Little things that remind you of the Eagles (5/07 - 10/15)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I loved MV and watched every episode and every repeat. When we at my office found that Glenn was going to be on, there was a lot of 'water cooler' discussion. The guys who the week before all wanted to BE Glenn were suddenly saying derogatory things about him. Then the show aired and for days afterwards, all us women, at least fifteen of us, talked about and sighed over the show. There went at least a week where not much work got done thanks to Glenn Frey...

[Brooke]

I loved MV when it was on. Crockett and Tubbs were just so cool! I don't remember if I knew Glenn was even in an episode at the time. :shock: If I had known, you can bet I would have taped that episode for sure! I might just have to try to find one of those dvds too just to watch that episode! :hmm:

[Windeagle]

I had a really great "Go me!" day at work. Afterward, as I was striding across the parking lot in my favorite "cool" boots, all proud of myself, I started singing "Those Shoes" under my breath. It made me grin.

[sodascouts]

You go, girl! ;)

[EaglesKiwi]

While we were on holiday last weekend we found this place, and of course I thought of Bernie & the rest of the boys... Great ribs, and the frozen margarita wasn't bad either... 8)

[sodascouts]

Cool! I wonder if there's some affiliation?

[Koala]

How Cool!

[TimothyBFan]

WOW!! That's really cool!!!

[Brooke]

Love it!

[Glennsallnighter]

Brilliant!!

[Koala]

Yesterday at work 2 children were playing a game,at the end of the game said the winner kid to the other kid: "Take it Easy" !

[EaglesKiwi]

That's cute.

[Brooke]

Twice today I've heard the line "you are not alone" and it's reminded me of the Eagles!

This morning in an advertisement on tv for marriage counseling and then later in the soap The Young and the Restless. Couldn't help but think of the song each time! :lol:

[Windeagle]

It's not exactly a "little reminder", but thought I'd mention that I picked up the Soul Searchin' CD at my local used record store today and am making my way through it during my commuting time. So far I like it better than I thought I would. I'm finding that I like Glenn's album tracks better than his hits. My favorite so far is "Let's Pretend We're Still In Love". It's so sweet!

I also picked up No Fun Aloud on vinyl and will have to try it out on my new USB turntable. That will have to wait for the weekend.

Thanks to the Survivor players for sparking my desire to buy more Glenn music!

[sodascouts]

That's what I like to hear! I bet you will love No Fun Aloud even more than Soul Searchin'! Heck, soon you'll be able to vote in Survivor!

[TimothyBFan]

Last night on an old episode of Law & Order, one of the attorney's said he'd do something "in a New York minute", Larry & I both started singing it. :hilarious: I'm so proud when he does things like that. :thumbsup:

[Brooke]

You have trained him well, Willie! :thumbsup:

A lot of his album tracks are superb. I'm fond of LPWSIL; it isn't a song we talk about much but it's very catchy.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Good for you, WE! :applause:

I agree with Soda, you will probably like No Fun Aloud even better, but you never know. As we all know, even Eagles fans taste can vary alot. But, I do like the Soul Searchin' album. Although, it's not one of my personal favorites, Let's Pretend We're Still In Love is a fun, pleasant song. The bridge is my favorite part! :thumbsup:

[EaglesKiwi]

I am planning to plant some roses in my tiny front garden, and was researching varieties. I found this beauty searching for roses with exceptional fragrance...

http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k572/suzanne_eagleskiwi/sight_saverfryaffairrose.jpg

... and had to smile when I saw the varietal name is "Fryaffair". Well of COURSE I thought of Glenn, even if it's not spelled correctly.

[Brooke]

Beautiful!

It's amazing the lengths we go to to be reminded of our guys, isn't it?! :lol:

[Glennsallnighter]

I listened to SS album a lot just after I bought it a few years ago. There ARE quite a few gems on it. I love LPWSIL too, and CPOTF, as well as I Did It For Your Love. Maybe we should discuss this album a bit more when we've finished the survivor.

I was driving down the M6 in England on Monday heading back to Manchester when I noticed a car in the right hand lane registered S 555 PGW. I had a private giggle at that!

[sodascouts]

Just saw a report on the local news about why big acts don't come to Memphis and that we shouldn't expect them to anytime soon. This made me think of the Eagles... With dismay!

[EaglesKiwi]

So is there a good reason why big acts don't come to Memphis?

I can certainly relate!

[sodascouts]

The news report pointed out that although Memphis is one of the birthplaces of rock'n'roll, it all comes down to money. Memphis has relatively high tax rates and it's "barely a top 50 market" in terms of ticket sales. This is not a wealthy town; perhaps that's why Memphis is best known for its blues music, lol. It's simply not as big a payday as other places.

The report concluded with, "That is why Memphis, despite being known for its music, is passed over by the big acts again and again."

:sigh:

[Lisa]

Maybe it is farther off of the travel path?

:sigh:
I think New Zealand sometimes gets passed over because the cost of shipping everything over cuts too far into profits, even assuming the acts are going to Australia. :cry:

[sodascouts]

I hear ya. I really have no right to complain. They're still coming within a few hours' drive of me. I know that's often not the case for those outside of the States.

[Lisa]

You could have the right to complain. I don't think that bands are touring the same map that they toured when they were younger. Too much travel, and too much fatigue for the players. This does have its disappointments for the fans.

