Here's an interesting tidbit that came up on my Google alert today!

It's about how famous voice-over actor Jess Harnell got his start. It was from imitating Glenn Frey! Here's the excerpt that talks about it:

"Nancy Cartwright: I want to know how you got started: tell me about your early years -- did you always want to do voice-overs?

Jess Harnell: That's a very interesting question and it's kind of a neat tale. I got started by being a rock and roll singer. You'd never guess that if you saw me, but those are my beginnings. I always was a mimic and I always loved to parrot voices, from the time when I was a little, little kid. I started by doing impressions of my family and that graduated into people I saw on TV and in movies. So, I was singing in bands and my dad, meanwhile, was a big composer for TV and film. One time he happened to mention to me that he was angry because "The Prince" (he thought Prince, the singer, was "The Prince") wanted a lot of money to use one of his songs on a TV show my dad was doing and he said he was going to have to get a sound-alike. I asked what a sound-alike was. He said, "That's when you get a guy who imitates the guy on the record and you just have to pay them a scale payment and you can use the song." I said, "Dad, I can imitate all these singers." And he said, "This isn't jumping around at the Roxy in your spandex, this is real show business." I asked him to let me try -- let me try to learn it!

NC: And you were in your 20s? Your teens?

JH: Hmm, how old was I? I was 21. Well, it wound up that I didn't do it for Prince, but my dad called me up and he said, "Have you ever heard of Glenn Fryes?" I said, "Do you mean Glenn Frey?" And he said, "Whatever! He's got a song called 'The Heat Song,' do you know 'The Heat Song?'" I was trying desperately to figure out what my father's "code" was and I said, "Do you mean 'The Heat is On?'" and he said, "Yes! Can you sing that exactly like Glenn Frey?" I said yes and he said, "Don't say that -- that's not professional -- you need to go listen to it, make sure you can and let me know and then maybe I'll hire you." That said, he said he'd call me back in a half hour and as I was saying that it wasn't enough time, he hung up on me.

NC: What did you do?

JH: I ran to the record store, bought the record, took it home, wrote down the lyrics, even all the "woos!" and "yeahs," learned it, called him, and he told me to sing it. I put the record on in the background to sing along and he said, "No, I've heard the record, I want to hear you sing it -- sing it a cappella." Uh... OK. So I sang it to him. I finished and heard, "Hmmm… Hmmm... Alright, this might work. Be at Warner Bros. tomorrow at eight in the morning." Eight in the morning? He said, "That's right, you've got to be up early if you're going to be in show business!" So I went in, sang the thing. It went great and I began to market myself as a session singer. I knew even then how important marketing was in terms of establishing your career."

Another Glenn mention in the Houston Chronicle (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/society/6145384.html):

An excerpt:

Frey, a fan of Charlie Wilson’s War, recently told a mutual friend that the one person he wanted to meet during the group’s Houston performance was [Joanne King] Herring. The rendezvous was arranged, and Herring has the photos to prove it. She promised to send Frey an autographed first edition of her own book, said to be a prequel and sequel to Charlie Wilson’s War, when it is published in December 2009.

sodascouts
12-04-2008, 06:48 PM
She's a politically active conservative Texas socialite, recently returned to the public eye thanks to the movie Charlie Wilson's War. Charlie Wilson was a Texas politician who worked with Herring to fund fighters in Afghanistan, and the movie documented how a politician known for whoring and drinking became someone who put himself on the line for people across the world... and the inevitable complications such an act brings. Herring, portrayed by Julia Roberts in the movie, was the person who pushed Wilson to act. She's quite a character: wealthy former beauty queen, married three times, known "back in the day" for her extravagant parties, yet very driven to further causes she believed in.

Thank you for that TF. I can think of some non-American team sports where massive egos and huge expectations sometimes get in the way of the team's best interests. Europeans will know that if I just say 'Manchester United' and 'Real Madrid' that sums it up. The Australian cricket team appear to be going through a similar crisis at the moment.

Very clever - nice find, TF!



In the 1970s, when the group was at its peak, Frey and Don Henley got into vicious shouting matches in the recording studios and backstage at concerts.

It seems Glenn is much more frank about the deterioration of his relationship with Henley in the late 70s when speaking to this sportswriter. Usually he glosses over any issues with Henley and focuses on Felder and the Long Beach incident when discussing what led up to the 1980 breakup of the band.

