Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.

I looked that up after reading the quote and it was 1975. Glenn may have been unattached at the time. How he knew about her is what I want to know. Maybe when he was in London, he spent his Saturdays at home watching The Cliff Richard Show (a tame family variety show).

You've heard of a little movie from 1978 called "Grease"? (I confess to trying to achieve the final "Sandy" look but I ended up looking young, not vampish)

[Sorry I posted this before reading UtW's message] I would think it would be 1973 or '74 - that's when she started having hits in the U.S. I love her early stuff! It's lots of fun and brings back good memories.

I would've thought she'd be too wholesome for Glenn though! I mean that was her image back in the day.

I've heard of the movie, but never watched it. I had to look it up to see who starred in it. 1975? That's a bit earlier than I thought. Glenn was still in his "playboy" period.

I'm amazed that there is someone in the world who hasn't seen Grease. It's a classic!

This author thinks Glenn should make a country album. I agree!!

I'm wishing for a Longbranch Pennywhistle reunion. Country, American Songbook, Everly Brothers - I don't care.

I've seen the previews on tv for it occasionally. It didn't seem like a movie that I'd enjoy watching, so I never have.

I don't think Glenn would appreciate the dismissive reference to 'piano music'. I think a country album would be too obvious and especially now would be seen as an imitation of Don.

On ONJ, a woman who I have never liked, Australian or not (she was born in Britain but grew up in Melbourne) my father knew her father briefly when Brin Newton-John was a professor at Newcastle University (that's Newcastle NSW where I grew up).

I agree with it being a bit odd, but I do think it's cool how music can affect us, by bringing back memories or describing a period of time during our lives.

His father is, as far as I know. His mother passed in Sept. 2013.

Is Glenn's father Edward Frey his stepfather? In the Marc Eliot book IIRC the author says Glenn's biological father abandoned the family when Glenn was very young. I wonder if he ever made contact after Glenn became successful.