[TimothyBFan]

Just pulled up my FB and saw that one of my nieces mentioned me in her status update so I clicked to see it. Seems she's going to be in Vegas the same time as our boys and is trying to talk her hubby into tickets and said "come on Aunt Willie, you need to come too". Told her I will haunt her if she doesn't go and she will be taking $$ with her from me for some treasures.

As I type this, Already Gone just came on the radio!!! :thumbsup:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I'm watching the Buffalo Sabres crush my Penguins. The game is in Buffalo and Fallsview Casino is one of the sponsors. So every time the logo is on the screen, I think of Glenn. Doesn't really help me ignore the fact that we're losing 6-2.

[sodascouts]

It's a sign! She must go!

[sodascouts]

Aw. Hope your team pulls through!

Watching The Bodyguard last night, I saw the guy who played the lead in Arli$$ playing the host of the Oscars. Of course that made me think of Glenn's guest role on the series.

[Glennsallnighter]

Poor Penguins! Did they pull it off in the end? We are partial to penguins in this house (not cooked, I must clarify!)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

No, they did not pull it off!! They lost, 6-2.

[Windeagle]

Since I found Glenn Frey Online, I'll never hear Joni Mitchell's "Help Me" again without thinking of Glenn. The radio station I stream at work plays it quite often.

[Windeagle]

I heard on the radio this morning that Southwest will start offering nonstop flights from Manchester, NH to Las Vegas this spring. Of course, my first thought was, "Maybe I'll get to a show after all, even if the guys don't come East."

[Freypower]

This is really, really corny, but it did remind me of Glenn.

I subscribe to FourFourTwo, a football (soccer) magazine. The editorial headline in the March issue read 'the look of love is in Jose's eyes' (referring to Real Madrid manager, the rather suave Jose Mourinho) because the issue was coming out in time for Valentine's Day. I won't explain that further, but I was instantly transported back to Niagara Falls. :heart:

[Glennsallnighter]

No explanation needed FP. I understand entirely. This time 26 weeks ago.......:heart::heart::heart:

[Brooke]

Hey, whatever it takes! :lol:

[GlennLover]

That certainly reminded me of Niagara Falls as I was reading it, FP! :sigh:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'm the same way, WE. Joni sure knew what she was writing about at the time. These lyrics especially remind me of young Glenn ...

'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet talking ladies man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom.

Yeah, that first line struck me the other day when I remembered that Glenn sang backup on "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man."

[Glennsallnighter]

SOOOOOO true! Imagine knowing him back then? I'd say even kryptonite would not have brought him down!

[sodascouts]

Yeah, I don't think he was exactly ready for commitment then. ;)

I've been sitting up waiting for my Sugar to show
I've been listening to the sirens and the radio
He said he'd be over three hours ago
I've been waitin' for his car on the hill

Wonder how long Joni waited for his car on a hill (http://www.glennfreyonline.com/caronahill.htm) before she said "Screw this! I don't care how sexy and charming and talented he is - it's over!" :steviesmack: <--- we need one of these with Glenn's 70s hairdo lol

[TimothyBFan]

We have a toll road plaza close by that has a McDonald's, Dairy Queen a couple other shops in. A lot of the high school & college kids work there including one of my daughter's best friends. The McDonald's is having a McIdol contest for the next several weeks which my daughter's friend is one of the judges at. Katie went out last night to check it out. I received a text from her saying: "Some older guy is ROCKING 7 Bridges Road right now". :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

Love it!

[GlennLover]

This not only reminds me of the Eagles, but of everyone here on this message board! This is a restaurant in Portland, Me.

Very cool, GL. I wish we had one of those in my town. I have a feeling I'd be a regular. :wink: I remember when Soda and I were making plans for the Fallsview trip last August, we checked to see if there was an On the Border in Niagara Falls or Toronto. We thought it would be neat if the group went to one for lunch or dinner in honor of how we all came together, but we couldn't find one. :sad:

That would have been really cool, Dreamer. I'd be a regular if I lived near one too! ;) I didn't get a chance to eat at this one. I'll make a point of trying it next time.

[Glennsallnighter]

Love it Ann. Ok heres the deal, Glenn :heart: solo gig in Portland, and we all meet up in 'On The Border'

[Freypower]

It certainly makes a nice banner, Ann!

[GlennLover]

Thanks, FP

[Windeagle]

Really? So cool! Portland's only an hour away. Next time I'm up there I'll check it out.

[sodascouts]

I have one just a few miles down the street. Any Borderer who comes to Memphis gets a meal there, my treat!

[EaglesKiwi]

I just checked out the menu - some nice ideas on there.:-)

[Topkat]

How cool, We have our own restaurant! Wonder if we can cut in on the profits! :spin:

[GlennLover]

When I turned on the TV last night I caught the last few minutes of Mohammed Ali's 70th birthday bash in Las Vegas which, of course, had many celebrities in attendance. I wondered if Glenn was there, but I imagine we would have heard if he was. Anyway, it reminded me of the 2010 Celebrity Fight Night at which Glenn was present & performed.

Funny story that is Eagles related...

I am a big fan of a guitar amp company called 65amps - co-owned by Dan Boul and Peter Stroud. Peter Stroud is an amazing session guitarist who has played with the likes of Don Henley, Sheryl Crow, Pete Droge, Sarah McLaclan(sp), etc.

