That's bizarre. I hope it's not a sick joke.

The listing says "Record added: Jan 18, 2016" which would be the same day he died. Seems bogus.

No, they did have him listed on January 18th, right after he died, they just didn't have the burial information, all that website would say for the last few weeks was that they were seeking burial information on him. Now it seems like they got that information somehow. If true, I wonder why he was buried up in Oregon and not California or Colorado, did Glenn have any ties to that area.
David Bowie starred in a couple of films. Glenn did not. He was a supporting actor in one film which has been forgotten & had a small part in Jerry Maguire. I'm afraid I think it's a very large stretch to call him a film actor. I also doubt he will be mentioned at the Emmys. Again his TV roles were supporting roles, even in Wiseguy. We know what happened to his one starring role.
As for him being buried in Portland I highly doubt it.
He should still be included in the segment imo and I'm happy to see so many others think the same. Watching award shows over the years they do tend to include musicians that acted or contributed to films and TV shows. I thought he wrote the song so that's my fault there. Glenn was an actor and his omission just doesn't sit right with me, same as with the others they didn't add either which seems to be more than usual.

I saw the comments on the Rolling Stone website & I'm afraid I still disagree that Glenn had a big enough movie career to be remembered in this way. If you look the people who commented don't even know about Let's Get Harry. So they are talking about one small role in one film. That, with respect, isn't a movie career.
I know a lot of it too was because "Jerry Maguire" was nominated for Best Picture and Glenn's role was a big part of the story. Then his songs being in movies too. I know they included Michael Jackson the year after he passed and I don't think he was in that many films. Plus, the Abe Vigoda one is just wrong especially since his "Godfather" co-star that passed away too Alex Rocco was in it.

yeah why would they bury him in Oregon? I'm not even sure he had any history there. California I would believe before Oregon. it smells like "manure" to me.
I saw a post on Facebook several days after Glenn's death. The person that posted said that someone who claimed to have a very distant connection to the band stated that Glenn was buried in a cemetery in the Los Angeles area. He did name the cemetery. I have checked their website & it looks as if it would be a likely place for Glenn to be interred. I don't see any info about Glenn, but I would think that the family might not want the info released to the general public, at least for a while.
I would like to know if he is buried in the cemetery in LA that was mentioned previously before we go on our roadtrip in August. If I could fit in a visit even to the cemetery it would be great
