The Eagles performed during a benefit concert for California Senator Alan Cranston on July 31, 1980, on what has been described as "Long Night at Wrong Beach".Tempers boiled over as Glenn Frey and Don Felder spent the entire show telling each other about the beating each planned to administer backstage. "Only three more songs until I kick your ass, pal," Frey recalls Felder telling him near the end of the band's set.Felder recalls Frey making a similar threat to him during "Best of My Love"."We're out there singing ‘Best of My Love', but inside both of us are thinking, 'As soon as this is over, I'm gonna kill him,' " recalled Frey. The animosity purportedly developed as a result of Felder's response of "You're welcome – I guess" to Senator Cranston as he was thanking the band for doing the benefit for his reelection. A live recording of their song "Life in the Fast Lane" from this show was included on their live album, entitled Eagles Live. This marked their final live performance, as The Eagles, for 14 years, until April 25, 1994.

These cufflinks (Gustave Sherman 'Senator' Cufflinks) belonged to my late father-in-law. They were given to him by his wife (my late mother-in-law). Now, they are a keepsake to remember him, who recently passed away a few months ago this year.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
Opel built the Senator from 1978 until 1986. It was a large saloon designed together with the Monza coupé. It was based on a lengthened platform of the Opel Rekord/Commodore. This facelifted model has a 2.5 litre 6-cylinder engine with 140 PS.
20020417DE Taken in the Preussischer Landtag, the, at that time, Wirtsschaftsenator von Berlin Thilo S. The SPD politician who had been dog-whistling consistently racist socio-political positions for years was finally ejected from the SPD at the end of July 2020. An example anybody? How about that he blamed Merkel for the deaths by drowning in the Mediterranean of thousands of refugees by suggesting that if she stopped inviting them that they would stop trying to reach Germany. #blackandwhite #206 #racist #populist #refugees #nastypieceofwork #mendacious #knownknowns&unknownknowns #art #realpeople #reallives #truestories #portraits #b&w #photography #instagram #street www.hughes-photography.eu www.flickr.com/photos/michael_hughes www.flickr.com/photos/michael_hughes www.hughes.berlin
This was a shot I was really kinda bored with until I started looking at those lions. I wanted to know more about them. This building, which are now offices, has been here since 1924 and it is Italian Renaissance in style. The lions give it a Beaux-Arts touch. Both of its architects studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. The main architect, G. Albert Lansburgh also built the Emporium building in San Francisco as well as several theatres including the Orpheum, El Capitan and Wiltern Theatres in Los Angeles. Also the Shrine Auditorium. I've been in all these buildings and now I'm inspired to revisit them.
Wonder which lion is king...
