Re: Bagels

I voted the plain with chive, but I'd actually choose a poppy or sesame seed with plain cream cheese, normally. Although if it's a true breakfast option, lots of times I'll go with the cinnamon raisin with plain cream cheese. Great stuff.

Obviously Frey had a lesser contribution to the music of The Eagles than David Bowie had to his own music, but I have certainly enjoyed a lot more of what The Eagles made than Bowie. I'm not claiming The Eagles were more influential or more important, but they made better music.
