So very sad that Glenn has passed away.
I like to think that when he got to the other side, Glenn picked up a guitar, told the 'plaintiff ' joke, then started to strum the first bars of Lyin' eyes.

"You thought you would be satisfied, but you never will learn to be still."
It interesting the way a person you've never met can have such an effect you. For as long as I can recall, Lyin' Eye's has been in my top 10 favorite songs of all time. The Eagles really are the soundtrack of my life. I loved them before I "knew" them. As a kid, I clearly remember hearing The One You Love on the radio and waiting for it to play again. (Just now realizing both songs have to do with loving someone you aren't with- hmmm- interesting) I didn't know that was Glenn until years later, heck, at that time, I didn't even know Glenn was an Eagle. My friend/co-worker walked in today saw me and started crying. She is also a fan of the Eagles. She was playing Glenn's performance of Desperado from Letterman on her phone. We talked about the end of an era. It hurts our hearts to come to terms with his passing. My own sadness pales in comparison to those who know or have connected with him on a different level. If I'm sad, they are devastated. I can't imagine the countless people who cried themselves to sleep last night and woke with tears this morning. Glenn touched people through his music. Thankfully, we have that to hold on to.
Years ago, when I first found this site, there was fear put into me that "this could be the last time the Eagle's tour". I quickly bought a ticket to see them in Chicago. Then a few years later, they came back and I had to see them again, because the fear they may not tour again, this really could be it. Last time they were here, I skipped the show, thinking, these guys are never going to retire, I'll catch them next time. Ah, hindsight.
So many lyrics have been posted here and elsewhere that can apply to Glenn's passing. My Man, It's Your World Now... fitting and sad. Don said it best (doesn't he always), "It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it." Yes Don, it will. I've felt these guys would be rocking well into their 80's... and given the chance, I believe Glenn would have.
please feel free to move this to a section that sees it fit. but I found this and I thought you guys would want to read it.

I really hope the memorial will be shown like Micheal Jacksons and hope that Randy and Felder will join Don,Joe Timothy and Bernie nothing could make Glenn happier then seeing all of his brothers pay tribute to him.
my above comment got chopped off cause of the site issues. but I had said that I didn't wanna do much of anything. I'm still broken over this. I loved the other ones who left us but this one really hit me. and I think this will be one hell of a memorial. I'm pretty sure they will all be there.
You rarely see Gene Simmons this emotional. And it's so great what he speaks about Glenn here - what Glenn did when KISS was inducted to the HOF.

And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest'.

And more brutally, though I will omit the two lines just before it:
'Thou'llt come no more,
Never, never, never, never, never'.

I wish to thank each & every one of you for the sentiments you have expressed here.
