Don Henley Testifies on Past Regrets and Poor Decisions
Don Henley, co-founder of the Eagles, testified in a Manhattan courtroom about stolen handwritten notes and drafts for hits like "Hotel California." The notes, which had deeply personal meaning to him, were allegedly stolen decades ago and later sold to a rare-book dealer and two other men. The prosecution claims the documents were stolen by an author who had signed a contract to write a book about the Eagles in the late 1970s. Henley expressed alarm upon learning that some of his "Hotel California" notes had been put up for auction online in 2012.
