This is #13 of what will be 20 segments if I understand correctly.

I'm still hoping Bernie will say whether he was asked to be in Eagles 3.0.

He said he wasn't asked.

Somebody correct me if I’m mistaken, but I believe this is the first time we’re learning what Bernie struggled with, substance-wise. He wore that SOBER t-shirt during the HOTE tour sometimes, but we didn’t know specifically what he was recovered from.
Bernie being a recovering alcoholic is news to me. But yeah, that helps explain that “sober” shirt. I thought it may have been a joke—“don’t blame me, I’m sober” or something like that.
Sounds like Glenn could sure hold a grudge.

I never heard of Bernie having an alcohol problem either. It explains the SOBER shirt he wore during the HOTE Tour. We were all trying to figure out why he wore that shirt. Well, congrats to him for beating his alcohol problem.
Brooke - If I remember right, Bernie said he was not asked and he would not have come back after Glenn passed. He said he had done the HOTE Tour with Glenn and it would not be the same without him. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, as I have not listened to the interview after hearing it when it was first posted.
I wish the interviews were combined to one long interview rather than being little two and three minute tidbits.
Thanks again, NMB. I was also unaware that Bernie was a recovering alcoholic. He and Joe are both great role models for what recovery looks like. As far as Glenn holding a grudge, that may be partially true. However, I believe as he aged, it was more of a case of him not wanting to surround himself in negativity. Being a positive person at the core, I think he just chose not to surround himself with people he perceived as negative. I think he really tired of it, which was primarily the reason for Felder being fired. I'm really glad that he and Bernie were able to mend fences before Glenn passed and apparently came to really respect one another. From all accounts, there were no bitter feelings between Glenn and Randy either since Glenn and Don actually paid for some of Randy's medical expenses. Sadly, reconciling with Felder was not to be, probably because Felder never acknowledged any responsibility for his role in the tensions within the band.
