"History of the Eagles" on Showtime tonight. McCartney's upcoming album.  New Fleetwood Mac album?  Sleep texting. Eight great reasons to start going to therapy. The ten dumbest places to meet the love of your life. Couples everybody knows. Nine things actual scientific studies teach us about fashion.

THE EAGLES

The Eagles will premiere the band's two-part career-spanning documentary, History Of The Eagles, on Showtime tonight and tomorrow (February 15th and 16th.) The doc, which recently had its big screen debut at the Sundance Film Festival, will be released on DVD "as early as March 19" with the package including two discs featuring the documentary and a third disc showcasing eight songs filmed during the band's tour behind 1976's Hotel California.

Part One of the doc chronicles the band's pre-fame years up through their split in the summer of 1980. Part Two touches upon the band's solo careers, their reformation in 1994, and their story up through the present day. The group members pull no punches in discussing their inner-band conflicts and drug and alcohol abuse during the band's career.

• All seven Eagles members appear over the course of the documentary -- Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit. and former members Don Felder, Randy Meisner, and Bernie Leadon.
• Despite Glenn Frey and Don Henley writing and co-writing the bulk of the band's catalogue, it's interesting to note that all the band-members had a hand in writing massive hits for the Eagles -- Don Felder wrote the guitar intro and instrumental tracks to "Hotel California" and "Victim Of Love," Timothy B. Schmit co-wrote "I Can't Tell You Why," Randy Meisner co-wrote "Take It To The Limit," and Bernie Leadon co-wrote "Witchy Woman."
• Leadon recalled collaborating with Don Henley on the band's first Top 10 hit, "Witchy Woman":"I don't know, it's sorta Chinese (sounding). And then Henley put that tom-tom beat to it. I conceived all the sections of 'Witchy Woman' as a guitar instrumental -- and then Henley wrote the words to it."
• Glenn Frey was aksed if he feels as though he's taking part in a historical outing every time that the Eagles reconvene to go on the road: "Oh listen, we are just a blip on the screen, babe. Y'know, we don't even think about those kind of things, although we've been, we've been around a while now, so we will rank as a band that was around for a while. But it's not for us to say."
• Bassist Timothy B. Schmit replaced Randy Meisner in Poco in 1970 and then again when he became the Eagles' seventh and final member in 1978. As a musician who stepped into Meisner's shoes in two high profile bands, he has a unique perspective on why Meisner couldn't last the long haul in either group: "Y'know, I don't wanna get too personal about Randy. I knew that he quit Poco years ago and I joined Poco, so I followed him twice, actually. And the vibe I was getting was from both band's -- without getting specific was that Randy just couldn't settle in and he wasn't content. For whatever reason -- and I think it was more personal reasons, than anything."
• Don Felder said that over a decade after being fired from the Eagles and suing his bandmates and manager, the tensions surrounding all the past and present Eagles seems to have cooled to a comfortable temperature: "I think there's not a lot of bitterness or resentment left in a lot of those relationships in the band. I know they invited Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon to be part of it as well, so that everyone that had been participating at some point in the career of the Eagles was represented, either in interviews or in existing, older footage. So, I know they tried to include everyone."

PAUL MCCARTNEY

Paul McCartney says that his upcoming album is designed to be performed live. McCartney shed some light on the new material, telling The Telegraph, "It's songs I'll be able to play on stage with my band. They're sort of rocking, but there are a couple of ballads as well."

He spoke about the new track, "Cut Me Some Slack," which he recorded with the surviving members of Nirvana, and premiered at December's 12-12-12 concert at Madison Square Garden: "It's a bit different from the songs on my album. It just came about because I'd been given a really hot guitar. It was a rocking jam: really instant and organic."

• McCartney admits that his past figures in quite heavily when working up new material: "Y'know, you reference most things you do either to, 'Would that work with the Beatles? Would this be a good Wings song? Would John (Lennon) like this?' Y'know, 'What would George play on this?' -- and stuff. I think you do that. I often think of John."

FLEETWOOD MAC

Stevie Nicks says that Fleetwood Mac is going to wait and see how their new material fares in the market before recording a new album. The band will release two new songs digitally before kicking off its North American dates in April. Nicks explained the situation to Billboard, saying, "Big, long albums don't seem to be what everyone wants these days. So we thought, 'Well, let's go the other route,' because Lindsey (Buckingham) was adamant that we have some new material. If we get that feeling that people do want to hear another 10 songs, then we'll reassess."

She went to talk about how exhausting the promotional campaign and road trek behind her recent Top 10 album, In Your Dreams, was to get the music in front of the public: "When we were talking about a long album, I just tried it, and I did more press than Fleetwood Mac will ever do."