Last week they had a special webcast and Dan and Peter shared stories about how the amp company came about. They make low wattage quieter amps for pros that need quieter stage volume. Peter was having trouble getting his sound at a low volume when playing with Henley and Sheryl and so they eventually came out with 65 Amps.

But they were sharing road stories and Dan brought up a time when Peter was on tour with Don and they were playing at Staples Center in LA. The night before the gig Peter got a call that the Eagles would be joining Don onstage and Peter needed to learn more Eagles songs and if Dan had any records to bring over for Peter to study. Anyway, the day of the gig the whole band showed up minus Don Felder, who Peter had to learn the parts of for the songs they were playing. This was pre-HFO too. This was the "sneak preview" and a surprise thing and the day of the gig in rehearsals Peter made a mistake in a solo of the song.

Right before the gig, Henley was passing Peter in a golf cart and said and I quote "Don't f**k up" (referring to Peter's mistake in soundcheck) and was laughing. Peter said it was hilarious and stressful at the same time. Anyway, the whole band went onstage and the first song was ICTYW and Glenn was sitting behind Peter and Peter was nervous because Glenn played the original part and he had to play the solo that Glenn played on the recording.

Anyway, he played it and the rest of the songs perfectly according to Dan and it was a great night.

But that was pre-HFO tour and one of the first times the band played together (although without Felder) onstage.

Not sure if Soda or anyone knew about this.

Here is the recorded webcast. Eagles/Henley talk starts at 35:45 in.

Interesting story.

I do have a 'reminder' though this won't mean much to anyone outside the UK. On the latest episode of Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson was driving the latest Maserati and said 'Joe Walsh was wrong. MY Maserati goes to 187'! :pimp:

We're big Top Gear fans too. :bye:

[sodascouts]

Today I went to do an evaluation on a faculty member at an inner city school. It happened to be a couple miles from Beale Street, so I thought I'd have lunch there. What was the road that I took from the high school to Beale Street? Why, it was LINDEN road! Hello, Don Henley reminder.

Hey, what do you guys think of me making separate threads for each Eagle regarding this topic, since there is now one for Glenn? If we don't do that, i'll merge Glenn's into this, I think. Gotta be fair. ;)

[WalshFan88]

Fine by me! :)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

To me, it is simplier just to have this one topic like we had before. If we have multiple topics, I can envision the moderators having to regularly move posts between the threads.

[GlennLover]

Whatever makes the least work for the Moderators is OK with me.

[sodascouts]

I'll probably merge the two then.

At any rate, I had a rather unusual "reminder" today!

As I said in another thread, I am watching a "Monkees Marathon" and those of you familiar with the show know that occasionally they Monkees did interview segments where they were asked various random questions. Mike Nesmith got asked a question about things he "dug" and he said there was a "thing going around where people were 'digging' ugly things because "everybody digs beautiful things but it takes special talent to dig ugly things." He said this trend was started by Hearts and Flowers.... a group Bernie Leadon was in at the time!

So Mike was trying to copy something Bernie's band started! Cool, eh?

[Brooke]

Our girls and boys basketball teams played The Meadville Eagles in the sectional games last night. Couldn't help but be reminded of my favorite band!

[Tori]

My mom's flying to Boston on Sunday, and she has her itinerary on the fridge. I was looking at it today and noticed the abbreviation for the Boston airport was BOS, and immediately thought of Boys of Summer.

[Windeagle]

I was chatting about music with one of my co-workers today and I mentioned that if The Eagles play anywhere nearby, expect me to take vacation time.

"Oh, I saw them in NJ in 1974. They were good," he said, casual as you please. I think I shocked him when I immediately turned from level-headed accountant to gasping and giggly fangirl.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I'm listening to my Penguins playing the Florida Panthers (tied score at the moment), but this reminds me of the Eagles because our guys sponsored the Panthers training camp last season.

[zeldabjr]

my sister and I were talking about getting some new spring clothes. She said she needed some new tops and that she loves "henleys"... I said I do too!

[zeldabjr]

ooo a Penguin fan... what guys sponsored the Panthers last season?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

ooo a Penguin fan... what guys sponsored the Panthers last season?

The Eagles sponsored them, and it was their training camp only. They were playing in south Florida during that stretch and it was a very odd pairing of sponsor and team.

And yes, I'm very much a Penguin fan. Should I assume you're a Sabres fan?

[zeldabjr]

Hi Yes you may assume I"m a Sabre fan. I think that does sound odd about them sponsoring the Panthers camp. Do you know if any of them are hockey fans?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Hi Yes you may assume I"m a Sabre fan. I think that does sound odd about them sponsoring the Panthers camp. Do you know if any of them are hockey fans?

Glenn is from Hockeytown USA (Detroit) and there are pics of him on this board in full hockey gear for a practice, I think with Chicago, but I can't remember. There are several of him with a Maple Leafs shirt on (hurts my head to think about it), but they are all very long ago so I have no idea if he still follows hockey. The others, I don't know.

Hockey is a very under appreciated sport, and my love of all things Penguins is only equaled by my love of all things Steelers.

[sodascouts]

She said she needed some new tops and that she loves "henleys"... I said I do too!

lol! Me too!

As for Glenn's ardent love of hockey, check this thread out:

https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=234

You're right that he hasn't spoken of it much since, although in an interview last year he said he "killed hockey in Cleveland" because, when approached, he turned down the opportunity to buy into the team and it went bankrupt.

