I have no idea why you are arguing about this. Henley swept awards, sold crap tons of records and would have never got back with the Eagles unless he was got an offer he couldn't refuse. All this is indisputable.
The fact that Frey was a huge talent that wrote and sang some of the best songs in history (in my opinion) is not being argued.
With you it is all or nothing right?
This message board for many at this time is a source of solace and community as they grieve for Glenn and the band. FP asked you politely for respect and sensitivity during this difficult period; not a unreasonable request IMO.

He liked being part of a band, so I certainly wouldn't say he didn't need Glenn. I think he liked the band rather than being a solo act.
I'll buy that. I have not seen it in years but when Hell Freezes Over aired I remember Henley saying they would have been crazy to turn down that much money. NOT A QUOTE

I think you are being way too sensitive. Yes it was sad but we lose stars every week it seems. It will bum me out when I hear take it easy but that is all it really is, Anything beyond that is just a bit much right? I hope I am not reading this right that your life has changed due to this?

Agree, like a few weeks ago when Bowie died. But it is still just another star that lived too hard ad flamed out early. Sad but life is for the living and I answered the OP

Your opinion. Not one that I (or obviously some others) share. Let's just agree to disagree and let it go.

Honestly???????? Why would you cut someone down for grieving? None of us knew him personally, of course we didn't, but that doesn't mean our grief is unwarranted. We are most certainly not being "sensitive". Our lives have changed, my friend, and if yours hasn't, congratulations - but have a shred of respect for the fact that this affects us a lot.

How cold can you be? is it too much to ask for you to be sensitive to others in their time of grief.
Re: So are they breaking up?!
Well, I'm afraid I had to ban our dear friend BSinAustin after he sent me a nasty PM in reply to me sending him a warning about his behavior. Somehow I don't think anyone here will be too broken up about it, but I wanted to let you know you needn't reply to him anymore.

BS, indeed.
