Glenn Frey Statue Unveiled at Standin' on the Corner Festival in Winslow, AZ- Sept 23

The eyes look like Randy.

Thanks for posting. I see it now.

Not a good likeness. Face far too broad, head too big, not skinny enough and jeans too baggy and doesn't have attitude.

Just as a reminder (as if anyone needs one):

Ooh la la. That would be a sexy statue.

I see the resemblance to everyone that's been mentioned: Duane Allman, Felder, the soft expression in Randy's eyes.

Maybe the likeness to Glenn will improve once it's cast in bronze. Let us pray.

I completely agree with this. In your picture he has his sunglasses on his head; it would be a nice touch if the statue had the shades, too, just like a cool rock and roller standing on a corner in Arizona would have. Hopefully the finished product will be close enough for anyone to say, "Hey, that's Glenn Frey!"

These renditions aren't perfect, but they are identifiable.

I wonder if this is the photo they were trying to work from?








Regardless, all we can do is hope the bronze version looks better, and appreciate the sentiment.

Well - I don't think it's a horrible likeness of Glenn, but it's not a great one either. It's funny, but I actually think the original picture posted of just the head looked more like Glenn than the full statue. I have to say, although I don't think they got the hair right, it does look better than I thought it would. And it's not a very good job of capturing his physique. It be interesting to see what my impressions are this coming weekend.

In any event, I also share the sentiment that it's a great way to honor Glenn and I am so glad that there will always be a place where fans can now go to memorialize him. I'm hoping they will let us leave something at the statue. I hadn't really thought about what I would leave though - gotta get working on this. Any suggestions???

How about an Eagles medallion?

Hmm - not a bad idea UTW if I can manage to find one. Soda and I should have time to do a little bit of checking around when we're there, so we will surely be able to come up with something.

Sunglasses on his head? Someone is sure to steal a medallion.

I left a photograph of him that I had framed there. I don't know what happens the stuff that peole have left there. I'd have liked to get flowers but I couldnt find a florist.

More I look at it the less I see Glenn. Sentiment's nice and all but they should either have gone for a carbon copy of early Seventies Glenn or someone else altogether - it just looks like a weird hybrid of Glenn and a stereotypical Southern Californian IMO.