I saw this Glenn mention regarding the Boys & Girls Club and I was going to publish it on GFO's front page, but then I remembered reading this exact same wording last year around this time. Do you think he's made another donation and they were just too lazy to change the wording, or it's just a repeat story? Here's what it says:


Among the unique, one-of-a-kind items was an acoustic guitar owned by musician Glenn Frey from the Eagles and signed by all four band members. Frey's parents live in the desert and arranged for the donation, saying, “Glen grew up in a Boys & Girls Club in Detroit.”

http://www.kansascity.com/490/story/1166095.html


By late in the third quarter, the Lakers were toying with the Jazz. Bryant made a layup, hit a 3-pointer and fed Gasol for a slam dunk. Odom added a bucket and just like that it was 80-58.

The crowd spent the ensuing timeout cheering the celebrities shown on the big screen at Staples Center - John McEnroe, Dustin Hoffman, Glenn Frey and, of course, Jack Nicholson.

Here is an excerpt from an article about the five greatest shots in L.A. Lakers history where Glenn gets a mention:

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-plaschke-lakers13-2009jun13,0,438305,full.column

From the Los Angeles Times
BILL PLASCHKE

Lakers have a history full of miracles

Derek Fisher's shot was great, but it wasn't the greatest.
Bill Plaschke

June 13, 2009

4. Big Shot Bob's biggest.

I remember standing at my courtside media seat in stunned awe after Robert Horry made his buzzer-beating three-pointer in Game 4 against the Sacramento Kings in the 2002 conference championship.

The series had just been tied. The postseason had just been kept alive. Arguably a championship had just been won.

Horry incredibly hitting from the top of the key? After luckily catching a ball batted out by Vlade Divac? With the red light glowing around the basket?

Around me, Staples Center fans were hugging and screaming and crying.

In front of me, Horry had just stuck his hands behind his back and strutted downcourt in probably the most famous celebration dance in Lakers history.

Besides me, suddenly, there appeared Glenn Frey, one of the founding members of one of my favorite bands.

He slapped his hand on the press table.

"The Eagles never wrote a song this good!" he shouted.

4 Glenn Frey. Frey made five soundtrack appearances in the '80s, three of which did major damage: Smuggler's Blues and You Belong to the City from Miami Vice, and The Heat is On from Beverly Hills Cop. The latter pair narrowly missed out on the top spot on the charts, which is more than we'd care to say about his contributions to The Lonely Guy, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, and Ghostbusters 2.

When he's bad, Frey is extremely bad.

I fail to see any point in that comment. Nothing like that was said about any of the other acts. I have rarely seen anything so gratuitous. Also, as far as I know he didn't sing the songs he wrote on those other soundtracks (I don't even know what the Girls Just Want To Have Fun song is).

Flip City is a great song, even if nobody has heard of it.

Anyway, he made another appearance on a soundtrack later, in the 90s. The film was Thelma And Louise. I think we all know what the song was.

You're right, FP. This guy obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. Two of the five 80s soundtracks he claims Glenn was on - and that he says are "extremely bad" - are not even sung by Glenn. Glenn has a writing credit on them. That hardly qualifies as "appearing on the soundtrack" in the commonly understood sense.

You know these lazy journalists. They go to some site like IMDB or the All Music Guide, look up "Glenn Frey" and "Soundtracks," copy and paste what they find, then pretend they actually know something about the songs firsthand. What do you wanna bet this guy never even listened to the songs he's criticizing, but just made the pronouncement in some misguided attempt to be clever?

However, in fairness, I do see the point the writer is trying to make. IMO, there is a pretty big drop-off in quality in those latter-mentioned songs. I really would have to disagree that Flip City is a great song. And as far as On the Loose, well, err ... let's just say it's not Glenn's best work. I'm glad he isn't the one singing it. :wink:

Flip City isn't my favorite song; it's a bit too gimmicky - but hey, it was Ghostbusters. I agree that On the Loose (http://www.glennfreyonline.com/multimedia/MP3/OnTheLoose.mp3) isn't the greatest.

But I actually find the song The Lonely Guy to be moving and effective. I feel its simple, mournful melody is perfectly reflective of the poignant sentiment of the song; I love the harmony that begins in the second verse; I love the way there is a brief melodic surge evocative of desperate urgency in the plea "In a world where so many people need love so desperately, don't it make you wonder why there's a lonely guy?" which then returns to that mournful melody to finish with "Don't pass by... one lonely guy." Those who haven't heard it can listen to it here:

Regarding Flip City I have a blind spot. I've always loved it. It isn't quite like anything else he's ever done. I take your point about the 'gimmicky' aspect but that's part of its charm. It rocks so hard. That 'I wanna know WHY' part at the end is one of my absolute favourite vocal moments.

