Glenn in the Press/Blogs/etc.

I bet it's on record somewhere. How I'd love to know!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - it would be very cool to know for sure.

I'd love to see a 20 year old Glenn acting!

Rolling Stone talks about the recent frequent passing of musicians, including Glenn's passing, and the potential end of the classic rock era.

As a young person, it really hurts to realize that most of my favorite musicians are over the hill now (over the age of 50). I know that their music will live on after they are no longer with us, but still, it does hurt, especially since I will probably never get to see any of them in concert.

I still think it's a travesty that Glenn did not get a cover story from Rolling Stone, and for that I do not intend on ever buying one of their magazines again. I'm even somewhat reluctant to visit their website, but I will do so only if there is a mention of Glenn or the Eagles. This is an American music magazine that couldn't see fit to properly honor the passing of the founder and driving force behind what is widely considered to be America's greatest band. I'm not trying to overdramatize this, but I feel betrayed by their lack of respect. It feels really disloyal and unpatriotic - kinda like watching someone burn an American flag.

I'm rather shocked, too. I wouldn't expect him to be on the cover of any of the british magazines but that's because they will always favour a british artist over an american (there are about four or five Bowie covers and at least two with Lemmy).

PS. Maybe it's because Glenn no longer looked like a Rock Star. They may have worried readers would mistake them for a banking magazine.

He looked like a rock star to me.

They put actors like Robin Williams & Philip Seymour Hoffman on their cover after they died.

I know David Bowie deserved a cover, but the thing is GLENN FREY and the EAGLES are the epitome of AMERICAN MUSIC....AMERICAN SOUNDTRACK...HE deserved a cover more than anyone else.......

I'm SOOOO very excited to know that the remaining Eagles will be doing a tribute honoring Glenn at the Grammys <3333

Re: The Rolling Stone cover, if they thought Glenn in his later years didn't look enough like a rock star, they could have used an older photograph. Either way, IMO he certainly looked more like a rock star then than Chris Martin does or ever has (I think he'd probably admit this himself). Indeed, if the main concern is looking too much like a banking magazine, I once read a story recalled by a member of the British band The Fall about how a taxi driver once had Coldplay in his cab and thought they were stockbrokers! It's a bit of a sneering article (and somewhat hypocritical as the musician himself admits he often claimed to be an engineer), but it is quite ironic in the light of Glenn being left off the cover.

I'd agree that David Bowie deserved a cover though, especially as he did die first - I have to be honest and say it wouldn't have made sense to have a Glenn Frey issue before the Bowie one, but this month's cover could definitely have waited.

Thanks for the Coldplay story. I wasn't terribly serious about the cover photo, just trying to think of any justification for the omission. No doubt, it's down to what they think their readers would like to see. If the comments Rolling Stone article on the Grammy tribute are anything to go by, RS readers (FP excepted) are a bunch of idiots with no sense or respect.
