        Winslow, Arizona, included in the Eagles "Take It Easy" has taken their claim to fame "to the limit".

         

        "standing on a corner..." has become a new revenue stream; good for them!

         

        I've been there (before Glen) and it was a sweet place in the 70s/80s; seemed non-judgemental, laid back and friendly; wish I'd stayed.

         

        peace

                  "Oh, oh, oh, oh, Montana, give this child a home
                  Give him a love of a good family and a woman of his own
                  Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
                  Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies"