Just a cute mention, excerpted from a blog:

Hey Glenn…where’s my 15 bucks? L.A in the mid ‘60’s is difficult to explain to people that weren’t there. It was, (and I suppose, remains to this day), full of famous people…most of whom were not famous yet.

[...]

The Detroit transplant I used to hang out with at the Troubadour and other bars turned out to be Glenn Frey.

[...]

So yeah, you always knew a bunch of famous people, but they usually weren’t famous until long after you met them. That is really difficult to explain to friends years later, who think you’re dropping names, but in your reality, just telling a story about some guy you used to know that still owes you 15 bucks for a case of beer who happened to end up as an Eagle.

Check out this cute story from GreatestHockeyLegends.com (http://www.greatesthockeylegends.com/2009/08/its-another-tequila-sunrise.html) (they even link to a photo from my site! :) )


Did you know Glenn Frey of Eagles fame is a huge hockey buff?

Frey grew up in Detroit and was a big Red Wings fan. He was able to watch all the Hockey Night In Canada games. Hockey was his favorite sport.

When Eagles made it big out in Hollywood, Frey became a Los Angeles Kings season ticket holder and he even became good friends with several of the Kings players - such as Dave Hutchison (http://lakingslegends.blogspot.com/2008/12/dave-hutchison.html), Bob Nevin (http://lakingslegends.blogspot.com/2007/03/bob-nevin.html), and Gene Carr. Frey even wore Carr's jersey (http://www.glennfreyonline.com/images/eaglesHCSB01.jpg) on stage several times.

In Ted Mahovlich's book Triple Crown: The Marcel Dionne Story (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/0006391346?ie=UTF8&tag=1972summitser-20&link_code=as3&camp=212553&creative=381305&creativeASIN=0006391346), Hutchison recalls a story of Frey coming out to practice with the Kings injured players, including Hutchy and Marcel Dionne (http://lakingslegends.blogspot.com/2007/06/marcel-dionne.html).

"I got suspended and Marcel was out of the lineup for a few days. When the team went on the road, if you were injured or suspended you didn't go. We'd stay home and practice at the Culver City arena, the old practice rink we had. So I used to bring Glenn along.

"He loved to play hockey and would show up religiously, and at the same time he's recording these albums. He would get home at three o'clock in the morning, shit-faced and stoned, and then show up at our practice rink at eight o'clock in the morning - still all googly eyed - and he'd come out and play with us. He wasn't an NHLer, but he grew up in Detroit skating. So he'd come out and play, sweat like a bastard, and then go back to making his music."

Check out this story from the blog Heather's Happy Hour (http://heatherangellshappyhour.blogspot.com/2009/08/heather-goes-to-glasgow.html) - it's too cute! For context, read the whole article, but I'll just snip the part directly relevant to Glenn for here:

-------------------------

Frey [the bus driver Heather meets in Glasgow] says: "So I'm on this website for people who come to Scotland looking for information about their ancestry and I get this call one day from this bloke who says he's going to be in Scotland on tour with his band an he asked if I'd meet up with him to chat family history. Then he says my name is Glenn Frey I'm in the Eagles. I said sure, I'll meet up with anyone for a pint but you ought to know mate you're pronouncing your name wrong it's not FRY it's FRAY."

At this point I'm gaping at the guy having always been a huge fan and the time frame for the story was the Hell Freezes Over Tour. So I said, "So did he show up? Was it Glenn Frey from the Eagles?"

Frey: "Yep, he showed up with back stage passes just for talkin with him, an let me tell you, those boys live like kings!"


---------------------------

:hilarious:

Freypower
08-19-2009, 07:40 PM
I'm confused. So there was a bus driver also called Frey who pronounced it 'Fray'? Reading the story it seems as if it may have been his first name.

He (Glenn) must get sick of that. When he was here in 1988 he was asked on radio how he pronounced his name. :brickwall:

sodascouts
08-19-2009, 08:42 PM
I read it as his last name. Often people are addressed solely by their last name, especially men (like when Joe says in Farewell 1 "Henley's not through with me yet.")

I honestly think Glenn probably got a laugh out of the guy telling him he pronounced his own name wrong. Come on, that's funny!

Ive always been a dreamer
08-19-2009, 09:04 PM
I agree Soda. As someone who has a "difficult" last name, I have spent my entire life telling people how to pronounce it. You just learn to deal with it and "not sweat the small stuff" as they say. It's just easier to laugh it off and find bigger fish to fry (or fray). :wink:

Freypower
08-19-2009, 09:08 PM
It does make you wonder how some people ended up pronouncing it in the 'Germanic' way (Fry) and others pronounced it 'Fray'.

