Don Henley Strikes Back
by Chuck DeVoreThe laughless legions of the left have struck again. Eagles band member Don Henley demanded the removal of my “Hope of November” parody song on YouTube. YouTube took the music video Obama parody down yesterday after it was approaching 1,000 views.
I was inspired to write the lyrics for “Hope of November” using Henley’s “The Boys of Summer” as a starting point after I saw a fading Obama bumper sticker while campaigning in the Bakersfield area.
Liberal warriors are notorious for their thin skins and Don Henley is no exception.
Perhaps I should mine some of Henley’s other songs for satirical gold. “The End of the Innocence” comes to mind. That 1989 song slammed Ronald Reagan, a man I worked for in the Defense Department, in the form of the line, “they’re beating plowshares into swords, for the tired old man that we elected king.” At this line in the song the music video shows several Reagan posters while at the line “armchair warriors lead us into war” a television displays scenes of LtCol Oliver North’s congressional testimony. Or perhaps the overbearing lyrics of “Little Tin God” will do. The line referring to Reagan, “The cowboy’s name was Jingo,” cries out for parodic reengineering.
YouTube rather blandly announced that my First Amendment right to parody was being infringed “…as a result of a third-party notification by Don Henley…” But I wonder if the behind the scenes muzzler was David Geffen. Geffen, who’s so far to the left that Hillary Clinton was too conservative for him, owns the label for the “The Boys of Summer.” Geffen has lawyers, lots of lawyers.
Perhaps Geffen’s lawyers are familiar with Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. a 1994 U.S. Supreme Court case that dealt with “fair use” in parody. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that 2 Live Crew’s parody remake of the late Roy Orbison’s “Pretty Woman” constituted fair use in spite of the fact that the rap group had taken much of Orbison’s material whole cloth and used it for commercial purposes. My own parody using “The Boys of Summer” to lampoon President Obama uses original lyrics and clearly meets the Court’s four factor fair use test: “1) purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is commercially motivated or instead is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2) nature of the copyrighted work; 3) amount and substantiality of the portion used in the newly created work in relation to the copyrighted work; and 4) effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.”
Bottom line, we’ll be filing a counter notice today with YouTube today to reinstate our “Hope of November” music video rough cut, then work to make a better cut of the parody song available. If YouTube again bows to Geffen’s lawyers or Henley’s whine, we’ll take it to where we should have posted it at the start: PopModal, “The Conservative Alternative to YouTube.” (The now-banned “Hope of November” music video can still be seen at: http://www.chuck76.com/nov/.)
And, it goes without saying that I’ll now be looking for every opportunity to turn any Don Henley work I can into a parody of any left tilting politician who deserves it, (I keep thinking “All She Wants To Do Is Dance” would make a great transition into a Barbara Boxer parody).

Hard to picture any Texan being a liberal.
I would also suggest posting your video at Breitbart.tv, Eyeblast.tv and NMA TV.
Congradulations Chuck, you've made Henley's skin crawl. He's just gonna huff and puff and blow the man down. It's good to be armed with facts, as YouTube should capitulate shortly. Keep up the good fight one lib at a time.
Could Henley be any more self-important and irrelevant at the same time?
Wait. Don't answer that.
Since when have liberals been concerned with what the law actually says?
I'm so torn, because I really like the old Eagles' music, but Don Henley is such a putz! Can I still listen to and enjoy the Eagles, without my head exploding?
I've studied music copyright law, and satire and parody are specifically protected. So, while they can intimidate YouTube into removing the video – which I'm sure the libtards at Google were more than willing to go along with anyway – there is no legal case against anybody for using anybody's music for parody or satire… which is how it should be, I might add: Protecting pompous gas-bag artists (and politicians) from their own conceits has been recognized as a bad idea for centuries. *The caveat here, of course, is that this was decades ago, so things may have changed.*
I bring this up because it puts into further stark relief the utter thin-skinned humorlessness of the left, which is inextricably linked to their narcissism: Narcissists can't STAND to be mocked. So, I say to Don Henley – whom I love as an artist and songwriter (Have all the Eagles and most of his solo stuff) – "Neener, neener, you're a wiener!"
Arlo Guthrie has redone an oldie "I'm changin' my name to Chrysler" to "I'm changin' my name to Fannie Mae". It's funny stuff, so I'm all in favor of you using Don's material to lampoon the left. After all Weird Al seemed to come off OK with his parodies.