Stevie Nicks said that the Fleetwood Mac's hiatuses are important for re-energizing and centering the band: "People always tend to say, 'Y'know, you broke up, y'know, in 2009.' We didn't break up. We never break up. We just take a break, and then Lindsey goes and does his solo stuff, I do the same thing, Mick (Fleetwood) plays in his blues band all over Hawaii -- he's opened a restaurant. John McVie lives in Oahu, which is where he's always wanted to live, where he has boat, and he's like a Hawaiian. So, it's like, everybody's ready. That makes it really special and it makes it something that everybody looks forward to. It's like a fantastic Halloween party that you haven't been to a Halloween party in three years."

  SOME PEOPLE ARE "SLEEP TEXTING"

You've heard of sleep walking, but some people are actually sleep texting now. Villanova University nursing professor, Elizabeth Dowdell, says she has had parents come to her and say that their teen will respond to the sound of their buzzing cell phone at all times, even in their sleep. The cell phone is left on their nightstand and the teen answers it with a text that they don't remember sending the next morning. Dowdell says the text is usually all gibberish, or at best nonsensical. Dowdell says fractured sleep is less restorative than unfractured sleep, and suggests placing a docking station in the kitchen or family room and having family members put their phones there at 10PM to avoid having them in bedrooms.

EIGHT GREAT REASONS TO START GOING TO THERAPY(The Stir):

1) You are not sure what to do with your life: A therapist can help you determine a good path that utilizes your best qualities and helps you downplay your worst.

2) You keep having the same fight with friends: If you are like many people, you keep making the same friendship mistakes again. And again. And again. A therapist can help you figure out why.

3) You want to make your marriage stronger: You know what helps a marriage? Time apart. Time to reflect. Better ways of communication. These are all things a good shrink can help you with.

4) You have a boss you hate: Don't vent to your boss. Don't storm out in a huff. Talk to your therapist. He or she can help you find ways of making work more tolerable.

5) Motherhood is overwhelming you: You know those moments you just want to SCREAM? Talk to someone about it. Spend an hour working on coping mechanisms. It's better than Yoga.

6) Your schedule is overwhelming: It may seem counter-intuitive to add YET another appointment to your insane week, but therapists can actually help you figure out what you can let go of, what you can outsource, and what you need to keep come hell or high water.

7) You stress eat: If you are using other unhealthy means of coping -- eating, smoking, drinking -- therapy can give your head the space to figure out why. And help you to stop it.

8) You are having nightmares: No matter what the reason, a good therapist can help you sort out what is happening in your waking life that is making it all worse.

THE TEN DUMBEST PLACES TO MEET THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE(TruTV):

1) The restroom. There are good places to meet someone and bad places to meet someone, and the toilet is at the top of the list of places that are not good for starting off a relationship. Whether you invaded the men's room because the line to the women's room was too long or you found yourself in one of those modern unisex restrooms, neither is a good place to meet the partner of your dreams. Do you really want that important event to happen within six feet of a toilet? We think not.

2) Prison. Oddly, some people find themselves falling in love with someone who is in jail, in prison, or on death row. For some reason, women seem more prone to this behavior than men. Either way, courting through bulletproof glass isn't the best way to find intimacy. Sure, your beloved inmate may swear up and down to the judge and you that they're innocent, but it's hard to say for sure when their 15-year stretch says otherwise. Besides, conjugal visits sometimes take place in trailers, and who knows if the sheets have been cleaned since the last Bonnie and Clyde did the dirty there.

3) A nerd conference. Nerds seek out other nerds for nerd dating, but this is a mistake all too often. Think about it. She's Sailor Moon. You're Darth Vader. Can't we all just get along? No, we cannot. Whether it's Comic-Con or a furry con, where people dressed up in mascot suits pretend to be animals and rub their faux fur against one another, this sort of geekitude is too weird of a foundation.

4) Where you work. Why, yes, the new secretary is attractive, or, let's suppose, your boss is a handsome devil. Our woodland friends know it's not a good idea to relieve yourself where you feed yourself. So, too, should you never get frisky with someone who occupies a cubicle near you. It's very tempting, what with their proximity, and it may go along swimmingly for a while. Then things turn south, and you have to look at the angry face of the one you dumped every day for the rest of your career. There is no worse fate.

5) Dive bar. It's one thing to score at an upscale bar. It's another thing to find a hookup at your local rat-infested watering hole. Here's how you can tell if you've picked the wrong pub: the bartender is missing more than one tooth, the toilet looks like the bathroom in "Trainspotting," they only serve beer by the can. In this sort of environment, it's entirely possible that you'll end up with more than a sexual partner, and it may have legs and be crawling across your privates the next morning.

6) Craigslist. With dating sites catering to every possible type of person looking for love - whether you're Jewish, a genius, or disabled - there's no reason for anyone to be trolling Craigslist personals for romantic couplings. Ever since Craigslist shut down their, er, erotic services section, their personals have been swamped with escorts and johns looking to pay-to-play and using code words to do it. The only thing worse than a bad date is a date with an escort you didn't realize you were hiring.

7) Kentucky. According to The Daily Beast, the worst U.S. city for singles is Lexington, Kentucky. The city scored a failing grade in number of singles, social life, emotional health, and marriage. Lexington did score an A+ in one category: divorce. So, if you're looking to get hitched and ditched, you'll find plenty of company in misery in good ol' Kentucky.

