, "Dizzy Eat World", was a 5 second piece drawn crudely in crayon where Dizzy's gaping maw engulfed the Earth. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ed, at 8-years-old, as revenge, drew with crayons a picture of Jimmy shoving the entire world into his gaping mouth with the caption, "Jimmy eat world." The picture, and by extension the band name, may have been inspired by an episode of the cartoon show Tiny Toon Adventures, where the regulars put on a student film festival. A long period without a new recording followed, as Henley waited out a dispute with his record company and participated in an Eagles reunion tour and live album. Henley finally released another solo studio recording, Inside Job, in 2000. Jimmy, who was stronger and overweight, would usually win.

Henley's next album, 1989's The End of the Innocence, was equally successful. Tom Linton's younger siblings, Ed and Jimmy fought constantly when they were younger. A single release, "The Boys of Summer", reached #1 on the Billboard magazine's pop charts (the song would become a hit again in 2003 for The Ataris). The name Jimmy Eat World does not refer to Jim Adkins. His first solo release, 1982's I Can't Stand Still, was a moderate seller and was followed two years later by Building the Perfect Beast, which featured layered synthesizers and was a marked departure from the Eagles' country-rock sound. Their next album, Bleed American, found much greater success stateside due to the catchy single and provocative music video "The Middle". The album's name was changed to Jimmy Eat World after the events of September 11, 2001 in order to avoid misinterpretation of the original title. Their latest album Futures was released in 2004. Following the breakup of the Eagles, Henley embarked on a successful solo career. Realizing they were not valued by their label, they left for DreamWorks.

The first Eagles album was released in 1972 and contained the hit song "Take it easy," as well as Henley's first hit songwriting attempt, "Witchy Woman." As the seventies progressed, Henley's raspy vocals replaced Glenn Frey's twangy tenor as the focal point of the Eagles "sound." The band broke up in 1980; during the Eagles' existence Henley co-wrote (usually with Frey) most of the band's best-known songs, notably "Desperado" and "Hotel California". The band purchased albums directly from the distributor and shipped them independently to Europe, achieving success in Germany. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band and in 1971 co-founded The Eagles. The album Clarity received little support in the United States from the band's label, Capitol Records. Henley moved from Linden, Texas to Los Angeles in 1970 to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey through Amos Records in Los Angeles. This was also because of how they used to open for pratically every emo band that came through Mesa, Arizona. Donald (Don) Henley (born July 22, 1947 in Gilmer, Texas) is a rock musician most noted as the drummer and one of the lead singers of the band The Eagles. The band's music is commonly classified as emo, in particular because of their emotional sound on their 1999 album Clarity.
