Original Title: TIL the longtime BBC “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” theme song was the 1975 Eagles track “Journey of the Sorcerer”. Glenn Frey and Don Henley, preferring a stadium rock sound, didn’t want the song on their album. Writer and guitarist-banjoist Bernie Leadon left the group that year.
