I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around
We got the bubble headed
Bleached blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry
Can we film the operation
Is the head dead yet
You know the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry
[Instrumental Interlude]
You don't really need to find out
What's going on
You don't really want to know
Just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around
(Kick 'em when they're up)
(Kick 'em when they're down)
(Kick 'em when they're up)
(Kick 'em when they're down)
(Kick 'em when they're up)
(Kick 'em when they're down)
(Kick 'em when they're stiff)
(Kick 'em all around)
Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers
In everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
We can do the Innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done
We haven't told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry

eeeek Rupert Murdock! Hold me I'm scared!
@April: I just thought it was timely. Or perennial.
To be honest, I was never much of a late-career Eagles fan. This song is not in my iTunes, but it is lodged in my head.
I'm not a big Eagles fan. Take or leave them. Some of Don's work was good at the time. solid pop.
For the life of me I cannot understand why people pay all that money to stand packed like sardines in an arena like that. What do you get for your trouble? Tinnitus.
The left have all their scary boogeymen lined up. They are told, and they believe.
They don't look that "tightly packed" at all. Not by my concert-going standards.
I saw Don Henley at Red Rocks in the 1980's when he had that big popular album. "Building the perfect beast?" (was that it?) I made out with my BF the whole time and the people behind us told us to "get a room." that was the first time I heard that. "get a room." It made perfect sense. I do remember it was a great show. Hard not to be great at Red Rocks.
The last concert I went to at Red Rocks was Neil Young and Chrissy H. (of The Pretenders) She was amazing. Her set was too short. He was bland, and his set was too long. Left early. The crowd was annoying and I vowed never to see a live show again.
About 10 years prior to my last show at Red Rocks I saw Jackson Browne. He was brilliant. But no more shows for me. I cannot stand the crowds and the noise. Get off my lawn.

She can skirt over Clinton mischief

@April: I went Red Rocks a few times in the 80's: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Grateful Dead, The Meat Puppets, maybe others.
@ chickl - Fantastic. Best earthy venue.
I saw some crap in the 80's there as well. too embarrassing to mention. Missed U2.
Billy Idol... lol.
We got a crop cut androgyne come on where feral cat's roam.
Attached to her voice is a microphone that runs through a wax paper wrapped comb plowing Democrat skeletons under.
Smiling and smirking and waiving her arms
heckling jeckling the full range of her charms.
working up a hex that would harm
plowing her parties felonies under.
