The Onstage Fight That Broke Up the Eagles
It s not unusual for rock bands to have creative tensions, but few bands take it to the limit quite like the Eagles. The 70s superstars broke up in 1980 after two of the band members actually threatened each other with physical violence onstage in front of a concert audience.
The Eagles were already struggling with a great deal of internal turmoil due to the pressure to follow up their career-changing 1976 album
Hotel California. The sessions for the subsequent album,
The Long Run, dragged on interminably and resulted in an uneven album, and by the time they wound up the tour in support of that album, things came to a head between singer-guitarist Glenn Frey and guitarist Don Felder.
A LOCAL photographer who spent months capturing life in the first Covid-19 lockdown has collated the images into a book. Victoria Fryer, from Ulverston, documented the town’s experience by taking doorstep photographs of families and key workers, as well as snapshots of the town’s tokens of resilience and appreciation for those working on the frontline. She provided residents with a digital copy of the pictures and asked that they made a donation to the ‘Ulverston Self Isolation Group’ on Facebook. And now the talented photographer has published ‘Remember When. Lockdown Through a Lens’ which contains hundreds of her photographs from the period.
IN January 2021 the Scottish Government is to publish the findings of a review into social care in Scotland. In the outline we read that it will take a “human rights-based” approach to the issue. Nicola Sturgeon has said that the Government’s response will include considering the possibility of a National Care Service, but what is not spoken of is how such a service is to be funded. In response to an open invitation the Scottish Socialist Party has submitted a paper outlining our vision of a National Care Service, namely that it should be publicly run and funded and, crucially, free at the point of need.
