    I've often wondered, despite countless comments and statements to the contrary, if somewhere in the back of their minds they didn't always believe that a reunion would eventually happen. His delivery of that line for the first time in HFO resonates with innuendo. He told some great jokes during the shows and made some profound statements in various interviews thru the years but this one will always be THE classiest and most classic of all in my mind.
    I remember reading somewhere that Glenn said he saw other bands going their separate ways for awhile to work on solo/other projects without breaking up and he never thought of that as an option. He thought it was all or nothing. But if he knew that was an option maybe they wouldn't have broken up.

    And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
    It's a perfect occupation for me.

    Yes, ha said many times in more recent years that the Eagles should have just taken a two year break rather than disbanding altogether.

    Here's a nice one ...

    "Success in life for me is not measured by record sales anymore. It’s measured by how full a life I can lead. That sort of thing is more important to me than whether I sell... whether my album is gold, platinum, or turquoise doesn’t really matter to me. I know what I do. I make records, I write songs, and I dabble in these other things, and I just try to do the best I can and try to have a good time while I’m doing it. My job is to entertain people – sometimes inspire." (Strange Weather European Press Kit 1992)

    ETA: This quote is similar to what Glenn said to me that I described in my tribute in another thread. He appeared to me to be a very content, satisfied, and fulfilled man and it brings me a lot of comfort knowing that he was happy with his life.

    Well he certainly succeeded in all of that Dreamer. Thanks for posting. It really sums him up to a tee. Glenn was a wonderful man, talented versatile yet humble enough to be grateful for his gifts. The world is a poorer place without him that's for sure

    Turquoise . I love Glenn's sense of humor.

    I agree GA, the world is definitely poorer without him.

    I have always loved that line from River of Dreams. It is more meaningful now than ever.

    And Glenn's typical response whenever there was an adoring shout out from someone in the audience ...

    "Thank you, Uncle Bob!"

    I thought of that lyric from River of Dreams so much in the first few days after Glenn's passing, that I made it part of my signature. Jack and Glenn really knocked it out of the ballpark with that song, IMO.
