Hi Everyone
I'm embarrassed to say that this is my first post here in just over 3 years. I just wish that it was under different circumstances.
I never considered that Glenn would leave us so soon. It will take me a while to process his passing. I have not got my head around it yet.
Watching the remaining Eagles with Jackson Browne at the Grammys was strange, to say the least. It finally confirmed in my mind that Glenn is gone, if I had had up until that point any weird doubts.
I cannot envision the band going forth without their principal member. It would be like The Beatles without John Lennon. Based on personal experience, as soon as a band member leaves any band, the dynamic changes. The Eagles themselves were very fortunate to have replaced members successfully in their career, i.e. Timothy for Randy and Joe for Bernie. However, replacing Glenn is not possible. There is no substitute for him. As has been said many times over: he was the reason the Eagles came into existence. And he contributed so much more to the band than just his musical abilities.
Glenn was extraordinary. I am just thankful that I got to see him perform once in my lifetime, and it was one of the most amazing nights of my life. A wonderful musician, singer, leader and person. My life is richer for having been touched by his music and the wonderful person he was. RIP Glenn . RIP Eagles.

And I know Glenn won't let me down
Welcome back, Mrs. Frey. Well said.

And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
It's a perfect occupation for me.
Hello again, MF! I appreciate how so many of those who have been gone a while have been moved to come back to give thoughts about Glenn, even if it's just for a short while (although I hope it's for more).
Thanks for the kind words, PM and Soda. My thoughts have always been with all of you - life has just been taking over, I'm afraid. I will try and post more often, though. Love you all. xxx

I'm also glad to have you back, MF. We've missed you. This past month has been a sad one for sure, but like Soda said, it shows how much Glenn was loved when you read the thousands of heartfelt comments that have been posted here. It is my hope that this board will be around for years to come, whether active or not, and be an ongoing source of comfort to Glenn's fans, friends, and maybe even family to see all of the out-pouring of emotions by so many when he passed.

Welcome back, MF! Nice to hear from you!
I would not be ok with the Eagles going on without Glenn. It just wouldn't be the same. Its not really the Eagles without Glenn. Like HOTE said, the relationship between Don and Glenn was the soul of the band.
People talking about us they got nothing else to do. When it all comes down we will still come through in the long run.