If I were Swedish my husband's surname would be pronounced 'GusTAFson' with a long 'a', but he says it 'GUStafson' because that's how I assume his father and grandfather said it. People also assume that the first syllable is 'Goos' which it probably is in Sweden, but Mike says 'Gus'.

Brooke
08-20-2009, 09:50 AM
Simple as my first name is rarely does anyone get it right, except family, who call me by my first and second name together. Which makes it even harder for others who hear that.

I've learned to pretty much answer to almost anything!

One of Glenn's classmates has become an music teacher who teaches music to wounded veterans and started a program to give them guitars and instruction as well called Strumming for Vets (http://www.strummingforvets.org). Below is an interview with him. He only mentions Glenn in passing to say he went to school with him, but I thought I would note the article nonetheless. His name is John Rola and he is also a Vietnam veteran.

He wrote the "Moral Malnutrition" line from "I've Got Mine" and also wrote up several interesting commentaries on the Crosslake show from last year, which I was lucky enough to attend. He's put out another blog that revisits this experience, but this time his focus is on Deacon.

Well, this isn't really much of a "Glenn mention" but it gave me a laugh!

The relevant snippet:

"Holiday performs Magnetic Arrest before Stockdale performs a brand new Wolfmother song, New Moon Rising for the very first time in a live setting. Both close the show with a stunning version of the Stevie Nicks/Glenn Frey song, Leather and Lace."

http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2009/09/returning-rockwiz-2.html

A Glenn and Stevie duet? I WISH!!!! Although of course they would need to choose another song. ;)

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't wish for this; I think it might overload my circuits and cause internal combustion.

Freypower
09-21-2009, 08:02 PM
At the moment he won't even do backing vocals with another artist, let alone a duet with a (shock, horror) WOMAN.

He doesn't seem to be that type of singer. A lot of the time he doesn't even appear to think of himself as a 'singer' the way Don does. I don't know why, but that has to be respected if that is what he wants.

Brooke
09-22-2009, 09:56 AM
Evidently Glenn is happy with his life the way it is without constantly doing more music. Maybe he's done all he wants to do and just wants to live his life quietly without all the hubbub. Maybe he just doesn't need it anymore. He's certainly entitled, but of course his fans want more, more, more. Why keep doing it if you really don't want to or have to? :shrug:

If it was me, I'd say enough is enough and live the life of luxury.

sodascouts
09-22-2009, 10:55 AM
I guess it depends on whether you see making music as something you love and want to do forever no matter what it takes, or making music as a difficult job that you've done for money and therefore is no longer necessary when you have enough to live high on the hog for the rest of your life.

ETA: Re-reading the above, I realize it sounds very harsh. I'm not trying to say that Glenn doesn't love making music per se, but I think perhaps he doesn't love the process of making music on a professional level which, while profitable, is also very arduous. In the past it was worth it to him to share his music with the public, but maybe not anymore.

Ive always been a dreamer
09-22-2009, 11:00 AM
ITA with what you said, Brooke and Soda. I really think Glenn could work with just about any musical artist that he wanted to. However, he has never seemed to have a driving desire to consume himself in music, which is why he probably pursues so many other interest such as acting, sports, and family. As you said, it may be a bit of a bummer for us fans who want to see and hear as much of him as we can, but I'd rather see him happy with his life. He has earned the right to live his life on his own terms and I applaud him for doing that. I sure wish I were in the position to do the same. :wink:

sodascouts
09-22-2009, 11:36 AM
Thinking about this also gave me a couple other ideas!

1) One might say that while making his own music on a professional level is arduous, but why would he skip over singing backup on someone else's track when all he has to do is show up and learn the part? I think he only does that for his buddies or people he cares about (hence BB King, Laura Creamer, etc) but otherwise shrugs it off. Why should he run around lending his voice to everyone he asks, when he was probably just asked to increased their marketability?

As for singing with women, we actually had a thread dedicated to this about a year ago: "Glenn Backing Up the Ladies (https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=933)." He's just not interested, I guess, and never has been. Of course, we're assuming he's been asked.

2) Maybe part of his reluctance to release new music is insecurity. Strange Weather didn't do well, and he poured his heart into it. Maybe he just doesn't want to take that chance again.

dianemaddox
09-22-2009, 11:43 AM
Maybe he has some other source of income that's less risky? Not to say that he didn't invest his Eagles earnings well, of course.

Ive always been a dreamer
09-22-2009, 11:54 AM
Of course, I don't know this for sure, but it doesn't seem like this is about money. My guess is that Glenn is way more than set for life in that department. It's more about how he chooses to spend his time. Even if he does a guest appearance on someone's album, I suspect that is still rather time-consuming. You are at the other artist's mercy, and have to spend as much time as they want to 'get it right'. I think right now that the Eagles consume whatever time Glenn spends 'working'.

