Glenn Frey in the Press - Retro Edition!

[Outlawman13]

Love that interview, but it's too short!!! LOL. Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, and Stevie Winwood would be amazing in a band!!!

From a site talking abut Henry Diltz's work:

While hanging out with Glenn Frey and Don Henley I would hear them comment on the UCLA cheerleaders on TV. They would joke about calling their manager to send a limo for them. I told this story to David Cassidy. A German magazine called to say they wanted to do a home story on David Cassidy and did he have any ideas? He said, "Tell them to send a limo for the UCLA cheerleaders." So they did. The cheerleaders arrived at David's house with a uniform for him. Afterwards, David became a good friend of the girl on the right.

Love In The 21st Century. He had bleach blonde hair.

Somehow I must have missed this video/hair and it was a good thing. I don't like him as a blond. He has such beautiful dark hair.

Guys, I have found a freaking goldmine of old articles from newspapers!

I used to have articles that I scanned in on the sites, but I took down all of them because of that Righthaven group going around a few years ago suing people who'd posted articles. However, our friend Google has a news archive where we can go get 'em.

Here are the ones I found on Glenn:
