Soda, very cool avatar! You were blessed to get to meet Glenn several times! Hang in there, we love ya! :hug:
I believe it's Topcat. Which seems apt!
No worries. I hope you're feeling better today.Quote:

Glenn kept rubbing his hands between songs like they were aching. Something I hardly ever noticed at my other Eagles shows. I will treasure that night forever. I am so happy I got to see the Eagles as much as I did.
The first time I saw them was the HFOT - July 2, 1994.
I've been in a state of shock this week continuously thinking of Glenn, Cindy and their children. And the Eagles.
It's just heartbreaking. This is an end and we will never see Glenn onstage again nor the Eagles.
Soda - thank you so much for this site and all you do. Please take care of yourself and we are thinking of you. It has been a comfort this week reading all of the fan posts.
R.I.P. Glenn.
Thanks for all the kind words and support, guys. I know we're all having a hard time. It's just my condition has a tendency to kick in at the worst times!
Here are a few more tributes from musicians:

in all honesty, i'm not sure if I really want to hear from the rest of the band yet. I know they need their time to process and deal. and in a way for us fans hearing from them kinda does seal the deal. at least for me. i'm a total roller coaster with this. like the rest of us I don't want to believe it happened. and I also feel like I missed out on seeing them live. I regret that so much now.
I'm going to the doctor in a little bit at my mother's insistence. My stomach is giving me problems, and my mom thinks that it's a virus or something.Quote:

This is one to make you wince in sympathy.

I actually watched this show on youtube on Saturday night. I just got such a strange feeling when watching this. Glenn made a joke at the very end that some day they tour will be named Reincarnation One. Honestly, while I enjoyed watching this show, I was also unexplainably sad. Got to just remember the good times.Quote:

Funerals also take days to happen in Australia although with my father, he died on Thursday & the funeral was on Saturday.Quote:

Please, please take care of yourself Soda. :depressed::grouphug:Quote:

I thought of a couple of tangential things; he died on Martin Luther King Day didn't he?
'So I said 'wake up Linda, I've had a dream'......this was actually the last song I heard before he died.
'Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty he's free at last'. I hope nobody objects to that.
He was a writer who after one show I remember, possibly the Minnesota outdoor show, wrote a wonderful tribute to Glenn & his music. I found it very moving at the time.Quote:

I agree with those who have stated that we should not necessarily expect individual statements from Joe, Tim, Bernie & the backing band. Not yet, anyway.
Despite his pain he still looked young, the last time I saw him, young & vigorous, & his voice was as strong & beautiful as ever. He's forever young, I guess, because 67 was too young.
I have to thank my husband for being supportive. He even read some of the details on a site at work without me having to tell him about it. He has this list of musicians he has seen who died & it's expanded by one (he came to the Sydney Cricket Ground show in 1995). It helps to be with someone who has a quirky sense of humour.
absolutely. I had to stop looking. breaking into tears.Quote:

He really looked like he was having a blast.
My mind keeps going back to thinking how the guys always got together in January to discuss the plans for the upcoming year. This is not the way they needed to get together.
Glenn Frey died on my birthday....sigh!
Cameron Crowe @CameronCrowe Jan 19 Glenn Frey on success:You can be down in the gutter talking about missed opportunities,or you can be successful, and pull the OTHER guy out.
Every time I read the title of this thread it feels like a knife state me in the heart.
GL, I agree - it's so stark. I hope that at some point it can be renamed as the thread becomes more about remembering and celebrating his life.
I agree as well. It hits you in the face, like "wham, he really is gone".

Colitis is something that you go to the hospital for".
That is one of the first things that came to my mind when I heard the news about the colitis!Quote:

It's obvious he was very sick and as others have said, I admire him even more for fighting through these issues.
I saw them in March 2014 and July 2015 and in both concerts Glenn announced that he "had a cold." I read this in several reviews during the HOTE tour as well.
Here is what Henry Diltz said about Glenn.
https://m.facebook.com/henrydiltzpho...176259/?type=3Quote:
Glenn Frey was one of the good guys. He was whip-smart and funny as all get-out. I spent time with him in the desert, backstage and in planes, boats & automobiles. Capt'n Longneck they called him for awhile and he influenced our beer drinking habits.
There's a reason some people's talent rises to the top of the heap. It's because their energy was able to reflect on life around them and represent it in a unique and joyful way. That was Glenn's ability and he shared it with us. He's gone home now and left us with his songs & our memories. Take it Easy, he taught us. There are so many cool people on the other side that it'll be a pleasure to get there.
Yeah - I got a little kick out of The Onion article too.
And AG - I had forgotten about that interview, but I know exactly which one you are referring too.
Since we are going to be getting hit with a major snowstorm tomorrow, I went out to do the grocery store thing this afternoon. After reading some of your posts about how listening to the music has helped you, I decided to maybe give it a try while I was driving. I don't know why, but I selected a CD that I had made after my mother's passing with all of her favorite Glenn/Eagles songs. I stuck the CD about halfway in the drive, and immediately pulled it back out. Right away, I knew it was a bad idea - I figured running down the road driving my car while sobbing was surely not the way to help me loosen my load. Since I'll be snowed in most of this weekend, I'll probably try again soon. I'll eventually come around, I'm just a bit slow. I think I'll feel better once we hear about plans for the memorial service.
Cameron Crowe's article on Glenn. (It's one of the best I've read.)
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/fe...-king-20160121
I managed to listen to The Very Best of last night. I could enjoy the songs where Glenn wasn't singing lead or co-lead for the most part., Hole in the World was hard to listen to because there is a different kind of hole in the world now. I had tears flowing while listening to Glenn's. It's going to take time, for sure.
I had post a story about what happened to me yesterday.
I don't know if it was a sign or what. I was thinking about Glenn at that moment and then bam Already Gone comes on the radio or was playing when the radio came on. I guess I have my purse to thank for bumping into my radio and cutting it on that moment. I was playing the Live in Dublin cd on my phone and I had been thinking about Glenn off and on for the last few days. Just saying to myself I can't believe he's gone.
I remember the interview too. I replayed it many times after it aired.Quote:

I can't keep from reading all the comments, articles & tributes on the web though. Many are still bringing tears to my eyes. :weep:I'm hoping to feel better when we hear about the memorial service too.
I've been waiting for Cameron Crowe and from his recent tweets it was obvious he was working on it. He paints a vivid picture.
And to add to the music and autobigraphy we won't get to hear, there's the recurring role in Roadies that I'd been hoping for since I first read about the project.
Another thought - as we're not going to get the autobography, wouldn't a biography from Cameron Crowe be great.
I've been listening to Eagles and solo music exclusively in the past couple days - what really hurts for me is watching videos of Glenn. I watched F1, which made me miss his goofy dancing during ASWTDID, and my mom shared a performance of Desperado that he did on Facebook, which got me very sad. I'm not even gonna touch HFO for a while because that will definitely get me crying.
My philosophy professor also brought up Glenn's passing in class today. All I could do was sigh and look down at the table. :(
AG, I too laughed but I think the bit of levity was a healthy ice -breaker. Besides, after reading so many comments about Glenn's incredible sense of humor I have to think he would have found it humorous too.Quote:
