I always loved this picture. She seemed very human here, like someone I could chat over coffee with and get my mind absolutely boggled by her thoughts. Often the “women in stem” seem unattainable in their official portraits or in intense focus. This made her seem like a person.

My theory is that these dudes get so used to people telling them how right they are that they truly believe they have the only solutions to the world’s problems, so see stroking Trump as a means to their own vision of what the world should be.

Good tune tho. Henley was the strongest songwriter in the Eagles, imo, and I prefer his solo stuff anyway.
