Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
I hurried home and I made it just in time. At 4:10:

I said a prayer also, and shed a few tears. I've been listening to his music all day whenever possible, and thinking about him.
We miss you, Glenn!
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
Well, I missed the exact time, but it was 3:59pm Central when I saw that first tweet retweeted onto my feed. Going back into my Twitter archive puts another pit in my stomach. :(
But I had a moment earlier today... I began listening to Eagles tunes for a little while and cried it out to My Man while hugging my dog, so that helped. My HOTE tour shirt was also the first shirt I pulled out of the drawer this morning, so that's a coincidence.
I've been thinking about him all day. Damn it, Roach, I miss you. But your music will always be there. :heart:
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
I lit a candle and played Desperado. He hasn't been far from my thoughts today.

Sometimes when we least expect it a song or a memory or an incident triggers it off again. I'm suggesting that some time this evening (I'd suggest the time you heard about it - for me it was 10:11 pm GMT) each one of us just stops and lights a candle or turns on a candle or light app on their phone. Or release a balloon. Or raise a tequila sunrise to him Or whatever you feel is appropriate. Even just stand still. And if you pray, say one for Glenn. It can be a gesture of unity with each other and solidarity with Glenns family and friends and band mates.
Well, it was yesterday for me. I thought about him all day but I'm afraid I did nothing like that. It didn't even occur to me to do so. :grouphug: to those who did.
Although, thinking about it, it's 9.00 am here on the 19th, which is the time I found out about it.
May he rest in peace & I am thinking of his family & friends, and bandmates.
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
I was busy with schoolwork, but afterwards, I thought of him and said a prayer. I just heard New Kid in Town on the radio, and I got a little teary-eyed. It still hurts almost as much as it did 6 months ago. :(
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
I have to guess the time I read the news by way of a Google alert. I had just gotten into bed & turned on my iPad to check my emails & The Border (of course). I don't have a very regular bed time & it seems to me that I turned in earlier that usual that night. I think about 10:30 is a good guess.
As I am experiencing an episode of my inner ear disorder I think that I better forgo the tequila sunrise that I mentioned in my earlier post. I think I will listen to the song instead & play some more of Glenn's music, light a candle & pray for his family & those close to him.
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
I had Glenn on my mind on and off all day today. He was the first thing that popped in my mind when I woke up this morning. I was really busy at work, but every time I had a lull of any kind I thought of him. Then, on my drive home, I put in the Strange Weather CD and listened to my favorite songs since the drive isn't long enough to play the entire thing. When I got home, I sat in my driveway and finished listening to POMPOY. As I took out the CD and was putting it back in it's case, I began tearing up. On one hand, it's hard to believe it's been 6 months and on the other hand, it seem like an eternity.

Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
I've been really busy yesterday due to a family emergency but I while I was waiting in the ER, I started to think about Glenn and couldn't believe that it was 6 months since his passing - doesn't seem like any time has passed since then but at least his is still in all our thoughts and will be for a long time to come.
ETA: My 90 yo aunt fell and broke her hip but she had a hip replacement operation this morning so hopefully she'll be up and running around again soon
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
L101, I hope everything works out ok.
I saw Glenn in person for the first time just last July in Little Rock, and yet I feel like I've lost an old friend. I look at the band photos, and there he is, still smiling at us, and it's difficult to realize that he is really gone. I guess that's just how it is. I'm in agreement with those who have reminded us all that Glenn lives on- in our hearts, and through his music.
