Remembering Glenn Frey

[SilverAcidRayne]

Hey everyone. I know i'm not here a lot but I wanted to drop in and say hello and that I will be playing Eagles music a lot more today. this was a horrible day for a lot of people last year and i'm pretty sure none of us will recover for a long time. but smile and enjoy the music he left us and hope 2017 is better to us.

Today will be an emotional day of appreciation and remembrance for Glenn.

I know all of us Borderers are grateful for the support we will find here together. Thank you, Soda. I'll be thinking of you, and everyone here, today.

Yes, it's a very emotional day. I just listened to Bob Seger's song & sobbed all the way through it. The tears are flowing reading all the tributes posted on Facebook.

here I am thinking I could get thru today without crying. that is a beautiful song. and now I am a wreck.

It's still hard for me to believe it's been a year too. I know I'll never forget this day either. I am glad though for the music and that I was finally able to write those scenes I pictured to the Eagles songs when I was kid for my 6th novel "Playing With Fire". Not only did their music influence it but Glenn himself. I think he would like that I actually hand wrote the entire first draft too in some notebooks. I normally do a mix of handwriting and typing chapters on my computer but for this one went back to the original way and the way I know he wrote his songs. So in a way it was also my personal tribute to him and hopefully I'll have it out by next year.

I also love Bob's song!!! It's such a great tribute to Glenn. I'm also so happy to see all the posts too on my social media pages and just saw Glenn's trending on Twitter. We all miss him so much.

I have a DVD of all of Glenn's music videos. I'm watching that right now. I wanted to watch the Live from Dublin show, but its not playing on my work computer. I will try again later.

I won't ever forget January 18, 2016. I'm soo glad I was at home when I found instead of at work or even driving my car. I had a few minutes to cry and shout about Glenn's death before my mother got home last year.

I'm thinking of Cindy, their kids and of course Glenn's bandmates on this day. Don is off today and Joe has his show in Las Vegas.

"I said to the drummer, 'Hit it hard even though its a ballad and that's a little incongruous.' I wanted a ballad with a heavy beat because that's the way I remember Glenn."

He's right about that. It's something I'd noticed on songs like "The One You Love" without working out exactly what it was.

I 'm not sure how I feel about the anniversary. I have been amazed by what I have learned of Glenn over the last year and feel sad that there wasn't a greater celebration of the during his life. I hope Glenn knew how much people loved and respected him.

Hello everyone...I've been a member of this site for a while, but I've never posted anything before. On the anniversary of Glenn's death, I wanted to share my story and my thoughts with you all.

I'm 30 years old, younger than the typical Eagles fan. While I have always been a fan of music that was before my time (I've liked The Beatles and Queen since I was 5 years old), I had never been much of an Eagles fan before. My mom had played Eagles music for me when I was growing up, so I was aware of them and I knew some songs, but I wasn't a big fan. Even then, though, as a child, I found Glenn's voice soothing and comforting.

After Glenn died, my mom wanted to get the Dead Dog Records arc of Wiseguy on DVD. As you probably know, that arc, with Glenn in it, isn't available on DVD. I love Wiseguy and have always wanted to see the rest of the show, so I was game, and bought a bootleg copy. I knew I'd like the show (it is a great show and if you haven't seen it, you should), but what I wasn't prepared for was Glenn Frey. The second he appeared on the screen, I was transfixed. After getting through Wiseguy and watching the tribute to him at the Grammys, I was curious to see what he looked like when he was younger. I looked at pictures and watched a few youtube videos. I was in awe. I had never seen such a good-looking man, or anyone so cool, in my life.

As the year went on, I watched, read, and listened to everything related to Glenn and the Eagles that I could get my hands on. Since then, I've become a huge Eagles fan, in awe of their music, their lyrics, and their harmonies. No band or artist has ever resonated with me this much, like it speaks to my very soul. I regret that I didn't appreciate his talent and the brilliance of the Eagles sooner, so that I could have seen them in concert.

It is a strange feeling, to feel so sad for someone's passing, when you were not that aware of them when they were alive. It truly makes my heart ache to know that he is no longer on this planet. Barely a day has gone by that I haven't thought of him. I still find his voice soothing and comforting, but now there is sadness, too. In my religion, you light a candle on the eve of a loved one's death, and it burns for 24 hours, in honor of their memory. I lit one for Glenn last night, even though it is usually reserved for family members. It just feels so personal. I cannot imagine the day when I will not miss this sweet, wonderful, beautiful man. RIP Glenn, we miss you.

Feeling very sad. This was the worst moment of last year for me. A year already. Rest in peace, Glenn.
