    		As Andy said, Don Henley grew up in Lindale, Texas. Lindale's school mascot is the eagles. To a greater extent, Henley went to school at the University of North Texas, whose nickname at the time was the Eagles.

    		Andy and Emilimo are right. I have a friend who went to Lindale High and U of NT with Henley and confirms the story.
