This banner is also wonderful. :heart:
That article is cool and beautiful.
Soda, that banner was beautiful. Thanks for leaving it up so long.
As most Americans know, TV commercials are filled with ads for Medicare. One of the them features a lady saying "I'm only I'm my 60s. I've got a nice long life ahead. Big plans." Every time I see it I think of Glenn and other celebrities/people who never reached the age of 70.
Wonderful article and the students loved Glenn too! :heart:
Thanks Dawn!
The new banner looks very nice, Soda. But, it is hard to let the other one go even though it is a necessary step. As the title of this thread says, Glenn's memory will always be alive in our hearts and as long as The Border remains active.
I absolutely love this banner. I am getting better with all this. almost. I had my friend turn off "You Belong To The City" yesterday. because I thought I could get thru it. nope
I always loved this picture of the guys in their long coats. I notice the change when inverted back to the EOC default after I changed it from OTB.
I had went on the Eagles website and under their tour (or event) they had Don's and Joe's tour dates on there. I guess they will continue to update the website when the surviving members are touring.
I like the new banner too. I know it's sad to take Glenn's down, but we have to move on.
When I hear a song of his, I'm sad, but at least we have his music.
Amen to that, Brooke. Now, if only I could bring myself to listen to it. I'm driving up to Detroit to meet up with Soda and GA at the end of April for the Detroit Music Awards tribute to Glenn. Since it'll be such a long drive by myself, I'm thinking it'll be the perfect opportunity to do just that!
I'm sure that was difficult Soda, but you did it when you felt the time was right. And we all know Glenn :heart: will live on in our hearts and on this wonderful Border.Quote:

I love the new banner too. And that's so great you all are going next month!!! :D
Awesome ladies! That's just wonderful that you are going!Quote:

I don't know how much closure I'll get from the trip, but it's a start.
I don't know how much if any closure I will get from this either. It WILL be different, that goes without saying, but I am looking forward to meeting Soda and Dreamer so much. I've felt very depressed this weekend after being ill last week so I'm hoping at least the anticipation of what we are doing might give me a bit of a lift
I hope that it will be an enjoyable trip & a healing experience for all three of you. I wish I was able to join you.
Enjoy the trip...may it bring you some kind of comfort..can't wait to hear about it.......
Enjoy the trip, ladies. I hope that it help you in healing process.
GL - I wish you could join us too; would love it if you could make it happen. As a matter of fact, anyone that would like to meet up with us, let us know.
I'm not looking for closure either because I'm not sure I believe there is such a thing when it comes to dealing with the death of someone you care deeply about. I look at this more as a 'next step' to move forward in adapting to the reality of such a difficult loss.
I'm afraid that there's no way that I will be able to make the trip, but I will certainly be there in spirit.
Eric Church just played some of "Already Gone" in tribute to Glenn during the ACMs. They did a DJ record scratching thing at the end and then back into his own song. He did a little bit of all of the ones who've passed recently.
Aw. Thanks for letting us know about that, Austin. I hope it shows up on YouTube.
Saw it too, Austin! My sister texted me before it came on because she knew I'd have a visceral reaction if I wasn't warned beforehand... :P But it was a nice little tribute, and I enjoyed it.
I need to clarify. Eric played a part of his new song, then he did a DJ thing with the On The Border record in clear view on the table and then picked his guitar back up and finished his song. Eric himself did not perform the song, they just played the song from the record.
Yes, that was a very nice surprise. :-)
Yeah I'm a huge modern country (not so much classic country) fan, so I love to watch the CMAs and ACMs every year. :)
That was nice of Eric. At least somebody cared to even pay tribute to Glenn even if it was brief. It is cool he called Glenn (or the Eagles) one of his influences.
Austin. I'm the opposite. I hate today's country. Give me Garth, Vince, Alan, Tim, Brad, Keith, Toby, Reba, Martina. Ok. Brad and Keith are more today's country, but I was listening to them way before they got very big.
I saw it too - I'm not much of a fan and wasn't watching, but my niece gave me a heads up to turn it on. I was happy that they did it of course, but it was a little shorter than I would have liked. But, I guess we should take whatever we get.
Something is better than nothing at all, I say...Quote:

Big fan of just about everyone tonight other than Chris Stapleton, he's too classic-sounding for me.
I didn't get to watch the first hour of the ACMs live since I was watching "Once Upon a Time" but I heard about it and saw it after and it was great!!! :D I loved how Eric played the actual songs and they showed pictures of them on screen. He finished with "Already Gone" before going back to his song "Record Year" (which in a way the tributes kind of fits what the song is about). I love most of Eric's songs and his "Mr. Misunderstood" song actually made me think of 70s Glenn too hearing it after Glenn passed. I do love most of today's and classic country. It's always been another genre I've loved and so many country artists reference Glenn and the Eagles as a major influence.
I didn't watch the ACM(opted to read a book instead), so I missed Eric Chirch's tribute. Hopefully, it'll be posted on youtube soon. I'm a fan of country music from the 70s until now, but I like the 70s/80s/90s best.
KISS just did a tribute to Glenn with TIE.