I saw the Eagles' in LA in 2005. When I closed my eyes, the music had all the sterility of a re-digitized CD master. Boooring! Fortunately the ticketswere free and we left about 3 songs into the second set. The Eagles' early stuff was back seat boogie music. Had a lot of fun at the drive-in…yeeehaw! Then the Eagles became "soooo serious" and like a lot of fat, bald, old and self-absorbed post-adolescent boomers, they have Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" stored as the ring tone on their cell phone.
Yet another Big Hollywooder whose entire career consists off leeching off the more talented and successful. First we get the filmmaker who sticks Michael Moore's name in all his movies in hopes of getting a shred of publicity, now we get this guy whining because Don Henley doesn't feel like sharing his creation with some leech who wants to use it for his own political and commercial ends. And of course all the posters here, who claim themselves to be capitalists, suddenly think that we should live in a socialist state where Henley's intellectual property should be appropriated to anyone who likes George W. Bush.
Maybe if some right-wingers actually created artworks that people liked and bought you all could stop whining about how more popular those mean liberals are and how they won't let you try to live off their success.

The Eagles were my favorite band of all time. Probably still are. BUT, they should have stuck to their promise, sailed off into the sunset, and kept their word before they did the "Hell Freezes Over" concert.
yeah, you tell em. You are so smart. Have you put your views on a pamphlet that I can read?
You are a very dedicated troll.

I'm sorry that it offends you, but parody is legal. Don Henley is in no way protecting his work; he is silencing free speech he doesn't like with an attorney.
Yeah, they should have retired years ago.
Isn't it funny that you now think the 1st amendment doesn't apply and that allmighty property rights and $$$ must be protected from leeches? And please don't call anything Eagles related "Art".
Absolutely. If liking rock music meant liking the artist we'd all be culturally poorer.Enjoy the music, ignore the artist's politics and live happily ever after.
Untrue. Big Hollywood has Steven Crowder and Zo–those guys are originals.
You've never been to Austin.
They be makin' fun on Don Henley! Waaaahhhh!!
Get over it and cross the bridge.
PS: Wait until someone samples PBHO's "Uhhh…" and reverbs it. It'll be just like his speeches. "Obama meets Max Headroom"
I'd pay to see that, by the way….
"All She Wants to Do is Spend" starring Nancy Pelosi
"Sunset Bill" starring Harry Reid
"The End of the Resonance" staring Obama himself.
(I get a partial credit on the writing)
ROFLMAO, Loudly!
Gawd, ain't it the truth.
CELEBRATE EARTH DAY THE RIGHT WAY: CHP DOWN A TREE AND KILL A FEW WOODLAND CREATURES!
I'm a huge fan of the Eagles but when I hear Don Henley go off on his crazy tangents, I become less of a fan a little at a time. He is all about social reform (secret word for Marxism).
Don Henley needs to join the Earth First club, rape and pilage Earth first, then we do Mars.
I've had the same problem, but I'm discovering if I hear some lefty's songs with a political bent and simply apply the lyrics to "The Great Telepromptor," I can still enjoy the song. For example, "Land of Confusion" by Genesis is a great listen when you apply to Barry and his cromines. Try it!
I'm actually a little surprised because I remember that song "Get Over It" with the lyrics to the effect that he was going to find "you inner child and kick it's little a$$". I loved that song because it was basically about whiners, which is exactly what liberals are.
But I guess I was wrong about him.
And didn't you know the new law: parody is only legal if it's making fun of religious people, Republicans, Conservatives, white people, etc.
Sorry you didn't get the memo.
Henley used to come in occasionally to the retail place I used to work at when I lived in LA.
Without a doubt, he was the rudest, most unfriendliest person I ever met. I even gave him the benefit
of the doubt; "Maybe he had a bad day. We all do." But it was consistant. He really did have the attitude
of "I'm Don Henley and you're not and don't ever forget it." Funny, he was the only famous musician
that wan't friendly. All the rest were sweethearts (especially Nicky Hopkins and Dave Edmunds).
I'm a musician and have worked in Hollywood, so I know how they all act.
It's typical for someone like him to do this. It's actually kinda sad.
Didn't he write some terrible song called "Get Over It"?

It won't stop me. I'll continue to blast out their songs just as I always have. All of them pre-breakup.
Love this video parody! Thanks
)
I heard a very nasty rumor about Henley and a briefcase full of felonious photographs one time. We shared the same barber. Now I wish I'd chased it down and gotten the goods on him. The music business and its personnel are the sickest there are in showbiz, Chuck, that's why they have such thin skins.
I was roommates with Nicky for a while after he and Dolly broke up. Total sweetheart, that guy. Died too soon.