Whenever the subject of 'is he ever going to record another solo album' is raised I live in hope for five minutes and then reality sets in. I only wish that he was aware how much his real fans love Strange Weather. I know people asked him at Pebble Beach why he didn't perform songs from it and as I recall, he evaded the question.

I am grateful for what I have. I am still gobsmacked by the performances he treated us to on the LROOE album. For the moment I am satisfied with those songs.

In her e-mails to me as "Dawn Henley," she claimed that Don had married her in 1969 but that Richard Nixon had forced them to separate. She then stated that the "deadline" for the end of their separation would be on August 10, 2009 at which time she planned to "continue our marriage as a co-habitating couple."

That's why I forwarded them to the Eagles' publicist. I thought there was a chance she might try to kidnap Don or something. While I knew this was probably just crazy talk and nothing would come of it, better safe than sorry.

I am watching the Lakers game on Tnt. They just showed some celebrities in the crowd. There was GLENN talkin to comedian George Lopez. The stupid announcers only mentioned George. These media people are such morons. By the way; GLENN LOOKED HOT.
I found this pic by zimbio. Unfortunately, Glenn is to seen only on the edge

My God. How unfair is that? From what I could see, he looked good. I love it when he wears a jacket & shirt.

He isn't really a 'celebrity' in that he can be in plain view and be ignored, especially at Lakers games. God only knows what the Lupus thing will be like when he is supposed to be the centre of attention. :sad:

Well, FP, if we were taking the photo we'd have cropped out George Lopez, so I guess it's fair in that sense. ;)

I think the photographer just didn't recognize Glenn. If he had, surely he would have included him in the photo. The Eagles have been world-renowned for almost 40 years. George Lopez seems like a nice guy and he can be really funny, but in terms of success and fame, there's no comparison.

Glenn looks almost nothing like the guy folks remember from the Hotel California insert. It's his name and his music, not his face, that's famous.

Perhaps. I would have thought if you had been famous for that long your face might have become slightly more recognisable. I don't know how many people use the Hotel California album cover as a point of reference no matter how many copies it sold. That was over 30 years ago.

It's his name and his music, not his face, that's famous.

All part of the master plan, IMHO. I've said this many times before, but I believe that it is no accident that many people still don't recognize the band members to this day. I think they planned it that way so that they were/are able to walk down the street and not draw huge crowds. That is why, even in the 70's you didn't see their pictures being splashed all over magazine covers, etc. Heck, the only album that has their picture on the front cover is Desperado. I also think that was a lot of the reason that they were constantly changing their appearence i.e. clean shaven on one album, mustache on another, full beard on another, etc. I guess they learned a thing or two from Beatlemania.

I think 'YBTTC was his only other solo hit' is rather unfair. He didn't have any other hits as big as these, perhaps.

I had no idea the video could be analysed in that way given that a lot of it just contains shots from the film. The 'mic pounding spiking lens' part I like. There should have been more of that and less of the 'sax player'.

Much as I like the song I wish Glenn's solo career could be remembered (How I hate to use that word)! for his more substantial material.

Finally got a chance to read this and I love it! The story about the band's first days in Aspen which he expanded upon in concert was very cute. I also liked hearing more about his memories of the early days pre-Eagles in Detroit. I love interviews that go beyond the obvious questions and elicit factoids we haven't heard much before. It's only a shame it's so short.

His comment about being the "happiest man in the world" because audiences still loved them in their music was very sweet. Of course we still love them. They are awesome. He and the Eagles deserves their success, that's for sure.

And with five months of shows next year, looks like the Eagles will hit 40 years after all. Wonder if they'll play Colorado again in that stretch? It sure would be fitting.

I listened to more of it late last night until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore & there are a lot of interesting tidbits. The interview is 2 hours long! Here's a preview-Glenn says that they are looking into making a Hotel California musical, a musical off all Eagles music! I've got another hour to listen to & I'm going to listen to that now.

Nancy, thanks for finding the full show. I went there but I guess I didn't skip ahead far enough of it to realize that the show was so long & that Glenn came on later. It's really a chat more than an interview which makes it more fun, I think.

Glenn's segment starts at about the 55 minute mark. When I saw the picture of Robert Wuhl, the host, I thought that he looked like "Arliss" from the TV show of the same name on which Glenn guest starred on an episode. I didn't realize until I went to check the time in this interview where Glenn came on that he was in fact, the actor who played Arliss. :brickwall:

01-21-2011, 06:00 PM
I'll let you know what I think when it's finished....how nice to hear from him. Nice photo.

