Takin' It Easy



I was standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, when I noticed this fellow with a guitar. He seemed to be waiting for something.

Fans of the Eagles will recognize this scenario from the song "Take it Easy." Winslow has immortalized it with this statue and the mural on the wall. Note the eagle on the window ledge. They've even parked a real flatbed Ford truck at the curb. "It's a girl, my lord, in flatbed Ford, slowing down to take a look at me."

My brother-in-law John told me about this statue and when I saw the cutoff for Winslow, I just had to stop. This one's for you, John!