How about a parody of "Dirty Laundry" all about Chris Dodd? Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
WHY do all of my favorites go down in flames with their liberal whines! It's enough to make you wanna cry! Fantastic lyrics Chuck!
Seriously what is up with all of these singers. Bruce Springsteen is another one and so is Mellencamp. Bunch of whack jobs the lot of them. I still like their music though.
Somebody ought to put together a list of songs aimed at the Right that can just as easily be aimed at the Left.
Genesis, Land of Confusion
Donovan, Hurdy Gurdy Man (saw this one used in an EXCELLENT anti-Communist clip)
Nine Inch Nails, The Hand That Feeds (just to give Trent an aneurysm)
Anyone else?
Roommates? Boy, you must have some stories.
He alwyays remembered my name and asked me what I was doing musically,
sharing a few stories along the way. He and Jerry Lee Lewis are the best R&R keyboardists ever.
Yeah, Chuck, PopModal's all well and good, plus Eyeblast.TV also a great home for conservative content.
With the way they're taking our money, How 'bout "Take it Sleazy"?
I give it about 18 months before you don't need to parody the lyrics to “The End of the Innocence” anymore. Just replace the video images from the 80's with stuff from the current administration. I wonder if he realizes his song “Garden of Allah” can actually be applied to him as well.
Don Henley (from an AOL Chat): "The song is basically about the growing inability of people to recognize evil. It is about the age of Cultural Relativism that we are living in. The title is taken from an old Hollywood apartment/hotel that existed from the late 20's until the late 50's."
Wow
Haven't you heard? Freedom of speech is only for those that tow the Left party-line.
Another fun trick that the Lefty trolls like wr1 like to use is to flag popular conservative YouTube videos as "inappropriate". Enough of them do it and the video is officially flagged as such. Then, to watch it, people have to log-in with a YouTube account. As most people don't have an account, they won't be able to watch it. Thus, the Lefty trolls are able to ensure that free speech is reserved to those that they think deserve it.
wr1, I am still waiting for you to tell me which line of the August 2001 White House security memo told you about the 9/11 attacks. You keep reposting that tired non-argument, but you never answer my question. I am starting to think you don't answer me because you know it is not in there.
Liberals been liberals since I don't know when
Full of spite and arrogance
[...] “Hope of November,” modeled after Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer.” (Read about it here.) Well, seems YouTube subservially (Subserviantly? Subservantly? How about “boot-lickingly?) [...]
When I hear Henley's name mentioned, I think back to the good old days when he was giving cocaine and qualudes to 14 year old, nude girls. Maybe he's simply looking for that bygone era…y' know…when that kind of thing was cool. The sad reality is that he'll probably get his wish with the new sheriff in DC.
Henley has put out two songs that amaze me were written by anyone other than a libertarian or conservative. "Dirty Laundry" written in the Eighties about the feckless media is even more relevant today. "Get Over It" from the Eagles' "Hell Freezes Over" is the best anti-whine/bitch/my-life-sucks-I'm'a-wallow-in-self-pity song ever written — which is a short list to begin with.
No kidding. What a beautiful tribute to personal responsibility. I liked Dirty Laundry too.
Yeah, Shut-up and sing comes to mind
I never was a fan of the Eagles. It seemed to me that they and the Steve Miller Band were the same guys. So I hear them on the radio and wonder if it's the Steve Eagles Miller Band.
Don Henley-Heavy Metal. That's it. That's all I can stand. And that's sad. Sad for Heavy Metal.
Why am I not surprised. At either Youtube or Don Henley.
I think the legal issue is well established, even if you don't like the law.
And, you are still stuck on GWB. Hey, the guy is retired. We have a new man in charge and he is fair game too. Just like Don Henley.
Free speech is a b**ch, isn't it?
Liberals amaze me regarding no real sense of irony, much less humor. This empowers Rush Limbaugh and his "show" effective. This is why talk radio liberals crash and burn, because they cannot laugh at themselves.
No irony, satirical wit, etc…when you cross them (or even just question them) they want your books banned, burned, your film and speech surpressed, etc. Orwell had them pegged 70 years ago…Hate speech? Thought crimes? Re-education camps…etc.
Liberals do not brook dissent lightly…cross them at your mortal peril…laughing at them just kills them!
Some but this was after Nicky sobered up. He told me about learning from Jerry Lee's records, including the mistakes. Brilliant keyboards, though. He used to get triple scale, but Rod Stewart, stingy bastard, would only pay him scale.
