Comerica CEO on Eagles Stalwart: Don Who?

Eagles honcho Don Henley, the Dallas musician Zac once called “terrible,” is famously zealous about guarding his privacy. And, it looks like his efforts have really paid off! Bank CEO Ralph W. Babb Jr.–whose giant Comerica Bank moved here last year from Detroit–recently bought a house in Bluffview that’s not far from Henley’s digs. But at first, Babb says, he had no idea who his famous neighbor was. “He’s a nice guy. We’ve met and talked now,” the bank bigwig said last night at the grand opening of Comerica’s new corporate headquarters at 1717 Main Street. “Initially, though, I didn’t put the name together with the band.” No worries, Ralph; lots of Dallasites don’t know who Don Henley is, either.
