"For the record, we never broke up, we just took a 14-year vacation!"
(Glenn Frey)
I am so TIRED of hearing that that's why people don't want to see the Chicks. NO--it has nothing to do with that for me. I didn't even pay attention to what they said. I simply DON'T LIKE THEM!!!!!
Oh but honey--you are so MUCH more!!!!“In the Eagles, I do what I do and I am what I am, as Popeye would say,” he said. “I’m the bass player and mostly a harmony singer."
Still don't get that. We all agree that there are several songs that could have sounded great as Eagles songs! I'm not bitter---it just meant a better Expando album for us!He tried out a few of the songs from his latest, last year’s “Expando,” on Henley and Frey. After “not getting much of a reaction,” the good-natured Schmit wasn’t dismayed.
“It just meant was that they weren’t Eagles songs,” he said. “I didn’t pout. I just put them in my back pocket.”
Awww--our humble Timothy! Is it any wonder I love him so much?!?The experience of fronting his own band in tiny clubs at age 62 has made Schmit appreciative of how good the Eagles have it, even in today’s tough ticket market.
“Very few people get to do this at this level, very few people get to do this at all,” he said. “So I couldn’t be happier getting the best of both worlds.
He sings it high, he plays it low
That is a good interview with Tim. I wonder if now that Expando has been released and the "alpha dogs" have heard it, whether there are any second thoughts.

And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
It's a perfect occupation for me.
I am very much a fan of Expando and also have said that I believe several songs would have fit on the LROOE album. But, honestly, I doubt that there are any second thoughts about it from Glenn or Don. Let's face it, as we've been talking about in other threads, this band is all about hit songs. So if one or more of the songs from Expando had become a huge hit, THEN they would have had second thoughts. JMHO
ETA: But I look at it as it all turning out for the best. If they had used some of these song on LROOE, then we may not have had Expando or any Timothy solo shows - so for me, all is good!
