Don Henley and Glenn Frey followed a routine while writing some of the most emblematic and enduring songs of the 1970s.
The men, who co-founded the Eagles, would rent a house and bring in a piano and guitars.
The two would rise in late morning — “musician time,” Mr. Henley testified in a Manhattan courtroom on Monday.
They would make coffee, then have “philosophical” conversations and begin trying out riffs and discussing “song titles, subject matters, concepts,” he said.
Mr. Henley paid particular attention to lyrics, crafting and refining them on legal pads.