[Troubadour]

I am watching The Record on BBC Parliament, and the Home Office Minister, Lord Henley, is currently speaking.

[Victim of Love]

Have had company for the past several days...Mom and Bruce came for my Maddie's birthday over the weekend. Weather here has been unseasonably warm (60's and 70's) so they decided to head down to Hill City on Saturday. Tons of great little shops down there. They had lunch at the most popular spot and decided to buy coffee mugs from the restaurant. So now I can have my morning coffee everyday with the Eagles....

Thanks, GL. Was drinking my morning joe today and hearing phrases like "you been out ridin' fences" and "oh, you ain't gettin' no younger". I kept looking over my shoulder...much to my chagrin Don was NOT standing there!

[sodascouts]

Today I went to the Memphis Rock and Soul Museum. I took the tour, and there were several Eagles moments!

During the tour, many jukeboxes were displayed, all the way from 1929 to 1979. All of them were real and had records and labels. I took a look at the 1979 one and an Eagles single - Please Come Home for Christmas/Funky New Year - was one of the selections!

Secondly, in the list of artists who had recorded in Memphis, Joe Walsh's name appeared. That was hardly surprising, as in the late 80s he hung out in Memphis all the time and the cover of his album Got Any Gum is a photo of the Memphian Theater (http://www.joewalshonline.com/images/gotanygumcover.jpg). Still, it was cool to see.

The biggest surprise, however, was a showcase of a certain brand of guitar. There were pictures of several musicians playing the brand of guitar. What should I see in the case but this very photo:

http://www.glennfreyonline.com/images/GFreyGuitarWorkshop.jpg

I think I might have startled passerby with my squeal of delight. ;)

[WalshFan88]

Very cool!! Although they got Glenn's name wrong. Glen Frye. :rofl: Could it be any more misspelled?! LOL.

Those are cool guitars too. Les Paul style body shape with Telecaster hardware and a bolt on neck with a rosewood fretboard.

[lizzyplays]

Me three! It's like a total lack of respect for the subject matter.

[sodascouts]

It's just sloppy and unprofessional. I'm more contemptuous of it than I am offended by it.

Like Bernie Leadon, Glenn also has to endure his last name being mispronounced a great deal, most typically by British interviewers who haven't done their homework. In the UK, the surname "Frey" rhymes with "Grey." It's only those who've bothered to do their research that know Glenn's surname is pronounced "Fry" - which is also the case for the vast majority of Americans with the surname.

But on the other hand, poor Ralph Fiennes has spent over two decades telling American interviewers to pronounce his name like "Rafe Fines" - and many still haven't learned!

[Lyn&Tim]

I am amazed but I just bought a Beach House down by the Ocean near the Great Ocean Road,in a gorgeous place called Airey's Inlet.
Apart from it being a beautiful special place, at the end of the road where the Beach is, I find none other than EAGLE ROCK PARADE.
IT IS SUCH A MAGIC PLACE, WE ARE JUST SHIFTING IN THE FURNITURE NOW, JUST THE PLACE TO LISTEN TO A BIT OF MAGICAL MUSIC.
You cannot get any closer to the beach than Eagle Rock Parade,I am going down there this week for my first time.
It is just so fitting, as i love the Eagles. I loved them when i was young, now they are even better, some of us get better with age, and they certainly have, even though my favourite is Timothy.A bit shy,and humble, i like that!!!
Romantic, give me every time!!!!!!!

I have to ask about the meaning of this...I am not up on my Glenn. thanks

[Glennsallnighter]

Well Zelda, Glenn :heart: is from Detroit, and often makes that comment at some stage during a gig. I'll leave it to your imagination what the other half of the word is!

[zeldabjr]

Oh, I get it... I'm a little dense at times.:):brickwall:

[sodascouts]

I'm watching Elvis Presley's Blue Hawaii and one of the MANY tunes he sang (specifically, "Rock-a-Hula Baby") has the lyric "All she wants to do is dance." Need I say more? ;)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Soda - Love that the picture of Glenn is hanging in the Memphis Rock and Soul Museum, but I agree with you that it appears very unprofessional that his name is misspelled. Maybe you should contact the museum and let them know about. If they are true professionals, I think they would appreciate you letting them know and take measure to quickly get it corrected.

And I had to laugh about the song in Blue Hawaii reminding you of ASWTDID. I've seen the movie several times, but definitely never noticed that. :wink:

And finally, I went to Myrtle Beach over the weekend to my niece's cheerleading competition. They have a souvenir beach shop chain down there named, of all things .... Eagles. I must have seen ten of the shops within a two mile radius. :partytime:

[Glennsallnighter]

Cool Dreamer! You'd HAVE to buy something there! Even just for the bag!

For the record, over here most people pronounce Glenn :heart:'s name as Frey (pronounced 'Fray') Laura has been known to call out 'Frey' at Radio DJs who make this mistake as well! I'm doing my best but its hard work trying to convert a population of 4 million.

However he does have a good following here! I'm hoping it will translate into enough album sales to make him think its worth touring here in the Autumn. (Yeah. Right)

I was browsing the Hard Rock website and came across the 'Leather and Lace' bracelet. It reminded me of Don H.