You know Mr. Henley I used to like your music but your game is old. You are old. No real man, a Texan no less would behave like you do. You worry about the most absurd, irrelevant things. But hey isn't that what an arteest does? Why don't you just shut up and finally for the love of GOD retire. SICK. OF. YOU!
Remember that old Mojo Nixon song "Don Henley Must Die?"
Geffen is a punk and Don Henley is his bitch obviously.
Of course they have no sense of humor. They're Marxists. Any joke directed at them is an attack by the reactionary forces that must be met with crushing force. Think I'm exagerating? Overreacting? Take a look at what has happened to our country in just three short months.
And Don Henley can truck on over to Walden Pond, stare out at the auburn sky, and shut the f**k up.
love your enthusiasm, certainly didn't try to 'Curb' it- evenEmerson and his buddywould 'thoreau up' over this…
Whenever I hear The Eagles mentioned, I think about that scene in The Big Lebowski where Jeff Bridges is begging the guy to turn off the car radio playing their music.
I never said this parody was illegal, simply that once again a dedicated Rightie can only get attention by sponging off a successful artist. Of course, what makes this even more hilarious is that Devore is in the California assembly. He's got political power that he could actually use to help the state. (Or, since he's a Republican, help destroy it.) He wants to be a US Senator — and he spends his time leeching off the talents of the more successful. At least Sonny Bono wrote his own songs.
Exactly. I get so sick of people thinking Texas is just a bunch of conservative rednecks. It's a big state with diverse culture. So Lance, stfu!
Austin is about as overrated a town we have in America. Nice town for sure, but people talk about it as if it were Athens. It is still rather cow towny. It certainly aint as liberal as the neophyte Obama.
Question is, when the revolution comes, will Don willingly part with all his riches so I can have my share?
Too true
Here we go again. Look, how stupid do you have to be not to understand that "rock stars" (with so few exceptions that they don't require mention), particularly those from the 70s, are slobbering leftists? What exactly did you expect? So you use their songs, expecting them to go along with it, and when they don't, it's somehow news?
Again, what did you expect? And why are you complaining about the inevitable now?
"Maybe if some right-wingers actually created artworks that people liked and bought you all could stop whining about how more popular those mean liberals are and how they won't let you try to live off their success. "
Maybe if some leftt-wingers actually created radio shows that people liked and listened to you all could stop whining about how more popular those mean conservatives are and how they won't let you try to live off their success.
Get Over It, Don.
Any 13-year-old girls die at your house lately?
1000 views Chuck! Amazing! What a tremendous following you have. Just remember Chuck, nobody has an inalienable right to post their videos on YouTube. That isn't what the Constitution requires of private companies.
It sure is nice to see how your parlaying your tremendous success working for Ronald Reagan into another career as an aspiring conservative version of Al Yankovich. Good luck with that!
Eat it, just eat it…..
It's about respect. It' not respectful to steal someone else's music
That's almost as funny as the girls from "Heart" saying the Republicans couldn't use their song "Barracuda".
Public performance fee? What's that?
You mean just ANYBODY can play our 20-year-old song if they pay us?
Uh, I believe that by definition, parody, requires an original "serious" work to mock or satirize.
"The End of the Innocence" was actually written by Bruce Hornsby and not Don Henley. Henley only sang as the lead track on his same titled album.
I agree. I find it funny that it is liberals that plays this annoying redstate/bluestate game. Most liberals in the media are on the coasts so excuse them if they've never set foot in your state to relieve themselves of their provincialism.
Wow. Don's lookin' a bit chubby, there. And I can criticize him 'cause I'M chubby, too! LOL
The Eagles were and are overrated. If you like country rock go back and listen to the Flying Burrito Brothers or Michael Nesmith or Gram Parsons' solo stuff.
Hell, or any number of acts that the Eagles ripped off.
And Don Henley is a hypocite.
He's such a lefty snob but he signs an exclusive deal with Walmart.
Bleaux me , Henley
You speak the truth. A while back I was offered a job guitar teching for The Eagles. The pay was stupid good. But I turned it down. I've been around a while. I know all about Henley and Frey.
We have to share stories , Skip.
Then stop listening to music. It's ALL stolen.
'zactly. If Mike Campbell's not makin' a squeak about Chuck parodying "Boys of Summer," who should cares what Henley says?
Once again the lesson here is: There will be no tolerance of criticism- no matter how clever, and the Left has absolutely no sense of humor. When politics are your religion any diversion from the party line (whatever it is that day) will not be permitted. Oddly enough, these things usually backfire; certainly Mr DeVore's witty take now has a buzz that would otherwise not be there. He got under Henley's skin- and good for him…
Don, is that you?