8) Your shrink's waiting room. You never know what the other person is there for, or if they might have suicidal tendencies. The best way to avoid any sort of disaster from happening is to read the old magazines on the table and not look at or speak to anyone else until you are safely in your therapist's office.

9) Facebook. Social media is good for creating online bonds with people you know already or people they know, but beware the spam bot who is trying to get in your pants. The viruses from those sorts of relationships are hard to shake.

10) Right there. Stop sitting there! Go out into the world - to the park, to a concert, to the gym - and start talking to a member of the gender that attracts you. You'll be telling your "How We Met" story to your bored friends in no time.

COUPLES EVERYBODY KNOWS(The Frisky):

1) The couple who is super openly passive-aggressive with each other. They snipe at each other constantly, and you're like, "Why are you two even together when you obviously hate one another?" The reason? Their sex life is probably insane.

2) The couple that breaks up once week. These guys aren't passive-aggressive, they're aggressive-aggressive and they're addicted to high-pitched drama.

3) The couple who's always accusing each other of cheating. He reads her emails, she goes through his texts. They are the most insecure idiots you know, and somehow, like a moth to the flame, they've found each other.

4) The couple who is practically having sex on the table at your dinner party. Oh, these two. Did you forget they're a couple? How could you, since they've constantly got their tongues shoved in each other's orifices.

5) The couple who won't do anything without the other one. You invite her for brunch. He shows up with her. Did you want to get drunk on mimosas and talk about the latest episode of "The Bachelor" with Greg? Probably not. But there he is.

6) The couple which is obviously gunning to be a "power couple." These two are drawn to each other because they see the obvious ambition and social-climbing capabilities of one another. They're the first couple to split up and try and take over a room at a party, or try and manipulate the social scene they operate in.

7) The couple where one is obviously more intelligent/more attractive/way nicer than the other. You can't understand why she's dating him, because he seems so dumb. You just don't get what he sees in her. But hey, there they are, happy as clams, defying evolution and the general laws of the universe.

8) The couple who could both do better, but stay together because they're afraid. Loneliness, it's one hell of a drug, and it's what keeps these two together, despite the creeping feeling that they should really just break up.

9) The couple that are best friends, but probably nothing more. The love is there, but the passion is gone.

10) The couple whose every move is documented via their social networking profiles. These two want the entire world to know how much they love each other. All the time. All up on your Facebook wall or in your Twitter feed. Get a room.

NINE THINGS ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC STUDIES TEACH US ABOUT FASHION(Buzzfeed):

1) If you want to get paid, wear red. In one study, waitresses who wore red made between 14.6% and 26.1% more in tips from male patrons than those who wore other colors. Men may find red more attractive than other shades in general - some have speculated that it's because the color mimics women's genitals, but this has been debunked.

2) A skirt may help, too. Participants in a 2011 study rated women in skirt suits as more confident and flexible than women in pants. They also thought the beskirted women had higher salaries. This doesn't speak particularly well of people or our preconceived notions, but it's possible that skirts will help you at work.

3) For successful flirtation, cultivate a sunny appearance. In a study published earlier this year, women were close to 10% more likely to give their phone numbers to flirty strangers when it was sunny than when it was cloudy out. It's not spring yet, but you can make believe by wearing sunglasses indoors.

4) A white jacket could make you smarter. In a 2012 study, people who wore white coats performed significantly better on a standard cognitive test than those who didn't. The catch - they needed to be told it was a lab coat. If they were told it was an "artist's coat," the effect disappeared.

5) Never take off you heels. A 2010 study found that wearing high heels frequently shortened women's calf muscles and stiffened their tendons, making it harder for their legs to stretch back into a flat-footed position. The result: pain and discomfort when wearing flat shoes.

6) Heels can confuse your perception of gender. Looking at high heels a lot also may make people more likely to perceive androgynous people as male, according to a 2012 study. That's because looking at something for a long time can make you see its opposite, the way staring at a red wall can make you see green when you look away.

7) Men need not fear being labeled "metrosexual." Because the term is totally over, according to a real study conducted by a sociologist really named Casanova, in 2012. The men Casanova surveyed said the term was being used less and less as all men paid more attention to their appearance.

8) Wearing jeans too much might mean you're depressed. In a 2012 study, over half of women said they wore jeans when depressed, while only a third would wear them when happy. Baggy tops were also popular depression-wear, with 57% of women saying they'd put one on when they were sad. The study author said clothing could also affect mood, not just reflect it.

9) You don't have to be a designer to get famous. Earlier this year, researchers turned their attention to fashion bloggers. They found a kind of feedback loop: "Once a blogger has established a large audience through repeated displays of good taste, this audience begins to attract the attention of the fashion system, and this then provides social and economic resources to the blogger, further augmenting her audience."

Thanks for listening to The Eagle while you work. Keep it fabulous, Houston!
