Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.

I agree about the car, even though I usually don't like the fancier cars. I wonder how many different types of cars he owns?

Glenn gets a brief mention with some kudos for his words on songwriting...

A bit of a misquote, but he got the sentiment right. Good to see Glenn get props!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I think Glenn did say it, but not exactly that way in the documentary. I've been trying to remember where, though. I'll try to listen to the Art of The Song interview again, maybe there. I'm tired, though, so I may be imagining things.

Didn't he say it when he was talking about Bob Seger taking him under his wing?
IIRC, Bob was the first guy that Glenn knew that wrote his own songs. Glenn asked him about it and Bob told him to just write and write. Glenn then says "But Bob, what if they're bad?"... "Oh they're gonna be bad. You just have to keep writing until you write one that's good."

I assumed the Seger part was the segment that the guy was referring to. That's why I said it was a bit of a misquote, but the sentiment was the same. He got the idea.

Well, Bob Seger was Glenn's producer at around the time he gave that advice.

Glenn got the credit he deserves and imo, that's what matters the most.

Glenn has told that story many many times & he has always said that it was Bob Seger that gave him that advice.

I'm still playing catchup, so this is an interview from Jan 2013 with NZ Herald.. Glenn talks about the documentary and his After Hours tour.

Well after bringing clarity to stories of corporate malfeasance and death in US military custody - as well as biographies of Jimi Hendrix and Hunter S. Thompson - Gibney would seem uniquely qualified to take on the story of the men behind Hotel California ...
"Yeah," laughs Frey," he's perfect for a revisionist our-version-of-the-truth history of the Eagles."
Gibney acted as producer on the film, bringing in Alison Elwood, his usual editor, to direct the film, a mammoth task of gathering contemporary interviews and archival footage. Frey sounds pleased with the result.
"We have a two-part DVD that we are really proud of. We are quite happy with it right now and it tells the truth. We don't dwell on anything but we don't hide anything either."

My emphasis.



Also about his songwriting course:

"It was great experience for me. It's got me thinking like a songwriter again and it's got me anxious to write some new songs myself, just to see what I might be doing.

I'm hoping that anxiety was productive.