This was my Groupon for today:

Up to 65% Off at Eagle Ridge Golf Club


I'm sure that I have Google key words to thank for that.

I was in Wally World yesterday and in the the food section there was this huge display called "On the Border" I think it was for tortilla chips. I just started laughing and the people near me probably thought I was nuts.

My daughter's boyfriend is in the Advanced Guitar Ensemble at school. Tonight she reported that they're currently learning "Hotel California". I can't wait to hear it! It sounds like her boyfriend has Glenn's part.

[sodascouts]

Cool!

I was reminded of Don today.

April 4 is the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's death, and it occurred in Memphis. The city took the opportunity to honor him by renaming one of the streets "Martin Luther King Avenue" today.

The street's former name? Linden.

[Glennsallnighter]

Walking down the shopping mall yesterday Laura and I came across this sign advertising a new movie.......

of course we both started humming the tune!

Isn't it great (if a trifle disconcerting) when our kids can share our enthusiasm? We were in the car today when the acoustic version of Hotel California came on - Holly was listening to the introduction and said, "Is this Hotel California?" I was so proud - her Dad just rolled his eyes.

[Glennsallnighter]

Sound exactly like what goes on in our car EK! Including the eye rolling. I remember documenting about 4years ago we were away. It was nearly midnight and Laura would not go to sleep. Hubby said 'Laura if you don't settle and go to sleep theres no Glenn Frey music on the car radio tomorrow'

[sodascouts]

lol! That's terrific!

Saw this in the Bruce Springsteen exhibit at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia over the weekend.

[sodascouts]

Cool!

[Victim of Love]

Kiwi, On The Border tortilla chips are the only brand I buy! Aside from the image it conjurs of our favorite band, they're danged good.

On a slightly different note, I just finished reading a book called 'a soft place to land' by Susan Rebecca White. The main character, Ruthie, is talking about one of her English class, says they are reading the Odyssey, and goes on to say the teacher starts talking about 'siren songs'. As the discussion evolves the students ask the teacher to sing them a siren song. As Ruthie describes it....


"Mr. Roman stepped out from behind the podium where he had been lecturing, tucked his hands into the pockets of his chinos, fixed his gaze somewhere above the girls, and began singing in a clear, unwavering voice about a desperado who needed to come to his senses."

"He was singing something about the queen of diamonds, the queen of hearts."

"Mr. Ronan had (finally) reached the apex of the song, the repeated line, sung with gusto, demanding that the desperado accept love."
I nearly fell off the chair laughing! But it was the LAST thing I expect to see in this book.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Went out to dinner with friends and the music system played Take It Easy. Sung by Jackson Browne. I thought it sounded like him, but I had to run it by Shazam to make sure!

[TimothyBFan]

I reminded myself of the Eagles yesterday. I was having a conversation about some not so pleasant stuff and I made a comment that "most of us are sad at times". Once I said it, it hit me where I had heard that before. :laugh:

[Troubadour]

I have booked my flights to Oklahoma for May, and this time I have to go with a different airline (the cheapest!) so, instead of stopping in Dallas, I have to stop in Detroit both ways! I think you can guess which particular Eagle I thought of...

[Prettymaid]

Ah, Detroit, where mother is half a word...

[sodascouts]

Anything that makes you think of Glenn is a good thing, lol.

I thought you were going to say that booking the trip made you think of Joe!

[Troubadour]

Well, yes - I suppose it does! :rockon:

[Perfect Little Sister]

Driving to work I noticed the license plate in front of me had the letters GLF in the middle just as the opening strains of Take It Easy came on the radio. lol

[GlennLover]

How cool is that?

[sodascouts]

I love it when stuff like that happens!

[Glennsallnighter]

Love that one PLS!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

At dinner last evening, The Look of Love came on the music system. Not sure who sang it, it was a guy, and there was too much background noise for Shazam to figure it out. But it made me smile.

[Glennsallnighter]

Dusty Springfield does a good version of it which they play on my radio from time to time. I wonder will they play anything from After Hours when it's released. If they don't mention it I think I will send in a copy to one or two of the DJ's that play his other stuff.

[GlennLover]

Good idea, GA!

[zeldabjr]

I cracked up at this today...I was at the library and saw a book which was two novels in one book by Colleen McCullough (she wrote The Thorn Birds). The first novel is called "Tim" and the second novel is "An Indecent Obsession"...People were looking at me strangely because I started laughing and couldn't stop...I had to leave the library...:hilarious:

I tried listening to Springfield's version & I thought her voice was far too breathy for it. I feel I've heard the definitive version. :partytime:

[GlennLover]

I feel I've heard the definitive version. :partytime:

I certainly agree with you on that, FP! :nod:

Thats what I texted back to Lou when she texted me to tell me she'd be going via Detroit!

Zelda! I love it! :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

[Glennsallnighter]

So have I! :wink: Glenn:heart: sounds much better on it. I merely mentioned Dusty Springfield because that is the version I hear on the radio.

[GlennLover]

So have I! :wink: Glenn:heart: sounds much better on it. I merely mentioned Dusty Springfield because that is the version I hear on the radio.

Glenn did mention that she sang this song.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Diana Krall has a great version, and the one I was most familiar with. What I've heard of Glenn's surpasses it, as I knew it would.

[sodascouts]

I tried listening to Springfield's version & I thought her voice was far too breathy for it. I feel I've heard the definitive version. :partytime:

Same here. The Springfield version was such a letdown after hearing Glenn's version.

