here we go again...

I haven't viewed the clip yet (I can't get it to play) but I'm unconvinced, simply as his wife is in close proximity.

You don't ask the prisoners about the conditions in a jail with the warders in ear shot.

Never-the-less, it's good progress. I take it Randy hasn't hired a personal trainer to get him in shape for a possible Eagles appearance.

Never-the-less, it's good progress. I take it Randy hasn't hired a personal trainer to get him in shape for a possible Eagles appearance.

He's very trim but doesn't look or sound robust enough for a concert tour.

To state the obvious, you can't really assess someone's physical and mental health from a paparazzi video.

I thought any threads continuing to discuss Randy's private life would be closed.



I'm hoping that this tmz report is the first step to getting some clarity.

I haven't discussed this with Soda, so I don't know her thoughts on it for sure. With the release of the TMZ links, it changes things, but I imagine that as long as the discussion does not again devolve into speculating about Randy and his personal life, and pressing for answers that cannot be found here, the thread will stay open.

There is no way in heck TMZ just happens to "run into" Lana and Randy Meisner behind a Studio City deli for goodness sake, the day after TMZ posted the article about the conservatorship. This reporter would have absolutely no idea who they are if he saw them in public, and he doesn't know who Glenn Frey is. They let TMZ know where to meet them so that Randy would have the opportunity to say his bit.

I really don't know, but if they had arranged that encounter, wouldn't Randy have dressed/groomed better and chosen a better locale than in front of a dumpster? Just sayin'.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It's likely they knew where to start and followed him. That is, after all, what the folks at TMZ do...

For what it's worth, Don Felder, who has said before that he remains friends with Randy posted the latest TMZ interview on Facebook with this comment:

If anyone has been concerned about my dear friend Randy Meisner's wellness please view the link below. There have been some very harsh rumors running around the web and I'd like you to see Randy speak for himself. TMZ caught up with him and captured his own take on what's going on.

Grooming and appearance is certainly something that will be taken into consideration.

It is absurd that the person who is supposedly the victim of emotional/physical/financial abuse is interviewed IN THE PRESENCE of his alleged abuser! Who thinks that is a good idea, or has any value whatsoever??!! As a lawyer, my unsolicited advice to Lana and Randy is that they need to retain a lawyer specifically to guide them in this issue, stat, and they absolutely should not speak to the media (or anyone) about the topic, especially TMZ for goodness sake.

I agree, VA. This is newsworthy and as long as we stick to discussing the TMZ report, I personally don’t think we need to lock the thread. However, as you said, if the discussion devolves into speculating about Randy’s personal situation without knowing the facts or making inflammatory and judgmental comments, then that is crossing the line. And if you're not sure where to draw the line, then it is better to err on the side of caution and not post at all. And, that actually applies to all thread on the board, not just here.

I agree with this, MC. I will say this about TMZ - even though they are definitely known for reporting on the more sleazy and salacious types of stories, their reporting is usually credible and factually accurate. However, to your point, even though I'm glad Randy spoke out, it does seem like it would have been better for him to have appeared alone. I just hope this mess gets resolved in Randy's best interest soon.

I forgot to say I really like his t-shirt! He's so cute!