As a drummer, Henley's a lightweight hack with the sticks. And from the Hell Freezes Over video, thinks of himself as a genius composer. He makes good music but let's leave it at that. He's no genius.

The first time I heard Get Over It, I thought it was a conservative anthem. Then I found out Henley was a wussy liberal.
Awwww those dirty, nasty right wingers anyway. It's NOT like their like that talented Tina Fey making her career on the back of Sarah Palin Impersonations or anything like that. Right wr1? I mean THAT just wouldn't be fair at all. *sarcasm off*
…the left consistently fights for free speech, and equality for all to say and do and think whatever they like. As long as whatever anybody says, sings, does and thinks is in line with what they want. If not – they will call you a bigot, a homophobe, a xenophobe, an islamophobe, sexist, and anything else they can think of. They are the leaders in strawman, Red Herring arguments.
Sadly, the right doesn't play as mean as they do – and because of that – the right will lose everytime – and fade away. To the detriment of the country. Mind you – I am one, and I see my party disovling before my eyes because they refuse to treat this idealogical war with the left with the propery termerity and importance it requires.

The left wing musical dolts are famous for singing about the GOP/right wingers when in the White House..they point out how bad things are…Of course when a liberal is in office, all is right with the world…Mellencamp is famous for this, go and listen to the song by JM called "Country Gentleman"….the left wing loud mouth musicians lost alot of my support with their politics…I hope they suffer the consequences..Henley will for sure…less support means less money. Sucks to be them.
I know the story of him being caught with an underage girl and cocaine. Never heard anything else, yet. He wrote a song about it…they love writing songs about felonies dont they?
As a drummer, guitarist, composer, I can tell you Henley is an extremely gifted artist who puts out consistantly quality music that will last for generations.
I don't agree with all of Henley's views. A TON of Henley's lyrics have a very conservative viewpoint. It's just you loudmouthed extremists that fixate on division and hatred who want to make stuff into a culture war
There's the old advice of "write what you know." For example, if Sean Penn wrote about an underage girl in his Mailibu house trailer that God's seen fit to burn down twice in fires, would you believe it? If Polanski says "Yeah, but she really wanted it?" would you believe him? Apparently, Harrison Ford did when he flew to Europe to deliver Polanski's award from the scum Academy that gave it to him.
These people are the worst on Earth.
Hhahaha! You're funny! These whack job "musical artists" come out with their right wing bashing and you call us posters to Breitbart and BH the ones who are fixated on hate. Oh it is to laugh. The way the offenders try to turn the blame around is really too too hysterical by half.
Ken, you're right. Unless the Bush administration had explicit plans on exactly what the 9/11 attackers were going to do, including what they were going to have for breakfast, there was absolutely no reason for them to do anything about a warning of an imminent attack. I mean, they might have had to do some work — and there was brush to clear.

Hey, if he gets 1,000 votes against Barbara Boxer, that's probably 900 more than any other Republican could.

the whole gig was up when joe walsh joined the band, which ruined both the eagles and joe walsh for me.
I had almost forgotten that. Walsh was good, but it really screwed up the band as a whole.
I thought the band was well-rounded in several musical areas. But I was a fan of every other artist you mentioned as well. I liked Jackson Browne too, but still felt The Eagles covered his songs better than he did himself. As for Nesmith, it's going to be a long time before anyone tops "her name was Rodan." I don't know what Nesmith is up to today, but Jackson Browne's even nuttier than Henley.
I consider myself quite liberal… but the self righteousness argument is falling back in your face… what and all that it comes down to is someone wrote a song and you posted it as a representation of your own beliefs. but that's not that bad in and of itself. what's very uncool is that you didn't bother to ask and you didn't bother to care how the author would feel about it. what it comes down to is that with a song that is that well known, it would be extremely difficult to use it without generating a conception that henley shares your views regarding the issues your platform is involved with. and that wouldn't be so bad either, except for the fact that you're a moron.
wow- it took you a whole paragraph before the insult- you better work on that or your fellow lefties won't let you play with them…
you notice that the politicians always protect themselves –
example 1 – the telemarketers are banned from calling people on the no call list – but how convienient that the politicians can pester the hell out of you at dinner time.
now we have example 2 – parody for non commercial use is ok – but i think political use of this is a real stretch.
this is exploiting that "non-commercial use/non-profit" rule to an extreme.
I commend Don Henley for standing up to the thieves.
and ps.. i don't care if this was republican or democrat – if either party stooped to this level – I would expect the same.
my donation to don henley's legal prosecution fund is in the mail
