An Eagle describes his bandmates

I'm enjoying reading the DON FELDER memoir, "HEAVEN AND HELL: MY LIFE IN THE EAGLES (1974-2001)," in which the guitarist details his career path with the platinum-selling rock band.
Here is how Felder described his bandmates when he first joined, during the recording of the "ON THE BORDER" album:
GLENN FREY: "A rebel without a cause from the Motor City, with his reflector shades, flipping an unlit cigarette in his hand and catching it, offering quick one-liners while constantly flicking his hair back off his forehead. Later I heard that his mother once said he was so ambitious he reminded her of a rattlesnake."
DON HENLEY: "A soft-spoken, introspective songwriter. He was an English literature major and wrote wonderful prose. He'd sit scratching away at his legal pad, constantly listening to the last track or editing what he'd just penned. He was fair, rational and levelheaded, if a little moody sometimes."
RANDY MEISNER: "The nicest guy I ever played with in a band. No matter what went down, you could hang out with 'Meis' and have a laugh. Naturally shy and quiet, he hated it when the attention was focused on him or his playing, but there were few occasions when I saw him unhappy."
BERNIE LEADON: "So brilliant musically that you could forgive him almost anything. He was also high-strung and extremely headstrong. His argumentative nature and lack of diplomacy sometimes made him unpopular with those who didn't understand or know how to handle him."