[GlennLover]

I was familiar with Dusty Springfield's version long before I heard Glenn sing it.

[Windeagle]

I was looking something up on Google maps yesterday and for some reason, the program skipped out and went someplace completely different. What showed up was a town called Coffeyville. Pretty appropriate for Desperado week, I think.

[Troubadour]

LOL, Zelda! I love little moments like that, where you can't help but smile/laugh uncontrollably. Reminders of our boys are everywhere!

[Glennsallnighter]

Brilliant WE!

[sodascouts]

Those kind of coincidences are such fun!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

This week I have been in all day meetings every day with two more days to go. They have been pretty awful, but today I did have a small bright moment when one of my team members said we needed to "take it easy because we were going to have to take this to the limit". He didn't realize what he said until I thanked him for the Eagles moment.

I was sent a survey by Hard Rock as I am on their mailing list. They want to release a new fragrance. One of the suggestions they wanted people to vote on for the name was 'The Heat Is On'

I did not read the other options before I voted!

I was sent a survey by Hard Rock as I am on their mailing list. They want to release a new fragrance. One of the suggestions they wanted people to vote on for the name was 'The Heat Is On'

I did not read the other options before I voted!

Love it, GA! :D

Some Glenn fans (Dreamer is one) refer to him as 'Sugar'; I have to say I'm not one of them.

[sodascouts]

It's a term of endearment many of us use and have used for years; however, FP has expressed her disapproval of it more than once. :lol: I use it only occasionally when feeling especially affectionate, but I think it quite suits him. ;)

[Freypower]

That's it you see; I don't think it suits him at all because it's too 'sickly-sweet'. He uses it himself in True Love, of course. Give me 'honey' any day, which he uses in River Of Dreams. I suppose 'honey' is also sickly-sweet but to me it sounds less cloying.

But my own term which I use occasionally is 'Sweetie' and probably the same objections can be raised about that. I tend to use it in a humorous manner to myself; I don't post it on the board. Anyway there it is now for all to know about. :blush: :headshake:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I don't generally refer to him as Sugar, either. But because many here do, when I heard the song I thought of him! I have thought of him as Sweetie, but mostly I think of him as Handsome. For obvious reasons.

[TimothyBFan]

I follow Pete Lincoln, the lead singer of Sweet, on FB... this was his status this morning.


Sitting in Newcastle airport. Flight delayed. Will miss my connection in Amsterdam and won't get to Frankfurt until this evening . . . hopefully in time for the gig tonight . . . life in the fast lane eh? :thumbsup:

[Glennsallnighter]

I sometimes refer to him as 'Sunshine' Coz when I open my locker in the mornings every day his smiling face beams out at me. So I've gotten into the habit of saying 'Hiya Sunshine'. Pathetic..... but it works for me!

Saw this in a shoe shop yesterday...

Oh, How appropriate, GA! And yes, Glenn does bring sunshine into our lives! I have always liked, GH's name for him - Glennie Bear! :sigh: :inlove:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - just to be clear I certainly didn't coin the phrase, so I don't want to be singled out or get undue credit for it. :wink:

To me, it's splitting hairs to quibble over Sugar, Honey, Sweetie, Glennie Bear, or any of the other terms of endearment mentioned. I think any and all apply to this HS&G man. It may be good for us to do a sample testing - I'll bet any of them would make him giggle (or run). :lol:

My personal opinion is that if anybody called him 'Glennie Bear' he would run just as far as he could run. :hilarious:

Newcastle Airport.... been there, done that.

I had a reminder. We watched the Will Smith film I Am Legend & the phrase 'you are not alone' was said several times including at the very end.

Just an announcement: I'm merging the "Little Things that Remind You of Glenn" thread with the "Little Things that Remind You of the Eagles" thread for the sake of consistency (none of the other Eagles have single threads about this). Now, carry on! :)

This reminds me of Glenn. Another song I'm listening to. Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top.

Yesterday in a meeting at work, it was noted that an event would take place on June 5. My first thought was, "Hey, that's Analog Man Day." Didn't say it out loud, of course.

It also happened a couple days earlier when my sister-in-law asked if we could give her a ride someplace on May 8 - "After Hours Day."

I went into my Twitter account yesterday & I noticed that a girl is following me. She's from a band called The SHEAGLES, the first all girl Eagles tribute band. I looked them up on YouTube!!! Actually,,they weren't bad! LOL
Thought that was funny because I don't really tweet that much, but she knows I'm an Eagles fan! :-?

[Glennhoney]

Funny...we were visiting with my brother in law and his wife last weekend...and he asks me.."so what are the Eagles up to this year?"....I guess I'm the "expert" on the subject...lol

Heartbeat City by The Cars---my favorite of their albums!!! Very cool!!!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I couldn't take a pic of the entire wall, there wasn't a good angle.

[Glennsallnighter]

Very cool indeed VA! I saw the NFA album cover up in Captain Americas a few weeks ago. I tried to take a pic but between the angle, the light and the fact that I just had my iphone it didn't happen! I'll be in again and I'll bring a 'proper' camera.

[whitcap]

I just went to Amazon to track my copy of After Hours and saw that it shipped from Coffeyville! What a coincidence that the album shipped from a city that was mentioned in an Eagles song.

