Timothy in the Press/Blogs/etc.

Can someone explain where the "ribbon on the package" quote referring to Timothy originated? I hear it from time to time, but don't know its source. Who said it in what context? Thanks!

Hey ladies, have any of you read Pickin' up the Pieces by Richie Furay?

I have read it. I enjoyed it. Timothy's time in Poco was covered.

Glenn has been known to use the phrase about Tim.

Please don't get upset, but he also used the same phrase about Randy.

The logic is that a ribbon goes both above and below what it wraps, completing it with a flourish. Similarly, Tim and Randy have voices that soar above while their instruments run below and complete the Eagles with a flourish. I think it's an apt analogy and a very nice compliment.

Thanks for asking, MC. I always wondered that, too. And thanks for the explanation, Soda. Did it come from an interview then?

[sodascouts]

Yes. Glenn has been using that analogy since the 70s. I think the oldest magazine I have with it is a 1974 issue of Crawdaddy (obviously referring to Randy then).

Thanks ladies

I'm not sure how much is about Tim, I was trying to suss out out before I ordered haha

Awww, that makes sense. So cute - top and bottom, got it. I always thought it was like the "icing on the cake" or "cherry on top", because Randy and Tim were sort of, you know, ...chick magnets, in addition to being good musicians. All of the guys are chick magnets, but you know what I mean. This explanation is more complimentary on a professional level.
