 from where the female character in “Wild” started.. ..to the person she became in real life today. The film chronicles her inspirational story  (before the majesty of the Pacific crest trail) you just knew she was on the right path. it is a timely message for us all and is a reminder about how much we are capable of.  The Dude would like to take his 23 year old daughter to this event. In the Dudes mind.. The band "Eagles" and the film “Wild” are connected.  ..reminds us of the California terrain that Cheryl Strayed walked In 1972 ... Peaceful easy feeling hits the airwaves.. and it was like nothing else going on musically. The youth of the day (like Reese in the beginning of the film) were struggling with what was going on in the world There was a knowingness that nature offered a calming influence  the billions of stars all around the solitude of the desert the eternal knowledge that exists out there the healing the ultimate Peaceful Easy Feeling. Dude Footnote:  Talking of miracles.. Just saw the History of the Eagles Rock documentary.How everything fell into place with the coming together and putting together the debut record .. was like divine intervention.  How original members Glenn Frey and Don Henley got work as backing musicians for Linda Ronstadt. and how they knew Jackson Browne (who was a conduit to David Geffen) and how they were friendly with Jack Tempchin (writer of "Peaceful easy feeling") and how they importantly came to meet the two other music talents.. .. Eagles members Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner  and arguably the most important piece of the puzzle meeting UK producer Glyn Johns How all these people and events came together to release this first single. IMHO - It was just meant to be. |
