5/7/2008 Kasey Bell Don Henley and Eagles Don Henley and The Eagles are somewhat new to the Country Music scene, but Don already has noticed some interesting things about it. The music group has made great strides into the world of Country Music, headlining the second annual Stagecoach Festival and performing at the CMT Awards, but Don has seen how he and his band can still get away with more than some of their contemporaries. “I think people expect us to do what we do, and where other people might not be able to get away with it - like our friends the Dixie Chicks - we get away with it,” he said.  “I’ve said some outrageous things about Bush in the press…and nothing has come of it.” Don also said the reason they get away with it might have something to do with their past. “I don’t know if people just ignore that part of it because they love the old stuff so much,” he said.  “Maybe we’ve just made such a deep inroad into their hearts and minds that they forgive us when we do something that offends them.”   Source: TheBoot.com
