Eagles spreading their wings
OK, so we all know the Eagles are amazingly talented musicians, super cool rock stars and all-round great guys, but it turns out Jesse had a hidden talent; TV presenting. Unsurprisingly, he wasn’t introducing ‘Songs of Praise'or guest presenting the ‘Antiques Roadshow'(though it would have been great to see the reaction of the usual sweet little old ladies on the programme as a moustachioed, tattooed rock God enthused “I loved this jewellery ”) but was featuring on the Internet TV channel Vice, co-hosting a documentary series about living the rock ‘n'roll dream.
The 12-part series, called “On the Road” was presented by Jesse for the first six episodes before Tim Harrington of Les Savy Fav takes over. Jesse chats to fellow rockers about what inspired them to get into the business and the hard-working guys behind the scene that make albums and gigs happen, as well as featuring a host of live performances from some of the rock greats – including the Eagles!
As Jesse’s stint in front of the camera came to an end, he heads out to the Rancho de la Luna, where dozens if not hundreds of rock stars and musicians have headed for inspiration, peace and the chance to knock back bottles of whiskey in the desert. Taking a tour with fellow Eagle Dave Catching, the two learn more about the amazing history of this influential and almost mystical venue. The show finishes on a high note as Jesse interviews the Eagle’s hardcore engineer John about his craziest escapades during a life on the road, before all the guys convene for a secret desert gig. Of course, nothing compares to live shoes, but as a poor second, “On the Road” is pretty damn cool – and Jesse at least knows he has career options should the Eagles ever call it a day..