'Cowboy dream crap'..... :hilarious:
I don't know what I think of the musical idea. I would rather see something new. If not from Glenn himself (I have just about given up on that) then the Eagles should do something new. These jukebox musicals tend to be expensive failures. If they could make it good, well, that would be nice, but my initial reaction is scepticism.

'I had some solo hits'..... he could have some again if he tried. Thanks to them for pointing out that YBTTC should have been Number One. Anyway....

I respect Glenn's opinion of Al Kooper but he is fundamentally a 'sideman', not a front line performer (he played the organ on Like A Rolling Stone).

I'm afraid all the American sport references went over my head.

'The auto-immune couple of Southern California'.... ooh, there goes the 'God likes a quiet giver' reference again.

'G minus' - funny, but all the Carl Lewis/national anthem stuff went too long.

One brief throwaway 'make a solo record' mention there...

Why was he at the Beverly Hills Cop screening with Henley? He & Henley were not even talking then, I thought. I have heard this story before (he tells it in a video interview).

No Superbowl...I can understand that.

His explanation of why they can't be more spontaneous isn't very convincing, I'm afraid. So they have a programmed light show. OK. Surely they could work around that.

Now they're all talking about American football.... Glenn is very knowledgeable. I would not have a clue.

Discussion about China - interesting.

Well, that appears to be over. I am so grateful for that.

GlennLover
01-21-2011, 07:57 PM
Glenn expands a little bit more on the Broadway musical near the end.

I am not familiar with all the sport references that are discussed either, but I love to hear Glenn talk about the things he is so interested in.

At one point he refers to the Eagles as the "Mother Ship". He says that they all can go off & do other things but, they always return to the Mother Ship. :thumbsup:

sodascouts
01-22-2011, 03:00 AM
OK - my thoughts!

- First off, as I've said before, I love how relaxed Glenn sounds, like he's in a great mood and having fun. When he has fun, we have fun. ;)

- The man obviously has an amazing memory. He kept rattling off names and dates and was able to discuss the catalog of any classic-rock musician they brought up (and they brought up a lot). This is good news for us if he ever decides to write a biography!

- Loved how much he talked about the Detroit / Linda / early days. Glenn rockin' the "Ramblin' Man" backing vocals. ;)

- Interesting that he talks about wanting to impress Neil Young in the early days, which Young was such a jerk to him later. You suck, Neil Young!

- He only thinks there are two or three Eagles songs that will stand the test of time? I wonder which ones? I guess HC and TIE are givens, but what else? I personally think that is a serious low-ball number. Probably just being modest.

- I thought the "Cowboy Dream crap" was funny too.

- Glenn is always praising Don Henley to the skies. He's so gracious.

- This is the first time I've heard Glenn talk about hiring Joe with an eye towards making them "a bigger concert attraction." The "rolling Joe out in a roadbox on stage" is hilarious. I love that he says Joe helps them "kick a$$."

- They opened for the Rolling Stones in 1975? Does he just mean for the festivals like Wembley?

- Wow, Glenn didn't shy away from the money split question. Smooth.

- LOL About Michael Jackson (RIP) wanting to buy a lot of his own albums to get Thriller ahead of Eagles: The Greatest Hits.

- Hotel California was only the 3rd biggest selling album of the year of its release. I get they were behind Fleetwood Mac's Rumours but Saturday Night Fever??

- Glenn says "Hotel California" has no fixed meaning because it is "a state of mind." Interesting.

- Eagles as an opening act were dissed by headliner Jethro Tull back in 1973! Again, I love hearing these early stories. (It reminds me of the Holland 1973 show where Glenn says something like "This next song, Witchy Woman, was a single off our last album, you may recognize it... at least, we hope you do....")

- White rock stars can't get old and fat! LOL! Glenn: "You know what helps us? The songs are still pretty good." Still, he has to know how lucky he is that he still looks so good.

- Glenn jokes about "You Belong to the City" sitting at number 2 for six weeks and how he's not bitter that it got edged out by Jefferson Starship's "We Built This City." Then, of course, they play a clip of the obviously inferior "We Built This City" as Glenn exclaims "There you have it, ladies and gentlemen!" So funny!

- I had never heard how Glenn got his Los Angeles Lakers floor seats in 1979 because they hired the guy who owned the LA Forum (and the Lakers) to promote the Eagles concert there. Now look at him! And I love that Glenn uses the word "fandom" ("That was the beginning of my Laker fandom.") That term was popularized by internet fan communities. He's with it!

