Now I get the feeling this was more about his concern about Glenn. Can you imagine having to put on a happy face for your daughter's wedding knowing how ill one of your closest friends was.
I have a friend who has 2 autoimmune diseases, lupus & RS. She seldom leaves her home in the winter months. Even other months, if you have plans with her & not feeling 100% healthy she needs you to cancel. She won't even share a bedroom with her husband during the winter months. I feel for peple with autoimmune.

I went to Howard Stern's Facebook page because I couldn't remember what Don looked like in the pictures. He reminds me of what Joe looked like in the NAMM photos, trying to conceal his pain and emotions.Quote:

Respectfully, I believe #3 (actually #1) is considered to be Lemmy from Motorhead. He died on December 28. I don't know him, but apparently it is considered to be a huge loss. Paul is #4.Quote:

I have a feeling they were all there together at some point in December. Is it only me but did anyone else find it odd that Don said no to Bob seeing Glenn. Yes I know visitors are limited with coma patients but geeze Bob knew Glenn before the Eagles did.Quote:

Okay off my chest & on to straightening up my kitchen cabinets & getting 2 cats off my bed and getting new sheets on, easier said than done.
'All three were together'.... I was under the impression that Glenn was in a coma for the entire month of December until he died. From what I have read he may even have been placed into a coma the previous month.Quote:

In any case Don was surely relaying what he had been told by the hospital.
Today, I went to a Farmer's Market. They were selling some chicks. My friend urged me to pick one up and I did, which then caused me to immediately think of the "River of Dreams" video. However, instead of getting sad, I smiled at the sweet little chick and I became determined to listen to the song when I got back to the car.
I listened to it. I stopped after that song, but it's a first step at least.
I have an avatar of that moment in the video. My Rugby League team is the Sydney Roosters. I might post the still.Quote:

That would be awesome to see that still FP! I like that name for a team
Glad that you were able to listen to that song, Soda.
I saw a TV ad for one of the RA medicines last night, and I almost cried.
I admit it was hard to watch Glenn in the doc last night but I reminded myself he's pain free now and smiling down now.
:weep:His pain is gone and his worries are too!! For me, that doc is still amazing, but I can't bring myself to watch the very ending of it and last night's was super hard 'cause it had RIP Glenn!! I still can't let go!!
Watched the documentary again this week, to honor Glenn. I still love that documentary so much! That documentary brought me back to the Eagles, to remembering how much I had loved their music, and was the impetus for going to a concert during the last tour. We went because I was afraid they would not come back :(. Some parts of the doc were hard to watch and know he is gone. Fortunately my version did not include that sad RIP.
I'll probably watch the doc tonight with my uncle, for the first time since Glenn's death. Don't know how I'll handle it.
About an hour ago, I was in the living room with my mom, and we were playing on our tablets. I was setting up my Spotify account, and decided to play my "loved tracks" playlist for a while. 2 Glenn songs came on, THIO and Smuggler's Blues. For the first time since his death, I was able to enjoy hearing his music again.
That is too awesome that you can listen to his music again Kim:applause:!! Love both of those songs of his!
I do enjoy listening to Glenn's music (even after all of this)! It is very comforting to me and it has helped me through! I'm not crying nearly as much as I was!!
I just read on Facebook ...that Glenn was buried at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Rowland Heights CA...some guy says he has a "distant connection to the band" wrote it...anyone else heard this?
I haven't heard about this, but super curious now!

Glenn Frey definitely deserves a one last time get together and tribute tour :( :heart::heart: are there any plans or anything on the cards??
Here is my reasoning, now please bare with me and continue reading. I'm 24 years old (I swear not some confused young guy) and I absolutely love your music. I genuinely am one of the kind of younger guys that believe in MUSIC and not some computerized noise. MUSIC with feeling. Right now back to the point I never had the pleasure of seeing you live in concert, always on the pokey little TV screen. I would definitely love for you swing over the UK and bless us with some musical genius and I will finally live my dream of seeing you LIVE in the flesh. So.....opportunity for both parties, I live my dream, Glenn gets to see you all perform/tour, and we all give Glenn the send off he deserves. So what do you say????:band:
I'm glad you like the Eagles music Ian, and I think there are plans for some sort of tribute to Glenn :heart: in LA at some point but as yet there is no firm plan made. I'm sure when there is people will post about it.
oh right. Thats Brilliant to hear :) id better start backpacking ;) ;-):thumbsup::angel: see you when i get there :heart:
Thanks Zelda, please keep us posted on anything you may know. I will be in California later in the year. I will try to factor in a visit to the cemetary if I canQuote:

It is a sad loss to all music fans. There is definatley a hole in the world
I so agree with that! The day the music died!! Lost one of the best ever!
Welcome Ian. Glad you love the band's music.
As GA said, there are plans in the works for a tribute service for Glenn in L.A., but no details have been announced yet. As far as any other future plans, to be honest, I think that is probably the farthest thing from anyone's mind at this sad time. As I said in another thread, I would guess that Don, Joe, Timothy, and Irving will get together at some point later in the year to decide where they go from here.
P.S. Since we already have other tribute threads in Glenn's forum, I have moved your thread where more folks will see it.
I watched the new American Experience show last night on PBS. It was about President Garfield's assassination, and how the doctors of 1881 handled his wounds. It was a reenactment, and a very good and realistic one. Toward the end, Garfield's sharp decline made me think of Glenn and his very sharp decline. I hadn't cried in a few days, but a few tears fell a few hours ago. :weep:
It's weird. Earlier, I made comments in another thread about a photo in which Glenn's hands were placed near his crotch, and about his jeans. (Sorry for derailing that thread a bit). I felt fine doing that and it actually helped a bit, but now, roughly 10 hours later, I feel bad anout and wrong for making those comments. It's still a rollercoaster of emotions. :depressed: :? :sad:
I find I'm fine when thinking about or listening to "young Glenn". He's a young man with his life and adventures before him. It's the more recent pictures and videos I find harder. For example, I listened to one of Don's interviews from September when he was asked about the future of the Eagles and he spoke about how they were taking the rest of the year off and how he was looking forward to a quiet January. I'm also remembering that at the start of Don's press tour, he was sounding like he was done with the Eagles but as time went on his position softened. With hindsight, I wonder if the softening was because he knew Glenn was unwell.