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, and I apologise if this comes across as gloomy or self-indulgent, but I think I need to get these thoughts off my chest, and I posted it here because I think it relates to 'the heart of the matter'.
When Don announced the new Cass County shows, I expected to be excited and that I'd be keen to go especially in the light of the Survivor game. Instead I am afraid to say I feel somewhat bereft. While I am sure there is plenty that I would enjoy in Don's show, to my personal tastes the setlist pales compared to that on the HOTE tour. I would have absolutely loved to have seen so many of those songs live, and there just aren't as many Don solo songs that mean quite as much to me. The Boys of Summer and The Heart of the Matter are very special to me, but the thought of listening When I Stop Dreaming or Shangri-La live cannot get me as excited as the thought of listening to Doolin-Dalton and the reprise, or TLHTM or Those Shoes, or any of the big Eagles hits would. The announcement has really brought it home that Glenn is gone. The Eagles would not be the same without him, but it still makes me so sad that I'll never be able to see him with his band mates and play all those great songs, many of which he sung. The way I feel about this has really surprised me as I did not expect this to hit me so hard at this time - although written about a different subject, 'Here Come Those Tears Again' resonates strongly with me now.
I am quite used to the fact that I'll never see Pink Floyd and most likely Led Zeppelin live, but with the Eagles the chance was still there until last year so it's really hard to get used to. I feel like kicking myself for not going to the 2014 HOTE shows, especially as they came to Liverpool. The main thing I try to console myself with was that when the time to buy tickets to the UK shows for the HOTE tour came around, I was nowhere near as big a fan as I am now and was still relatively new to the band's music.
I'm still mulling over whether to go to see Don or not (of the UK shows, I could probably make either the London or Manchester shows), I really like Cass County and I'm conscious that for all I know this could be the last chance to see him, but I'm a bit worried that I'll be underwhelmed by what sounds like a fairly purist 'country' show.
I think this tour is going to less purist than the last one. The press release says: "The artist will perform songs spanning his entire career from the Eagles and his vast solo catalog, including songs from his latest release, Cass County."Quote:

I agree with UTW - I think it's a CC promotional tour anymore. It's more like the standard Don show with some new music from CC thrown in.Quote:

Thanks for the link!Quote:

If you want to wait until after the first show so that you can see the set list before buying tickets, that's an option for you. However, you might not get a really good seat if you do that.
I say if you're on the fence, do it.
I miss Glenn so much, but I'm going to keep enjoying the rest of the guys.
I was just telling Hubby this evening that the reason I am interested in seeing Don Henley now has something to do with Glenn's death. Not sure it's going to happen, but we're thinking about it.
I've found that No More Cloudy Days is giving me great comfort. I've always loved the song, but now the hope and optimism I hear in Glenn's voice means so much more. I know it's meant to be a love song, but if you take some of the lines by themselves you can imagine it fitting these circumstances. "It breaks your heart when someone leaves, and you don't know why", and "I know a place where we can go where true love always stays..."
Glenn's in that place now, and a saxophone is always playing. :)
Sitting by a foggy window
Staring at the pouring rain
Falling down like lonely teardrops
Memories of love in vain
These cloudy days, they make you wanna cry
It breaks your heart when someone leaves
And you don't know why
I can see that you've been hurting
Maybe I've been lonely too
I've been out here lost and searching
Looking for a girl like you
Now I believe the sun is gonna shine
Don't you be afraid to love again
Put your hand in mine
Baby, I would never make you cry
I would never make you blue
I would never let you down
I would never be untrue
I know a place we can go where true love always stays
There's no more stormy nights, no more cloudy days
I believe in second chances
I believe in angels, too
I believe in new romances
Baby, I believe in you
These cloudy days are coming to an end
And you don't have to be afraid to fall in love again
Baby, I would never make you cry
I would never make you blue
I would never turn away
I would never be untrue
I know a place where we can go where true love always stays
No more stormy nights, no more cloudy days
Thanks for posting those words Pretty Maid - they are beautiful and can apply to so many of life's situations.:cry:
