My Life (according to the Eagles)

I was tagged on Facebook by Gzel. And I always comply.

Here is the rule:

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions with that artist’s songs’ titles. Pass it on to 15 people you like and include me. You can’t use the artist I used (Gzel used Michael Jackson). Try not to repeat a song title. It’s a lot harder than you think!

[I thoroughly enjoyed this meme. And I did not find it difficult, maybe because I chose an artist/group that has 7 record albums and 2 live albums, and whose songs are somewhat reflective of my life. ]
