I like that: "He understood.... how to make everyone else look good".
Glenn speaking about Tim is sweet. Doesn't he also refer to him as the "ribbon on the package"?

GEF - I liked that remark, too. I guess that's what a good quarterback does!Quote:

And I can't help saying that your av is a good example, dreamer!!
Here's a quote from Glenn from 1975 about the other band members:
"I mean we got the songs. We got the best country guitarist in Bernie Leadon, and the best rock'n'roll player in the world in Felder, and the best high-singin' bass player, and the best singin' drummer"
I found one where he also refers to Randy in that way:Quote:

Regarding the 'glue' thing Glenn responds to it in the article 'Glenn Frey's benign dictatorship' in this way:
'I was. I guess so. That's very nice. That's another reason why I couldn't understand all these disturbances from the other players in the band, because I was subordinating myself... Besides being the glue, I was also the guy who said 'you sing this, you play lead on this - not me. I'd love to, but...' The bass players never gave us any trouble though. It was the guitar players'.
Then there is this:
'Well, you see I drafted all those guys. I was the one who chose Don Felder & chose Joe Walsh. I had a lot of singing to do. What I want to say is that it was all of my own choosing. I felt that for the benefit of the Eagles it was most important that we get a couple of blistering guitarists in there. After Bernie Leadon left my role as a singer became much more important. I had to be in tune all the time'.
Here's another quote from Glenn from last summer about the new album (and I didn't note where I first read it):
"We need the record execs to say 'It must be finished by September for a Christmas release.' We have to have a deadline. We put the DEAD in deadline."
And........we are still waiting........
(Although, as a writer myself, I have been known to put the DEAD in deadline too! :wink: )
Aww, that is so sweet - I had to keep scrolling up to read it again. Just makes me love him even more :inlove:Quote:

I bet she was ;)Quote:
