Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
@NKIT: Thanks for the heads-up about the book. The hubs just saw it on the shelf and got it for me. LOL. But I started looking at all his "sources" and all the anonymous interviews just kind of made me suspicious.
Yeah, when you devote 12 pages to one band member, 6 to one, and two to the other one, that's pretty telling. And I THOUGHT Glenn's dad -- the man who raised him -- came into the picture pretty early on. And there's also the bit about Randy getting married when he was 14. I didn't think any state would have allowed that, even with parental consent, by 1962 or so. So I'm reading with a wary eye. Heh.
But the part about the Teflon being used in the nasal surgery made me sit up and wonder. And if Linda R. had the same surgery -- with Teflon -- and now she has Parkinson's, well, it really does look like there may be a connection.
Hope you had a good Christmas!

Thanks Pippin I had a very nice Christmas. I just want to clarify that I meant that Linda R. had two nasal surgeries. I have no idea the ins and outs regarding them other than she had surgery twice(stated in book Hotel Calif.). I do know that both illness can also be inhert.
Randy was 17 when he married his first wife, not 14. Like I said, he has a lot of wrong info in the book. Most of the first edition of the book was written with anonymous sources. He does give a good background of the record industry in LA in the late 1960's and early 70's. Let me know what you think of it when you finish it.
