Glenn Frey in the Press - Retro Edition!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

This is really interesting insight from this 70's poster boy for sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. And GEF - I'm with you all the way on this one - I never noticed a car in those stills!

[EasyFeeling]

Great car. Great hair. Great video!

... great man! These are adorable shots.

Thanks for posting it. Interesting to see what was going on in Glenn's mind.

I was looking through the People Magazine archives and found a few cute bits from years ago. An excerpt:

People Magazine - March 24, 1986

NOW HE'S GUNNING FOR STARDOM: Glenn Frey had a tough time getting a handle on his role in Let's Get Harry, the rocker's feature film debut. The movie, which is scheduled for summer release, stars Robert Duvall, Gary Busey and Frey as blue-collar workers who rescue a kidnapped buddy in Central America. Told that he'd be trained to use UZIs, MAC-10s and M60s, ex-Eagle Frey admitted he had limited experience with weapons. "The only thing I've ever fired," he said, "is a guitar player."

[practice makes perfect! lol]

Yes. I remember that piece. Who was he suggesting that he fired? Bernie Leadon? He didn't fire Felder in 1980 (he didn't do it until 2001). The assumption has always been thet Bernie left the band voluntarily, but it would not surprise me at all if Glenn DID fire him.

[sodascouts]

I was thinking maybe he just meant a backing guy from his solo touring band.

I don't think Glenn "fired" Bernie. Bernie was a co-founder of the band - unlike Felder, despite the impression Felder likes to give about them all starting out together.

Can't you just see Glenn at Baseball Fantasy Camp? I bet he was in seventh Heaven! An excerpt:

The New York Times - April 14, 1983

SCOUTING: Fantasy Campers
By Frank Litsky

The latest fantasy craze allows men in their 30's and older to live out their dreams of playing baseball and spend a week learning from former major leaguers. The $2,295 fee includes airfare, breakfasts, lunches, uniform, videotape and personalized baseball cards.

The Dodger camp is the creation of Max Shapiro, a 39-year-old Californian who founded a company named Baseball Fantasies Fulfilled. His Dodger campers include a Baptist minister from Los Angeles, a Los Angeles pediatrician named Frank Sinatra, a one-armed trucking company owner from Minneapolis and Glenn Frey, the lead singer in a now-disbanded rock group, the Eagles.
