'We're the F***in' Eagles. Kiss My Ass!'
Tom Hibbert, Q, August 1996
Thus, in 1972, spake Bernie Leadon, then guitarist with FM country rock's Biggest Band Ever. As their Hell Freezes Over tour hits the UK, and fans "call up the Captain" at the H*t*l C*l*f*rn**, Tom Hibbert declines the kind ass-kissing offer and gives the unit-shiftin', "rip"-snortin', cop-arousin', barney-havin' quintet-cum-legend what-for.
