THE HELL FREEZES OVER REUNION
In 1993, the impossible happened. Henley and Frey decided to bring the band back together after 13 years. But with the reunion came the caveat no drugs or alcohol or the reunion was off. The Eagles reunited and recorded a new album called - what else? - Hell Freezes Over. It was a turning point for Walsh. He was encouraged by Henley and Frey to try rehab, and he did and finally conquered his dependence on alcohol and drugs. Seated in his tour bus near the Washington Monument, where he came to headline the Unite to Face Addiction rally last fall, Walsh told the Washington Post he hadn't really been able to do much of anything sober for decades. But since emerging from rehab in '94, he's remained sober ever since. And he's writing and playing perhaps better than ever. "As the disease of addiction progresses," he said, "it convinces you that you can't do anything without it. And really you give all your power away."He says he took it slowly while working up the confidence "to relearn how to do just about everything sober." He didn't write music for four or five years, but at some point he realized that life was better without alcohol. The band has continued to record and tour ever since the reunion, as well as leaving the members free to pursue solo careers and other interests. Although sadly Glenn Frey passed away last month, today, the Eagles are known as one of the best-selling bands in the world, with more than 150 million albums sold world-wide - 100 million in the U.S. Hotel California sold 32 million copies alone. And Walsh has recorded at least a dozen of his own albums.
"YOU DON'T JUST FLICK A SWITCH AND YOU'RE SOBER"
"I've been sober for 18 years now," he told Interview magazine in 2012. "It wasn't like you flick a switch, and you're sober. It takes a while. You have to learn how to do everything all over again. You can measure how long that takes in terms of years. "What I didn't know at the time was how to write music and do rock-'n'-roll and live rock-'n'-roll and record sober. I didn't try to do that at first. I learned how to take care of myself and then play in front of people. I didn't tackle going back to rock-'n'-roll until I had some sobriety under my belt." Today, Walsh speaks out against substance abuse of all kinds, appearing at meetings, retreats and giving interviews to help others get on track with the message of getting your life back. Walsh's 2012 composition "One Day At A Time" that celebrates his recovery from addiction has helped him spread the word that there is no shame in addiction, the Post reported. "I see so many addicts in this country and it's destroying so many lives and so many families. I've got to do something about it," he said. "My message," Walsh said, "is that there is life after addiction, and it's really good. If I had known, I'd have stopped earlier."

That’s a funny twitter feed. Airwolf, when I was a kid that show was the shite. Early 80’s was a good time for cool helicopters. I remember Roy Scheider in Blue Thunder.







As for my pick in the pool I think it’ll be Tom Brokaw.
