When you dub yourself a psychedelic rock band, the look can be just as crucial as the sound.

Purple rose petals covered the floor at Gramps Wynwood while the R&B duo BluLine the Artist whispered sweet nothings into my ear. I swear we locked eyes as they harmonized. I felt they were only singing to me, but when their pop-driven R&B music stopped, my trance was broken.

There is no logical reason for the Eagles to be playing onstage to a stadium crowd of tens of thousands of people each night in 2018.
