About Strange Introductions

[VAisForEagleLovers]

In searching on Ask.com for info on the Clippers/Lakers preseason game last night and whether any celebrities may have attended (I can't remember which was the home team), I found this. It's not dated, but it seems to be recent? I don't think I've seen it on here.

Well, it eventually turned out to be complimentary. I will pass over the '65 years old' bit.

It is so rare to have any glimpse of Glenn's life that I will take what I can get.

Does anybody else think it was strange to introduce himself as 'musician'? I don't. Because the fact is if he had just said his name the guy would probably have thought either 'who?' or 'what an arrogant a*hole'.

I'm glad he came to his senses about GF!

I think that was a great article!! I found it amusing, especially the way he was using the Eagles and solo songs to make his points. As for the introduction.... I tend to agree, it's a strange way to introduce himself but I also agree, he might have been just "cutting to the chase".

I think it's great that Glenn is interested enough in what his kids are into that he'd volunteer to coach. So many fathers just want to call it in. I think being "hands on" makes a tangible difference in how a person's character is built. When his son looks back on this time in his life, I hope he appreciates his father's efforts and that he'll pass it on. . . . . .

He even took the time to attend the coaching session!

I guess I would have also thought that was a strange way to introduce himself. I think if he just said, Hi, I'm Glenn Frey, that the guy would have recognized the name & knew who he was. It is a bit odd. In any case, nice to see that Glenn is doing this for his son... Oh, and I love the flip phone mention.

TK, I'm amazed at the number of people who like Eagles music that give me a blank look when I mention Glenn's or Joe's name. Usually even Don's. Then when I explain they tell me I must be a real fan to know their names, and I think 'you have no idea...' Even people who know their names take a few moments of 'brain searching' to place the name. I thought it strange as well, but I guess he's had a lot of years to figure out what works best, get it out of the way and start talking about what he was there for.

I like the fact that he took notes. Even that he attended the workshop (or whatever it was). Too many parent coaches think they know it all already.

Thanks for posting that, VAisFEL - Love that writeup! And ITA that he's had enough practice to figure out what works best in introducing himself. All I know is I want to be a cheerleader for Otis' basketball team - I promise not to flirt with the players!

I remember the first time I went to Pebble Beach and Glenn came up and introduced himself to me (well d'oh, of course, I do). He just said, "Hi, I'm Glenn". And I looked at him adoringly and meekly uttered "I know - so nice to meet you". It seemed a little strange to me at the time, but I guess he didn't want to be presumptous. I guess he has to balance what he feels comfortable with as well as the other person.

I note you said "players" and nothing about other people who just might happen to be there...

I cracked up laughing when I read that- I can just picture you looking at him adoringly (understatement)!!