- I love how reverently Glenn talks about the Lakers "Showtime" era games. "They had a run against the 76ers that was like a 49-9 run, that was just the most beautiful 20 minutes of fast break basketball that you ever saw..." He's so into it!

- I about died laughing when he referred to himself and Cindy (with RA and lupus, respectively) as the "auto-immune couple of Southern California." LOL! And yet he's so modest he doesn't even want to talk about how much he's done for Lupus LA. What a guy.

- So Glenn not buying into the Cleveland hockey team "Killed hockey in Cleveland!" That gave me a laugh.

- Glenn: "I'm doing the song in G minus" when referring to singing off-key. hehehe.

- Make a solo record. Yes. Please. (I know he was just making a vague reference to stuff an Eagle "could" do outside of the "mothership" of the Eagles band but still).

- I'm not surprised Glenn was with Henley at the Beverly Hills Cop movie premiere, especially since Azoff was the one who invited him. Remember that Glenn reached out to Don that year by playing "Desperado" on David Letterman and dedicating it to him.

- Glenn, regarding THIO: "They paid me a nominal fee- $15,000." Um. That's nominal in 1984? mmmkay. No performance royalty for soundtrack songs, eh? Yet he still says he finds it thrilling that it's played at sport events. That's adorable.

- The Eagles would rock the Superbowl but I can see why they might not be big on the whole medley thing.

- Glenn likes the Black-Eyed Peas! I like 'em too, although they have some big stinkers along with the good stuff. More surprisingly, he likes LADY GAGA! Oh my freaking gosh! "Wear whatever you want," he says, unfazed by Gaga's questionable fashion choices such as the raw meat dress. ;) "She's got some chops." He also says he likes Bruno Mars; I'll have to check him out. "Chord changes - what a concept." lol

- And Glenn explains why he's not doing Pebble Beach anymore. They didn't invite him back! BOGUS!!!!! Thank God I got to see him when I had the chance. That, and the events that later transpired as a result, were freaking highlights of my life. I'm not even kidding.

- Looks like Glenn might do some guest-announcing at a baseball game! Good deal!

- Hotel California, the musical? I love anything Eagles, but it will be weird to listen to Broadway singers do the vocals that can only be done justice by our guys. Still, I'm game. I'm just wondering if it will be quasi-autobiographical like Jersey Boys or completely fictional with the songs as a skeleton for the story like Mamma Mia. I would prefer the former myself but I imagine the latter is more likely.

This interview... and Glenn Frey... are made of awesome. :)

Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did, Nancy! I know that we diehards have heard many of these stories before, but most people hadn't. I read some comments on another site & they loved hearing Glenn tell these tales. And he did elaborate on most of them. I, also, was glad to hear how & when he got his Laker's season tickets as I had wondered about that.

Loved hearing that Glenn & Robert Wuhl had such a great time filming the Arli$$ episode & that Robert was leery of having another musician as a guest due to past experiences. LOL

the Carl Lewis/national anthem stuff went too long.

I agree. I felt sorry for the guy - he sounded fine when he wasn't trying to hit the high notes, and that's a hard song to sing as they all admit. I noticed Glenn didn't seem to think it was quite as funny and was like "That's why I'm never singing the national anthem at a ball game" (he said he'd been approached to do it a couple times).

Soda, thank you for your as usual superb analyis. You are so right - he is 'chill'. He has such a beautiful, relaxed speaking voice.

I think he thinks the Eagles songs which will stand the test of time are Hotel California & Desperado. He doesn't sing either of those (during Eagles shows). He seems very, very reluctant to say much about the Eagles songs he sings. Yet again though he mentioned writing Tequila Sunrise & Desperado on the same day but the band doesn't play TS any more. What is with that? :shrug: Oh yeah. He sings it. You notice that he makes a joke of his solo career now. 'But I'm not bitter'. I stll think he has another solo album in him.

Re Neil Young being nasty to him about the Pepsi ad: I have said before that although Neil can be very pompous, most of the time his talent outweighs his pomposity. He was wrong back then, though. :coke: The two of them don't really 'fit'. If I were Neil I would ask Glenn to do the Bridge benefit as Don did. Glenn would do it in a second because it is in aid of research into cerebral palsy. But then Glenn isn't 'hip'.

Regarding the 'money split' stuff: yes, it was smooth. Yes, he handled it very well.

ETA: Re Pebble Beach; that, sadly, is what I suspected had happened.

