A Day In Rock: September 16th, 2013 – Witchy Woman
On this day eleven years ago… Tired of listening to her roommate play The Eagles endlessly, Vernett Bader (pictured) of North Charleston, SC grabbed a serrated knife from the kitchen and repeatedly stabbed her male 65-year-old roommate. The gent suffered wounds on his arm, hand and elbow. And here’s the shocker, according to police, both parties appeared intoxicated.
Bader told officers her roommate had been listening to The Eagles with another man when she told him that she did not want to hear “Witchy Woman,” “Tequila Sunrise” or any other of Don Henley’s songs. When her roomie told her to shut up Bader went for the knife.
She was charged with domestic violence of a “high and aggravated nature.”
Ironically, two years later, to the day, The Eagles Don Henley received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Americana Music Honors and Awards Ceremony at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
