This is from a recent interview with TBS on Sirius:

Soda, thank you for sharing your story. To me, you look good in the photo you had taken with Glenn at Niagara.
I was reminded of this comment from Randy:
From numerous stories, it seems that...
Austin, I'm glad you are able to see it in a slightly more positive light and get take something good from it. For me, it helps to keep a certain detachment and not worry too much about the rights...
I have my own little memorial - I bought a few of Glenn's favourite* pencils and when I use them, I have happy thoughts. I haven't been inspired to write any lyrics, yet.
[*If you remember, Jack...
A rough transcript from and interview with Timothy:
He talks about sitting near the president and watching other people's take on their work. So no suggestion that they would play.
Lots of small things but they add up: old articles and video clips which were new to me (but probably not you), the stories from people who have known him through the years which painted a different...
Six months on and I don't "miss" Glenn Frey. If anything, I spend more time "with" him than when he was alive as more material has become available and I've become more obsessed. What has changed is...
With all the coverage of Prince's death, it's easy to feel that Glenn didn't get enough coverage. However, I've decided that maybe this is the way Glenn would have wanted it. His family, friends,...
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...
Yes. I noticed it because I saw my father become more bent over the years as his spine deformed. Glenn always had poor posture when singing with a guitar but if you look at the photos from the...
Just thinking back to Don saying it would be Glenn's call for when the band ended. At the time, I wondered if this was less about Glenn being in charge and more a recognition that Glenn had chronic...
I'm now in what I call the "resentment stage". It's when everyone starts to get on with their lives and I begin to resent it. I know it's perfectly normal - it's the same as resenting your in-laws...
If I'd come here last week and seen a different banner, I'd have felt sad. Rather than returning to normal it would have felt like it was all over and it was wrong to continue to feel sad. It will...
One of the most upsetting and frustrating things for me is to hear of all the projects that were coming up. It shows he was far from ready to retire.
- 3/4 finished album of original songs
- the...
I find I'm fine when thinking about or listening to "young Glenn". He's a young man with his life and adventures before him. It's the more recent pictures and videos I find harder. For example, I...
This is a reader comment against one of those"reassessing the Eagles" stories. Nailed it!
I know this doesn't apply to everyone, but it's a nice explanation for a 50 year-old about why he was sad about recent deaths.

There does seem to be greater understanding and appreciation of Glenn's part in creating the Eagles. Also, the record companies have now made all ofGlenn's solo back catalogue available in digitial...
Given the outcome, it really is irrelevent. However, I'll point out that the story that Glenn hadn't been well enough for the surgery was from the LA Times citing Irving Azoff as its source.
Whenever you think is the right time is good.
Meanwhile BBC Radio 4's obituary series, Last Word features Glenn. I missed the start but it will be available to listen again for the next few weeks....
I wonder if it's time for a separate thread for eulogies or "remembering the life of" writings. I know that this thread could become that but I'm not sure I'll ever want to start at the beginning and...
I like the "an Eagles has flown".
Prompted by Bernie, I listened to "Most of Us Are Sad".
Most of us are sad
No one lets it show
I've been shadows of myself
How was I...
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,...