I've been listening to this interview as I've been browsing and catching on things I've missed this past week. My fist thought is how calm, cool, and comfortable Glenn seems to be. Really makes me wish he would do these kind of interviews more often. I don't know what it is but I'm always just so fascinated to hear these guys speak. I mean, I LOVE listening to them sing and they totally have my attention there but I'm also just so captivated by their speaking voices too. Anyways, here's my thoughts on the interview:

- I love the sports talk. Glenn is just so into it.
- I do wish the Eagles would do the Superbowl halftime show but I can understand why they won't. It would bring them a lot of exposure though. Not that they really need it but I think it could open them up to even more of an audience. But Glenn has done medley's of some of his songs before. Why can't the Eagles do that too?
- Pretty cool that he's into the Black Eyed Peas, Bruno Mars, and Lady Gaga. I like the Peas and Bruno too but I'm still can't quite get into Lady Gaga. Although, I will admit that I kind of like her songs Poker Face and Bad Romance. Kind of. I rarely switch the station when those two songs are on the radio.
- Made me smile to hear him make a reference to Blackjack. :smile: :lol:
- Loved the story about MJ buying more of his own albums of Thriller to beat out Eagles: Their Greatest Hits. I know I was a bit bummed after MJ passed to read that Thriller had surpassed our guys but Glenn is right "At that level, who cares?"
- My first thought on the Hotel California musical was "Really?" Now, I've never been to any musical so I wouldn't know what to expect but I just can't picture anybody but our guys singing Eagles songs. It's just not right. But it seems like Glenn is pretty involved in this so I gotta believe that he's gonna make it work and be as true to the original songs as possible. I really don't think that the Eagles would sign off on this if they don't think it's going to be up to par.

That was a fun listen... I have to say, the thing that caught my attention most was when he said, "God likes a silent giver". I thought that was very touching.

Hadn't had a chance to comment on this before now, but that interview was FREAKIN" AWESOME!!!

I loved it. And Soda, it looks like we need to be on a mission to find another Pro Am golf tournament that Glenn would be interested playing. :grin:

Also, need to start saving to go see a future Broadway musical. :thumbsup:

Maybe I missed something, but I didn't get the impression that Glenn was interviewed for the film. I hope I'm wrong, but the reference only mentions that these folks that hung out there. The way this reads is that if Glenn was interviewed, then so were all of the others that were mentioned.



Not only did "The Troub" host their (Taylor and King) first appearance together in 1970, but it served as the showcase for all their singer/songwriter friends composing, writing and living in nearby Laurel Canyon. That rustic, hilly terrain, winding between the suburbs and the city, became a kind of musical campus, peopled with the likes of David Crosby, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Glenn Frey, Bonnie Raitt and Kris Kristofferson.

Dreamer, that was my take on it too, as I read that paragraph, but when I read this at the bottom of the article it made me think that maybe he was interviewed. I'm keepng my fingers crossed!

I'm guessing he does speak in it. The short video that (our) Troubadour posted that acts as a preview shows Jackson and Kris.

I was going to bring that video over here but it's already been taken down. :roll:

I should have been more clear.

If you look at the end of the article this appears:

Troubadours

Running time: 91 minutes

To me this is a list of the people who are interviewed during the film.

:oops: I missed seeing that last part that you posted, FP. From that info - it certainly does appear that Glenn was interviewed. I will be very glad to be wrong in this case. Fingers-crossed.

This is cute! A rock group called Ladies of the Canyon talks about wanting to build a time machine to go back in time to the seventies:


After a long day of music journalist questions about how they classify themselves (are you country, pop or rock?), they had decided that the best way out of here, and away from these kinds of questions, is a time machine.

"If it was the '70s, it wouldn't really be a problem," explains Davies. "It would just be rock'n'roll, and they would play us on the radio, and it would be awesome."

"We're working on a time machine that, specifically, lets you go back in time to 1968. We could all be 20 again, but with [the musical ability and skills we have now], and we can spend the whole '70s opening for The Eagles and The Band," explains Anna Ruddick (vocals and upright/electric bass). "And Glenn Frey is going to be my boyfriend.

"And we'd just fly around being really famous on a private jet, lying around on piles of money and doing giant, '70's quality rails."

"But Glenn Frey is a really little guy," cautions Davies, who is keen on taking on Steely Dan (despite my admonishment that at 20 in 1970, she would probably have aged them out).

I have never seen this article... and I will admit, I did not search this thread to see if it was posted previously. It's from 2008...

ETA: LOL ... of course it's on this site!!! I just read a bit further and see that Soda had left a comment for the author. :) For those that have read it, it'll be fun to revisit it... and for others, it'll be new to you! :hilarious:

It's real lump in the throat stuff.

For those of us who sometimes feel that Glenn is not given the credit he deserves, or that there is insufficient appreciation for his talent, Mr Sullivan puts our minds to rest.
