...perhaps the best cut on the album, with an anger that eclipses the past "Take It Easy" style of social commentary. The song works because it's a logical evolution from the old sound--not a self-conscious deviation from it. And in "King of Hollywood," Henley and Glenn Frey reiterate the old themes, but without the Hotel California gloss; this one is straightforward and un-hyped...
...Eagles, one of America's top-selling acts (their last album, 1976's Hotel California, sold 12 million copies worldwide), have been popular favorites even as they have endured some tough drubbing from the critics. The group, particularly Co-Writers Don Henley and Glenn Frey, have been taking it on the chin for such presumed transgressions as coldness, stylistic calculation and lyrical arrogance. Some of this criticism is justified. The Eagles are a motivating commercial force in rock more than a creative one. The Sad Cafe tries to shape a coda for the '60s by shoring...
Businessmen must share the opprobrium for stifling innovation.

Bell & Howell's Frey maintains it is a myth that only small firms can be innovative, adding that only large corporations have the capital and the distribution network to take new products from lab to market...
...never presented as anything less than humane and pleasant. Niceness, however, does not quite cover the fact that the Jamet character is kept in ignorance of her true situation and, in her innocence, exploited. There is also some rather ugly background information that leads one to believe that Housekeeper Frey may be a good deal more psychotic in his motivations than the movie cares to admit openly, while his male companion may be somewhat more than charmingly antisocial in some of his. The movie is, finally, quite dishonest: an antibourgeois tract that is far from forthright in admitting where...