This morning at church, the pastor opened his sermon with playing a little of Randy Newman's 'You've Got a Friend In Me', then read the lyrics to the song. Since Glenn has mentioned several times that he likes Randy Newman's songs, I thought of him.

[Windeagle]

On Friday night, my kids' charter school had their annual fundraiser auction. The guidance counselor showed up in black and white shoes just like Glenn's. I don't think I've ever seen shoes like that in "real life".

Yesterday, I was on the train & this tall handsome guy got on & I swear he looked just like Don Henley, like from the HFO era, the same hair & all. I was staring at him, he was just striking looking! Just like Don! I put on the Eagles on my Ipod during the ride! lol

Oooooh. Lovely Lizzy. Bet that woke you up!

On the flight back to Memphis last night, I grabbed an in-flight magazine and thumbed through it. There was a cute article about collectors of old "nerd cars" from the seventies and the writer described how he rode one of these collector's fully restored AMC Pacer through town. He said almost every man in a certain age bracket who saw him go by gasped in delight despite the car's infamy when it came out, lol. Now, the good part: while he did so, he listened to an old 8-track cassette of Hotel California in the car's 8-track player. He said the quality of the cassette was so bad that it sounded like the Eagles had recorded the album underwater. :lol:

[Glennsallnighter]

That's brilliant Soda!

This morning on the radio the dj was telling about their noon hour contest. The ninth caller when they heard Boys of Summer playing would win a free lunch somewhere. I could give it a try, but I never go to that town for lunch, too far.

Reminded me of Don, of course!

[zeldabjr]

I was having a conversation today with someone I met just recently...and she used the phrase "get over it" eight times(I counted)...i was just giggling to myself the entire time!:laugh:

I was surfing the tube last night and came upon the MusiCares concert for Neil Young. I watched some of it and was wishing it was the one for Don Henley!

I do like NY too though!

just read a line in a book about raven hair and ruby-red lips...seems to remind me of a song I've heard before!

[zeldabjr]

I was at my great niece's birthday party this evening... my niece and her family took a driving trip across the country earlier this spring...I was looking at their photo albums...I saw one pic and asked where it was taken...My niece's husband said "on a corner in Winslow Arizona"...I almost died...he said yeah we were singing the song when we were there...needless to say I was very jealous.

[Brooke]

Very cool family there, zelda! They actually knew about that corner! :cool:

[Glennsallnighter]

Lol Zelda! Reminds me of the time when Lou and Jess were 'stranded on a corn in Winslow Arizona'! I was jealous i wasn't with them!

[zeldabjr]

Very cool family there, zelda! They actually knew about that corner! :cool:

I've taught them the important things in life!!:rofl:

[TimothyBFan]

Lol Zelda! Reminds me of the time when Lou and Jess were 'stranded on a corn in Winslow Arizona'! I was jealous i wasn't with them!
And the sign was down because of construction. :rofl: That was funny---they had checked in but couldn't leave.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That story with Jess and Lou is funny now, but IIRC, I don't think they were laughing at the time. Those girls were on a mission to get to the San Jose Eagles show and they weren't interested in getting sidetracked. :lol:

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes! I remember getting a few panic texts from Lou at the time. It was a real case of 'alls well that ends well'
And poor Lou had also gotten one of the first planes in a week out of England to get there in the first place after the volcanic ash grounded all planes! Her nerves must have been in shreds by then. I know mine would have been!

[TimothyBFan]

And didn't they try to leave only to be confronted by a dust storm or something so ended up staying an extra day? I remember those panic text also. Somewhere there's a picture of them kneeling by the sign that is laying on the ground. Once they made it to San Jose, there were some gorgeous pictures taken and quite a few other Borderers there also, weren't there? :thumbsup:

[GlennLover]

There was an article on the front page of yesterday's newspaper about the forecast that this would be a warmer than usual summer this year. Of course the title was "The Heat Is On"! Caught my eye right away! :)

[TimothyBFan]

I was reminded of the Eagles (sorta) Saturday night at the Ted Nugent concert and almost had to have a smackdown because the guy was obviously a moron!!!!

The guy in front of us was showing off his new Nugent tshirt he bought and I asked politely how much they were selling for. He told me $40.00. I turned to hubby and said, that's more than I paid for my Eagles shirts. The guy turned to me and said, (and I still can't believe he said this), "well Ted Nugent is probably a bit better known than the Eagles." :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilar ious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: I didn't miss a beat and laughing said, "and that's why he's playing the Laporte County Fair while the Eagles are filling stadiums." Oops!!!!!!!! Then the moron looked at my hubby's Beatles shirt and said "the Beatles don't deserve to be in the same arena as Ted Nugent". :shock: Seriously, you drunken moron? Poor hubby thought he was going to have to bail my behind out of jail but I didn't want to waste my time on the redneck idiot! Jeez!!!!

I'll go to the concerts thread and give a few more details about the concert (or as I like to call it--- the white supremacist rally). :fear:

[Troubadour]

Eek! I don't think I'd have got on very well at that show. LOL.

[Brooke]

Oh my gosh! What a moron, TBF! He must have been living 'out in the wild' with Uncle Ted! :hilarious:

[sodascouts]

LOL! Either that or he doesn't share Nugent's stand on substance abuse!

[Topkat]

Eek! I don't think I'd have got on very well at that show. LOL.

