This week you guys are honoring the late Eagles great Glenn Frey with a statue in Winslow, AZ. Before we get into specifics, how did this idea originate?

Mark: We were just thinking of a way to honor Glenn Frey's everlasting impact on Arizona, so we figured a statue in tribute to him would be perfect. We just had to get the city of Winslow to agree.
NeanderPaul: To be clear, there's already a statue in Winslow that "stands on the corner." Over the years, people have said it resembles Jackson Browne (who co-wrote "Take It Easy") So, when Glenn passed, we thought there should be a second one installed as a tribute. We didn't plan for it to actually *be* Glenn. We just figured people would make the connection on their own.
9) Give us the details on what's going to take place this week in Winslow with the Glenn Frey statue unveiling?

Mark: The day itself will be simple. We'll do our show from 5-10a and then the statue will be installed between noon and 2. All the work of arranging this whole thing is pretty much done.
NeanderPaul: We'll do the show live from Winslow on the morning of the dedication to help kick off the town's annual "Standing On The Corner Festival." We'll stream video, and (barring any last-minute technical limitation) stream the ceremony live at around noon. Everyone's invited to join us live. Either in-person or online.
10) Finally, how did you two guys, along with the Standing On The Corner Foundation and the City of Winslow come up with the money to fund the statue?

Mark & NeanderPaul: It wasn't cheap. We handled about 66% of the costs. The City of Winslow & Standing On The Corner Foundation, who handle the park's administration and maintenance, combine to cover the balance.

Thanks UTW for the article. So that statue really isn't supposed to be Glenn just like the other one isn't really Jackson, but still honoring them and the song.

Looking forward to hearing/seeing what happens this weekend.

Dreamer and I hopped down to the Corner and saw the old statue in front of the mural. I'm not sure where the new one will be... I'm eager for tomorrow!

PS I call BS on the "it was never supposed to be a statue of Glenn Frey" line. I didn't fly out here to see a statue of a random seventies dude. Everyone around here is saying it's supposed to be Glenn, too.
