The Eagles "Take It Easy" is how I start nearly every road trip.

You mean Jackson Browne's "Take it Easy?" He did the heavy songwriting lifting, after all. ;-)
I'm talking about the Eagles recording. Jackson Browne may have written it with Glenn Frey, but the Eagles recording is the one I know. Jackson Browne occupies a completely different folder in my musical head.

Took a trip from CO to AZ, and had to jump to that song when we pulled off the interstate for a lunch stop in Winslow, AZ. And yes, there is a flat-bed Ford at the corner.The Eagles "Take It Easy" is how I start nearly every road trip.

Jackson may have written most of the words but THE Eagles made the music that we all, well most of us at least, love.It's more fair to say that Glen Frey lent a hand in the songwriting. Sure, Eagles version blew up and Browne's didn't. But whose song is it? Jackson's, clearly. And check your records/CDs/MP3s. There is no "the" in Eagles.

I bet most people on this forum can’t tell you who wrote “New York, New York”, but they can damn well tell you who sang it.
Trust me. I’ve heard Browne’s version. THE Eagles version is better.Check your record covers. I assure you, it's just "Eagles."
Browne's version is on his second LP, "For Everyman." Definitely worth a listen, especially for anyone sick of listening to the same 100 songs over and over on classic rock radio.
As for (Theme From) New York, New York, the "theme from" should be a dead giveaway to anyone who isn't a Scorcese fan.