Me either.

[Troubadour]

The detective in The Killing is named Sarah Linden, which obviously reminds me of Don's hometown!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

:lol: Troub - it doesn't take much for us does it?

And as far as that Ted Nugent concert, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lasted either. Fortunately, I've never been a fan of the man or his music, so there's no temptation for me to attend one of his shows (or rally). Good on you Willie for showing such restraint! :thumbsup:

[Troubadour]

I posted this ages ago but I just came across it in my Photobucket account and it made me laugh. Our deputy manager, a Joe/Eagles fan, wrote this on the white board in the office one day (presumably aimed at some staff who can't stop bitching and moaning!) I think I was the only one who knew where it came from. :lol:

There is a local band called The Allnighters--no they do not play Glenn covers but play blues music, but every time I hear that they are playing some where, I'm sure you can guess who I think of.

[Troubadour]

'Allnighter' has so many different connotations...it can mean sexual, drunken, or hitting the books! Lol!

While reading the bio of Rob Lowe, (quite interesting, BTW) he writes about a script he received for the show "The West Wing".
Apparently this was one of Rob's favorite episodes from Season 2, called, "Someone's Going to Emergency, Someone's Going to Jail". In this episode Rob had a lead role, and was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
Well, that's a line right from Don Henley's, New York Minute, so I immediately recognized the line...
Apparently, every script for tv has a tile and they took a line from Don's song!....

Oh wait, now maybe Don will ask for his royalty check! LOL

[WalshFan88]

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but it definitely reminded me of the Eagles!

My parents and I called my dad's mother in Ohio tonight as it was her birthday and she always asks me to play (and sing, quite badly :hilarious:) "Take It To The Limit". I forgot that until she asked me tonight. So I had to go grab an acoustic and play it! :D For not having played it in AGES I did okay on the playing part. I play it in Glenn's key of "G" as I cannot sing it in Randy's key. She isn't a huge Eagles fan but loves that song. She always said it was a Beatles song until I corrected her and she rembered.

Well - that was probably the best possible birthday gift that you could have given her, Austin. As all of us here know, nothing beats the gift of great music - and it's just icing on the cake if it happens to be the Eagles. :thumbsup:

I agree! :)

[Tiffanny Twisted]

ok, I agree with Dreamer..nothing beats the gift of music especially when its a fav eagles song and done by her realitive,

Thats the best concert anybody could have:birthday:

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but it definitely reminded me of the Eagles!

My parents and I called my dad's mother in Ohio tonight as it was her birthday and she always asks me to play (and sing, quite badly :hilarious:) "Take It To The Limit". I forgot that until she asked me tonight. So I had to go grab an acoustic and play it! :D For not having played it in AGES I did okay on the playing part. I play it in Glenn's key of "G" as I cannot sing it in Randy's key. She isn't a huge Eagles fan but loves that song. She always said it was a Beatles song until I corrected her and she rembered. She's in her 70s and is bedridden with severe osteoarthritis and starts of dementia.

I think this is about the sweetest thing I've ever heard, Austin...

[sodascouts]

Aw, how sweet!

[Troubadour]

Aw, that is very touching, Austin.

[Brooke]

Very sweet Austin!

[Prettymaid]

I was at my sister's house tonight fell in love with the nail polish she had on...it was a really pretty merlot red so I asked her what it was...she showed me the bottle and I turned the bottle over to see the color...it was called "Allnighter"...I just grinned and thought oh I won't have any trouble remembering that name!

[Brooke]

Zelda, you didn't explain that grin? :hilarious:

I was finally uploading my photos from my UK Trip to photobucket and I came across these I took at Shakespeare's birthplace (located on Henley Street):

Cool! I wonder where Don's family is from originally?

[Brooke]

Cool!

[zeldabjr]

[WalshFan88]

Very cool!!

Cool! I wonder where Don's family is from originally?

According to this site (http://www.houseofnames.com/henley-family-crest), the name "Henley" is English and derives from the dominant family who lived in a town called Henley in ancient Anglo-Saxon times. Eventually this family became "Lords of the Manor of Henley" in Somerset and produced barons and earls, who dropped it down to just "Baron Henley" etc.

As the family expanded, branches moved away and formed towns in England such as Henley-on-Thames where the Henley Royal Regatta is held, and Henley-in-Arden (which happens to be on the other end of the Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon, and is from whence the street derived its name).

So, our Don Henley descends (admittedly distantly) from English nobility. Not bad!

[Troubadour]

I have heard him mention once in an interview that "The Henleys came from England." I'd be more than willing to have him back! ;) Love your pictures, Soda!

[Prettymaid]

Hard to believe a good ol' boy from Texas has family who originates from England!

[Freypower]

You can see my photo of the Birthplace on Facebook. I didn't take photos of the Henley St signs when I was there in 2010. We weren't there very long. I love the place & try to go there whenever I return to England.

[Troubadour]

FP, may I say, I love your sig!

[GlennLover]

LOL, I didn't realize that I have been on Henley St.

I was just doing a crossword puzzle & one of the clues was The Heat _ _. It didn't take me long to fill in that one!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

:hmm: That one's got me stumped, GL! :lie: :wink:

[Grey Sadler]

I pulled a catalog out of a drawer at work...from a company called Frey Scientific...I think I giggled through the rest of my planning period about it :nahnah:
