Re: Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.
Jack Tempchin has just reposted a link to an interview he did last year. Of course, I read it again and one thing caught me because it is so different from the common perception of Mr Frey.
Quote:
I also think [choosing that song]is a measure of Glenn as a guy; others would want to write their own songs. I notice this over and over – the guys with true greatness are always very, very generous with everybody else. Others don’t do that because they can’t get past themselves….

So very true, UTW. Of course, the public that judges famous private people usually doesn't have a clue about the person, good or bad - so I just take them with a grain of salt anyway.
Re: Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.
Latest blog is on Glenn. Thought I would post it now as it's still his birthday in the US.

Re: Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.
OK, I'm a little slow the last two days, but I finally figured out where the recent pictures of Glenn are coming from. They are from the annual Rawlings Gold Glove Award ceremony on Friday night at The Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.
Here is an article on the event, though it doesn't mention Glenn...

Here are the pics I posted in Fever:

If I find more pics or more information, I'll be sure to post it!

Re: Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.
The article I posted above says the evening's entertainment was Jay Leno, but I've seen tweets of people 'waiting for Glenn Frey'. More info may come forwrad later....I've seen tweets that the party was still going at 5am!

As for humour, one of my favourites is this from a 1975 interview with Cameron Crowe:
Quote:
The Eagles return from a record crowd at the Chicago Stadium to find their Holiday Inn’s front desk covered with phone messages, telegrams and flowers. With One of These Nights in its fifth week at the top of Billboard‘s LP chart, the group has just won in Best Song (“Best of My Love”) and Best Group (over Led Zeppelin, Elton John and the Rolling Stones) categories of the nationally televised Rock Awards. On the phone upstairs with Glenn Frey is Joe Walsh, who accepted the awards for them, and, in the process, kissed presenter Raquel Welch.
“You really kissed her,” Glenn is demanding, eyes wide. “Did you ask her about the silicone?” He spots the writer going for his notebook. “Naw, naw, naw. Don’t use that. That’s a cruel remark. Besides, we can’t be roguish underdogs anymore.” Frey grins and flips a cigarette into his mouth. “We have to be gracious winners.”
Re: Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.
Thanks for the pics, VA. Glenn seems to be everywhere in New York these days. Keep on rockin' it, Sugar. I'm curious to find out if he actually did perform at that event. I'd bet he did ... why else would he have been there :?:
And SS - I enjoyed reading your blog, too. Good job of capturing the essence of the man. And he really does have a great sense of humor. I was able to witness it firsthand at Pebble Beach.
Re: Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.
OMG! Glenn :heart: looking wonderful in those pics. He does NOT look like is is just turned 66. I guess it was a bit of a birthday party for him. I notice 2 different outfits. Does that suggest one pre and one post performance......? Only speculating....
Re: Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.
It was at a baseball event, the Gold Glove Awards, so it definitely wasn't about his birthday. Those who won the award were listed in the article (none were Pirates, mores the pity).
I hear there's video clip of him playing last night, but you all know I don't post bootleg video...
