Lookin' for a lover Who won't blow my cover She's so hard to find.

Are you implying the woman in Winslow AZ is a beard? Or MtF? Or perhaps this is a sudden realization of a preference for female anatomy with male social behaviors?

Always took it to mean he has a wife and is looking for lovers who won’t ruin his marriage. Maybe I just know too many people who’ve been womanizers that this scenario is my assumption

Really annoys me how half the rock songs I like proudly announce what an absolute scumbag the author is

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Not all songs are based in reality, they’re just stories that sound good. Plus most are a time capsule of the times they were made in, being a womanizer wasn’t as frowned upon back then and was pretty much expected of musicians

I don't disagree, but I still think it says something about the writer of the song. Cheating on your wife is and was scummy behavior, and so is romanticizing it, just less so

Essentially every eagles song is from the perspective of an alcoholic who can't get relationships right.

I always thought it would mean it's a woman that is willing to sneak around in hats and sunglasses and hide from the paparazzi, instead of being an attention whore

Maybe 7 is enough?
