Remaining Eagles honor Glenn Frey at the Grammy Awards

[sad-cafe]

as I said earlier. I mostly hate what passes for music today.

give me Classic Rock any day

most of this new stuff is just crap

Kendric Lamar cursing up a storm in his "song" then the first thing he says is thank you go God? Really

guess I am just old fashioned

and Alabama Shakes?

I wish we had a moment of just Don, Joe and Tim on stage. So much more poignant. They've been the Eagles for the past decades, and now they're without Glenn, that's the real story. At least when they presented them the Grammy, Jackson and Bernie should have left the stage with Steuart. Having those others up there distracts from the reality. And yes, I know that Bernie appeared on the HOTE tour.

As regards the topic of modern music, that Thinking Out Loud song that won for best song is fantastic and Ed Sheeran is a great singer. I always enjoy Lady Gaga's performances - haven't seen the one from tonight yet, but she can sing. Harry Styles from One Direction was in the balcony with Cindy at the Troubadour tribute - very cool. That is all I have to say on that topic, I don't know who any of those other people are, seriously. I liked Taylor Swift's sparkle cat suit.

sad cafe, I get it. Music has changed a LOT, and I don't blame the older generation for not liking it!

Austin, I agree with your second point. If anything, I'm plain confused why everyone else got a nice spoken intro, while the Eagles got a short video clip of Glenn coming right off of someone else's acceptance speech. It just seemed very weirdly put together.

Under such sad circumstances, but a lovely pic nonetheless.

I think that picture says a lot.

The tribute, sans intro, would've been acceptable if there was at least a recognizable break between the previous acceptance speech and Glenn's video. I imagine many viewers missed a lot of what Glenn said due to the sudden start, and the abrupt cutting off of the speech was met with a booing audience. Not to mention that a lot of viewers, as well, probably didn't know who or why Jackson was singing with them. One big technical FUBAR! 😡😤

I totally agree! I'm only 22 and I'd take classic rock and old school music over the music I hear daily on the radio. I was totally born in the wrong generation.

Right? It was very strange. It was almost like, I think, the co-writer of the song who had just won the previous award was going to speak, but then they went ahead with the tribute, cutting her off. It was very strange. I work at a theatre, where timing is everything in cues like this, and it was just weird. Live TV, I guess. :/

I had said in my early post that he looked pissed off. Like he wasn't happy about something that went on before they went on stage. It was like Don was going lose it.

I imagine he wanted to be anywhere but there tonight. But, he had to do it.😢
