Oh I'm sure there was some hind kissing as well. Though from the sounds of it, Don wanted him in the band and made the first move. Who knows. But he's definitely going to kiss it now that he's got in so that it doesn't slip away!

I thought it started when Vince's management sent the Eagles a message that he was interested. Of course that didn't start it on a practical level, but would Don have thought of asking Vince if he hadn't done that?

Interesting. I have no problem believing that to be true. I thought I heard something like Don was impressed with Vince singing Heartache Tonight at the KCH and wanted him to join. But I can totally believe that he would put his own name in the hat. He's not near as humble as some make him out to be.

I don't remember which interview it was, but he said that he sent a message through his management, offering his services (not his exact words). I think he also said that he didn't do it seriously and wasn't expecting anything. Someone please correct me if my recollection is incorrect.
As for humbleness, I don't know Vince Gill, but IMO it's not difficult to act humble in front of strangers.

But this is "Don Henley's 'Eagles'" now, and he calls the shots.
In Don Henley's Eagles, Vince Gill gets treated with more respect than Timothy, whose solo career has been completely ignored.
In Don Henley's Eagles, real Eagles songs are shoved aside to give Don's buddy the opportunity to promote his solo career and maybe sell a few more records as a result of his "good fortune" to become an "Eagle."
In Don Henley's Eagles, Vince Gill is considered an acceptable substitute for Glenn Frey. And in the end, that is the real sticking point. However, it must be nice for Don to have "replacements" he can completely control.
Because in Don Henley's Eagles, obviously, he is the boss.

OMG! I haven't read any reviews and did not know this is happening! It makes me sick! And I've always liked Vince Gill! But this should not be happening!..............................Poor Timothy too!
It makes me really sad they have done this to the band I once loved.....I don't even know what else to say. :cry:
Re: For Those Saying Glenn Frey is Necessary to the Eagles; no Glenn, no legit Eagles
I like them doing a song for each city too. I would have liked it prior to Glenn's death as well. I think it is a clever idea whoever thought of it. I'm hoping that at the Sacremento show Timothy will get to sing his song "White Boy From Sacremento" but I doubt that will happen. So much has changed.............The absence of Glenn's leadership is definitely noticeable.

What really surprised me about the commercial for the Vince Gill concert is that I was wondering: Hasn't this guy built up a fan base of his own? So, is he totally dumping that fan base to be an "Eagle"? What does his fan base think?
Guess I really don't care. I was more shocked with the total alignment of his "new career" with that commercial.

I am not at all surprised at the family endorsement.
Re: For Those Saying Glenn Frey is Necessary to the Eagles; no Glenn, no legit Eagles
Yeah, she's down with it. I'm not surprised either. Lots of moms want their kid to have the easiest road possible when it comes to their career path.
