Oh oh!!! This will not sit well with a few Borderers and for good reason!Rhythm guitarist Frey is, nominally, the bandleader; paradoxically, he’s the most inessential Eagle, something underscored, and painfully, by his solo career. His casual misogyny hasn’t faded, sad to say -- he still refers to his ex-wife as “plaintiff." It is, apparently, a joke he uses all the time; other, more litigious parts of the country might find it funnier than Jersey does.

I think they're talking about his drum there, but your "snare" post is pretty funny!

And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
It's a perfect occupation for me.
Re: East Rutherford, NJ 6-10-2010
But it just cracked me up because we are always talking about him not smiling!!! I had to read it twice and couldn't resist. Admittedly, it could be taken either way. Hey-Granny Smith apples are pretty sour also!

And for good reason is right - because this critic is an idiot. I guess this person doesn't realize that Glenn is so unessential that the band wouldn't exist without him. But honestly, remarks like this are really not too worthy of commenting on at all.
However, this is the kind of perception that is created when Glenn decides to minimize his role to the extent that he has lately. But, let's not get me started.

I'm not a big Glenn fan but I must say, I'd hardly call him a "woman-hater" because he made one negative comment about his ex-wife.I diss my ex sometimes too-it's par for the course for ex-spouses to do that. Come on! Doesn't make me a man-hater. In fact the opposite is the case. I love men especially TimmyB (if you happen to be reading this-"Hi Baby.")
Also, who edited the piece and let the following slide by: If Glenn is the "nominal" (in name only) band leader then, why is it a "paradox" that he is "inessential?" Huh? Lastly, the sentence should read-"something painfully underscored by his solo career" or even "(painfully) underscored by his solo career."
The writer is obviously more concerned about throwing around big words than anything else which is a common mistake of writers that are out to impress their audience, as opposed to, writing about the event itself.

I can see where the misogyny comment comes from with some of Glenn's jokes - not just the "plaintiff" one but the wife/ex-wife credit card joke that sometimes precedes TITL. I've cringed when I heard them, mainly because I felt that he was better than those "take my wife, please" type jokes.
If the writer feels that Glenn is inessential (with which I disagree), I don't even want to know how he feels about Timothy who he didn't even include in his little breakdown.

I have only watched part of these so far but just had to ask.....Where did these come from? These look professionally done? What's going on? And I love the "oh oh" at the beginning of LBG.

The guy was smart enough to film the screens instead of the stage. How many times have I wished desperately that people sitting far back wouldn't attempt to film the stage with the guys all teeny tiny, but aim their camera at those nice big screens right there above them.
LOVE those videos! Thanks for finding them! If only they were in sync, they'd be perfect!
