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

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

The Eagles' medallion should have been cast as part of the statue as he wore it all the time in the 70s. No one would be able to steal that!

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.

I totally agree that the original photo of the head looked more like Glenn than the full statue. The strange thing is that although the original head wasn't perfect I think it was very recognisable as Glenn, whereas even the face now doesn't quite look right - comparing to photos of him my immediate impression is that the statue needs slightly wider eyes and more of a smile. I can see why people say he looks a bit like Randy but I also think the face looks vaguely like Bernie's did back in the day. Overall I'd say it's not as good a likeness as hoped unfortunately, although you can never quite tell how it will look when it is actually unveiled.

On the plus side, I do like the 'Song Power' T-shirt - that was a nice touch.

Does anybody know roughly when the unveiling etc is over the weekend? Will stream it if possible but don't want to be sat here for hours waiting for it to happen.
