Eagles Mentions in the Press - Retro Edition!

[New Kid In Town]

Yeah, Glenn not being a big guy was actually the perfect camouflage. He was an excellent athlete. Probably could have played college baseball, but he had other "interests". LOLOL. In that HOTE clip of a game, you can tell something about his athletic skills. He could run like he was on fire and had that easy sort of gait that coaches love to see. (daughter and niece of a coach here. You learn things. LOL)

Hi Pippin how are things. I remember reading an old RS where Glenn said he played Little League Baseball and was on the wrestling team in high school. When he passed, I remember reading an interview with someone (sorry-can't remember who) who stated he was a really good Basketball player. Sounds like he was just an all around good athlete.
Side Note: I remember him saying in that RS interview that he was also in the Boy Scouts. He quit the piano lessons because it interfered with the baseball and scouts. Sounds like he had a very traditional 50's/60's childhood.

@NKIT-- Hey there! Yeah, I remember hearing or reading about him talking about being in the Scouts and playing ball, and being on the wrestling team. That probably just suited his feisty little self. LOL. Yeah, he was just a good athlete. He loved it.
There's a shot in the Soul Searchin' video where he hops over that wall. It wasn't a stunt double. He did it and it was perfect. And let's just pause a minute to appreciate how goooodddd he looked in those Levis.

I agree, he wore his levis well ! Especially in some of the 70's videos.

You mean this?



Love it!

@Soda-- That would be EXACTLY the clip!

Love the video, thanks!

Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I saw mention of the issue a little earlier in the thread... so...

I picked this up at Kroger this afternoon.



There are two more copies there at the moment, so let me know if you need one. I'll see what I can do.

[New Kid In Town]

Wow CA, I can't believe you found that issue. It it the memorial issue after Glenn passed. I'm shocked it is on the new stand three years after it came out. Great find for you.

I remember when Soda, Dreamer and I were in LA in May 2016, I picked up an extra copy of this special edition at Amoeba Records. We were staying at a VRBO place in Laurel Canyon and they had a couple of special edition magazines of musicians on the coffee table in the living room but none of the EAGLES. So I left the magazine there as we wanted our guys represented!
