Part 8/10:
As Felder aged, his perspective evolved. Facing the reality of a storied past, he view his expulsion from the Eagles not as a curse, but as a blessing that enabled him to regain autonomy and self-worth. He described this period of self-discovery as an important contrast between cooperation as a band member and his newfound independence.
In his more recent statements, Felder embraced a philosophy of forgiveness—not as a way of absolving others, but as a means to liberate himself from the burdens of unresolved conflict. His insights, shared through workshops, address not just music technique but the psychological impacts of the music industry on individual identity.
