    Someone who knew Glenn wrote this one to Bob Lefsetz and it was in his column today:

    "We're all going to hell in a Honda; drink the good wine now!"

    Amen!

    I was just looking at some more of Glenn's quotes and I saw that the HotE documentary was not the first time Glenn had made this statement. I'm sure I had seen this before, but I had totally forgotten about it ...

    "What happens is, if you make music for your time, and you do it well enough, sometimes it becomes music for all time." (European Press Conference 1996)

    And here's an analogy about songwriting that I like a lot ...

    "[Don and I] agonize over the lyric. We analyze every 'and' and 'the' and 'but.' It's like buildin' a table, an' then once it's built, deciding how much time you want to spend sanding and glazing it." (Phonograph Record 1975)

    I thought I'd bring this over from another thread. I had read where Jack Tempchin told a version of this story before and I think it's vintage Glenn. Jack told the story again at the Troubadour tribute for Glenn on Saturday night. It refers to the first time Jack and Glenn got together to write songs. He says he goes to Glenn's house and there were about a hundred lit candles all over the house. When he inquired if the candles were for a date Glenn may have later that evening, Glenn replied ...

    ‘No, man, that’s (for) the muse. See, she’s up there, and there’s a lot of guys tonight trying to write a song, and we want to make sure she comes down and visits us.

    "They shouldn't have given me all this money"

    the way he says it, his facial expressions, he's a true humorist.

    Wow, that's an interesting one.

    The one Kay cited from 1975 is also interesting - it jibes with what JD described about their writing process, agonizing over every word. Curious to me that one hears about them taking great pains with the lyrics in particular.

    Though I guess they were just as perfectionist with the music. I seem to recall in that 1979 Rolling Stone article, Henley was working on a bass drum hit for hours.

    Glenn. We can get all of our frustrations out on the baseball fields and not on each other when were working.

    Glenn: I HAVENT BEEN GETING LAID.
