An open letter to the music of Don Henley and The Eagles

Dear music of Don Henley and The Eagles,

Although I am sincerely flattered by the recent interest you have shown in me, your actions, quite frankly, have become excessive and unwanted. While I do enjoy hearing a selection from your musical catalog on occasion, the frequency in which you have been playing as of late is far beyond what one could consider normal or common place.

Curiously, you have been showing up everywhere I do. Specifically, in recent weeks you have managed to arrange to be at the grocery store I frequent, at my place of work, in a friend's car and at my family's home. Further, last night you appeared unannounced and uninvited at my apartment. I do not know, nor do I want to imagine, how you managed to turn my radio from the off position into a platform for your "Best of My Love".

In any event, your actions must stop. Although I am holding both of you, the music of Don Henley and the music of The Eagles, jointly and severally liable, I suspect a greater portion of the blame lies in the music of Don Henley. Your persistent playing of "End of the Innocence" has been especially problematic in recent weeks.

Please consider this a formal request to cease and desist from playing any and all music from any of your compilation and/or greatest hits albums including, but not limited to, "Lyin' Eyes", "Hotel California" and "Desperado". Although unverified as of yet, I suspect you may also be responsible for the recent series of hang up phone calls made to my cell phone. If this is the case, please refrain from any further activity of this nature.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this matter and I trust no further action will be necessary.

Regards,
Sarah
