    Ah, ok. Thanks for the info. In a bit, I'm going to upload a sample index and see what you guys think before I link it from the main page.

    OK, here is the template for how I've got it done now:

    Big Life: All About Frey

    BTW, does anyone think I should make more than one page for "quotable Frey"? It could get really long.

    You will need a few pages. I think it will expand for some time.

    I still think the answer 'what do you call a musician without a girlfriend' is 'a vocalist' because the musician's instrument is his girlfriend. As Nellie Frey once said, 'Glenn, if your guitar had T&A, you'd never date another girl'. It could well be 'homeless' but to me that makes less sense.

    I am glad you included the Hall of Fame speech because that summed up so well why he is the leader of the Eagles. He really knows how to inspire and charge people up.

    I listened to it on headphones because we'd discussed it before, and I'm almost sure he says "homeless." The idea is that musicians are always so poor that they have to be supported by their girlfriends. I think that's why he follows it with "We're bad dogs." It actually is pretty funny - at least IMHO!

    Good grief, I've never seen that On performing quote before. I am partial to the sweaty look, and, oh never mind, off for another cold shower.

    Everything looks great as usual soda. Of course, I'm also headed for a cold shower ( yeah, I know, what's new)!

    A couple of snippets from the Costas interview:


    Rejected names for the Eagles included the Saltines and the Small Fr(e)y Dance Band. Catchy, no?!

    About Lyin' Eyes: 'Lyin' Eyes was about us as struggling musicians looking at high class unattainable girls'.

    Songwriting: 'It's important to allow people to let their own imagination become involved with the work'.

    and: 'I like the phrase 'affable cynicism''.

    About Love In The 21st Century: 'Loneliness is an industry in this country'.

    And another well-known fact is that his favourite black Gibson is called Old Black.
